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

              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.

                He does blatantly model his style on Jones.

                    I suspect your predictions are a tad premature.

                    Sorry...Dirrell KO1!

                      No, right now he is too green to beat Calzaghe.
