He's been irrelevant since arthur Abraham snatched his soul eons ago

That was Andre

C'mon man you can still sell your ass, to Danny Jacobs for example or even Caleb Plant wouldnt be that bad of a fight

[jonnyc420]

Have a good retirement Dirrell. Not much of a loss if we're being honest.

Nobody gives a dam at natural things that occur in life, this boxing and before he fought this club fighter his last fight he got his assss whipped and got a gift and need I mention the asssss whipping Benavidez put on him. That’s who deserve a Canelo fight, a young gun who comes to bring it! I know you still sleeping and forgot about all this relevant sh_tttt though.

I didn't say that he must be selected before Benavidez, I just wrote that he would deserve a payday more than people like those I mentioned. Even later on in 2022.

It would be a letdown of epic proportions if Canelo made this fight. Unless it was on free tv or something. Akin to when Floyd picked Andre Berto

[TreyShaw]

Anthony is a good guy.

Heck maybe he can talk to canelo and be like “ hey nelo give me a shot just a keep busy fight for you I’ll be grateful”.

Who knows Canelo might just feel bad for the guy.

Be prepared for Benavidez vs Dirrell 2 for vacant WBC super middleweight title as Canelo gets elevated to franchise champion again.

I dont think the WBC will do that to Canelo, they already had a bumpy road before and wouldnt want to be on his bad side.

To be entirely fair, Dirrell would deserve the payday. He's been through an awful lot of bad stuff, cancer and everything.

And - is he really worse as a Canelo opponent than, say, Callum Smith? Or fùcking Yildirim and Fielding?

Merits it more than Yildirim and Fielding (although I thought Fielding had some secondary belt at the time) perhaps. I don't know why, but I have never liked the Dirrell brothers as fighters (don't dislike them personally). I cant recall a fight where I didn't want their opponent to win.

Anthony is not from the same cloth of his brother Andre. He comes to fight, and he is a decent fighter. I believe he would try to win and get KTFO against Canelo rather than looking pathetic as Smith looked for 12 rounds.

Yes, you're right in regard to Fielding, he did have a minor belt at that time. Still, he deserved the Canelo payday less than Anthony Dirrell.
