You have probably only seen two of his fights. I guarantee that. He didnt run against AA. He took it to him, and embarrassed him.
no....he's a bitter racist european who was going to hate on dirrell no matter what he does or doesnt do
Is this a joke thread?
Dirrell is a pussy ass crybaby who runs like a scared coward every fight.

I hope you mean p4p at the time not p4p all time. Cus Dirrell will never be even top 100 all time. Just look at Bert Sugar's top 100 list he has Roy Jones 88 and Hopkins at 91. You think Dirrell will even make top 300? lol
Yeah I mean at the time. Don't worry I'm not retarded.
jacobs is nothing special and korobov will have problems with movers.
jacobs im not quite ready to give up on yet. korobov i definitely agree. but both are still young and have plenty of room to improve. 1 tangent i would give korobov against movers is that he's a pretty good body puncher.
i cant think of a switch-hitting stylist who can box equally from either stance. that is quite a rare skill. switch-hitting isnt rare, but being effective from both sides is and it creates serious problems for his opponents as well as it opens up plenty of options for dirrell.
-he can dominate from distance with his jab
-he can box circles and utilize sharp angles with combination punching like he did vs abraham.
-he can utilize his superior foot speed and feints to create holes for counters
to call him 1 dimensional is pretty closed minded. RJJ wasnt a front foot fighter or an inside fighter either. did that make him a 1 dimensional fighter as well?
No, but Jones was very capable of it whenever he ended up in there. So far Dirrell's only answer is to tie up in that range. hence why so far i would rate ward as being more dynamic.
I dont know about all that. On top of all the fighters like ward and abraham he has to contend with now...there are alot of really talented middleweight prospects coming up who will probly be supermiddleweight in a couple of years like korobov and jacobs.

How does Dirrell not have heart? So he didn't put on the best performance against Froch, he obviously really wanted to win but he fell short, even though I believe Dirrell easily won that fight. He'll be a top P4P fighter in a few years.

being ambidextrious doesnt = versatility to me.
and what i meant by pretty much same gameplan in every fight is that he pretty much relies on his lateral movement and quicker reflexes in every fight.
He can lead, or he can counter...either way he looks to be out of the opponent's direct path before the opponent can react.
Ward can use lateral movement, counter, fight inside, or even bully his opponents around the ring like he did against ravelo.

its going to be very misleading because dirrell is still a young guy with a lot of room to improve.
I just been saying as of right now....i dont see him as being dynamic.
Oh im not blaming anyone for disagreeing, its just my opinion.

Dirrell smashed Froch and attcked frochs in the championship rds 11 and 12. he has heart.
Dirrell does not have a champions heart , talented but no way will make ATG status .

A lot of people rank RJJ really low because of his recent losses, and lack of fighting the best. I disagree with them, but I dont get recognized to make such lists either.
Im going to bump this thread in 3 years, and we will see what everyone is saying then.

please don't you'll only embarrass yourself cus in 3 years Dirrell will be a gatekeeper journeyman
Top 10 P4P fighter one day? Possibly.
Best fighter P4P? Highly doubt it.
Comprable to RJJ? Never.
