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.Comment
