Rumors of Andre Dirrell's next fight?

[tjose385]

Will do.

For those of you who didn't know, since it has been mentioned that Anthony Dirrell is fighting on the Angulo card, he is Andre's brother and was out of boxing for 2 years after a cancerous lump was found on his chest. He just returned late last year and it slowly getting back into the swing.

He was considered by many to be the better prospect of the two before he got sick.

No he was not considered to be the better prospect. the top two prospect coming out the 2004 olympics was ANDRE dirrell and andre ward

what did Zuniga do to deserve a title shot? oh yea, he beat Oganov.
what did Inkin do to deserve a title shot? beat Mario Veit?
what did Balzay do to deserve a title shot? beat...I cant even name anyone.
and what about that last guy that fought Chagaev? Drummond? what did he do?

I dont think Dirrell really has won a title shot either, but hes just as deserving as anyone else that gets a title shot nowadays. especially if youre dealing with the WBO or WBA.

And I wasn't saying that Dirrell wouldn't be a worthy title challenger. I just took exception to the other poster calling the Euro champs frauds when they have wins over world class opponents. The Hanshaw win was impressive, but the Oganove win meant nothing, and the Stevens fight was a visual disaster.

What do you think? Is Anthony the better prospect? I have seen a bit of Andre's early work, and it wasn't all that impressive, but his last few outings have been extremely impressive IMO.

Anthony is the more fundamentally sound of the two, he switches stances like his brother but doesn't get as reckless and his defense is better as well but obviously Andre's level of opposition has been much better because of Anthony's long layoff.
