It's just a mind-set. He has all the tools and he's the bigger guy.
If Joe Calzaghe and Andre Dirrell got into a shoot out then I'm going to have to go with the bigger guy who might be just as fast. And I sure as fuck don't think that Calzaghe is going to try and out box him.
Joe's game is too be busy and he is good at making adjustments during the fight. But if your in it with a younger, fresher fighter who does comparably the same thing, what are you going to do? Just be MORE busy?
Joe ends up on the Canvas against good fighters he will eat the tocker pudwill's up all day long
No, right now he is too green to beat Calzaghe.

He does blatantly model his style on Jones.
A little bit.
He is a like an improved version of a prime Roy Jones.
They both fought Anthony Hanshaw, Dirrell TKO5, RJJ barely won.
Sorry...Dirrell KO1!
The only possible outcome.
Dirrell is legit. He can beat you a number of ways.
We haven't seen if he can peform in true back against the wall situations where he's hurt or tired.
But his athletiscm would bother Joe terribly. I think those are the kind of fighters that Calzaghe would have problems with now. A athletic fighter whose feet are as good as his hands.
While I think a fighter like Jermain Taylor could possibly decision Joe Calzaghe (toss-up as I think Joe could out-work him but it could go either way), I think Andre Dirrell could stop him. Dirrell has pretty good pop and would stun him with something quick like Hopkins did, but harder.
Dirrell, imo, would have more problems with a Tarver counter punching type that would try and time when Andre let his hands go than a guy trying to just be busy. Just styles as I see it.
I suspect your predictions are a tad premature.

Dirrell press conference KO >>>>> Calzaghe
I bet half the Yanks here don't even know who Dirrell is. Brits lead the way on the Dirrell hype train.

I inspired the thread so i thought I'd better get in there. Are we enemies now?
only if you keep crying on my shoulder like you were in the other thread :lol1:
Of course he would, Dirrell sees his opponents in bullet time.
You can't beat The One, not even if your an agent of the (British) system like Joe is...
