Andre Dirrell: "No more small fights, I'm ready for a world title in my next bout."

It will be Balzsay most likely.

What top ten has Miranda beat?

I knew that was coming. He beat Allen Green and is about to fight Andre Ward. He also beat Eastman when he was a top 5 middleweight.

The winner for Miranda vs Ward deserves a title shot a hell of a lot more than Dirrell does now.

[Fox McCloud]

He does not deserve nor will get a title shot yet. He needs to beat a top 10 guy before he calls out the champs. At least one!

I wasn't paying much attention to the rankings at 168 before I started following Dirrell, which was after the Oganov fight, so I'm not really sure.

Neither Hanshaw or Oganov were top 10 ranked?

Either way, he's been doing what the WBO has been telling him to do to get a title shot at their belt... the last few fights he has taken have been WBO eliminators.

He does not deserve nor will get a title shot yet. He needs to beat a top 10 guy before he calls out the champs. At least one!

Stranger things has happened. Neither Froch nor Pascal had beaten a top contender before squaring off for the vacant title.
