    I don't think Joey would have fought Dawson(Or he would have fought Dawson)Johnson or Bute..His track record shows he avoided prime tough competition...
    Lacy was the most feared man in the division when Calzaghe fought him.

      How is that when Froch had a better connect % then Dirrell..Mainly because Dirrell threw alot of punches without landing many..A robbery,my man you must not know what that means..That's like me saying the Kessler fight was a robbery..It was a close fight which could have went either way..But IMO Froch clearly beat Dirrell you don't win fights by your movement ya win it by connecting and Froch had the better connect rate(from watching it)..

        Lacy had'int fought anybody yet,and was still a mystery...Khan was suppose to be the next big thing too and was KO by a nobody..Juan Diaz was tought to be the next big thing and can't even beat Paulie(I had him losing both fights)until proven it's all talk..I'm not talking bout talk I'm talking bout what they are,Taylor Dirrell and Kessler are proven Lacy was not...You would have been better off saying Kessler he was prime and dangerous but he is just one fighter..B-Hop and Jones were not prime...

          Okay. It was a close fight. A close fight that Dirrell CLEARLY won. He was boxing circles around Froch who was swinging for the fences and hitting nothing but air, all night long.

              Yeah, Dirrell did clinch a lot. But that's part of boxing. He was deducted a point, but I still thought he won the fight. IIRC, I had it 114-113 Dirrell. That's just me though.

                Haha. You wanna explain that 'Dirrell was proven' claim? Who the **** did he fight before Froch? Taylor wasn't prime either, you know that as well as me. As for Kessler, Froch couldn't beat him even after Calzaghe and Ward had their way with him.

                  yes lacy had a lot of hype but if you take a look at his resume and watch the actual fights you will see the hype was unwarranted. i thought omar sheika beat lacy before the calzaghe fight. guys like dirrell and pascal are far above him. even a guy like brian magee is probably better than him.

                    It was a close fight,but just as I said with the Froch Kessler fight it was no robbery(other then one of the judges scores)it was a fight that could have went either way..IMO the Froch Dirrell fight was not as close as Froch Kessler..

                      Dirrell was more proven and back it up when it came to up his level..Outside of one fight I thought Dirrell had the goods,and he back it up in a loss to Froch(He look good in the last few rds)and he kick AA's ass..The Kessler fight was a good close fight I had Froch winning but it was close Kessler did not run away with it...

                      BTW:Taylor IMO fought Pav to a draw and had a win under his belt and was very confident going into the Froch fight..He was still a dangerous fighter unlike when he fought AA..
