STFU with this nonsense

Dirrell is better, in terms of athleticism. Yeah though, most of the top athletes know the score at this point; your average NBA, MLB or NFL players makes more money than your average boxer. Gamboa, Russell, Donaire, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Martinez, Dirrell, Ward, Haye, Klitschko - there's still a decent amount of top, top athletes. Can't wait for Ward/Dirrell.

I'm not only talking about HW's either. Even the lighter weight classes, don't have once in a generation type fighter/athletes like before. For example SMW, theirs Ward, and then a bunch of really good fighters, that aren't athletic enough to keep up with him. Their mostly all skillful fighters with good fundamentals.

There's Pacquiao/Floyd/Marquez, then the talent level severely drops off.
