    Anthony is good but a bit too stationary, not because he doesn't have the legs but because that's his preference, to stand and counter.

      Hopkins Jr would break his will and make him quit in the later rounds.

        how?

        Dirrell is fast as **** and he's moving around the ring at PACE, nonstop, he slides along the ropes and is VERY difficult to pin down.

        I think it is a fascinating matchup, i'm jut not sure if Dirrell will even get there, he is wasting years of his prime, and his style won't age well past 30
        Exactly why I've been dying to see this one.

            I think it's exactly that simple. Ward will put a ton of pressure on Dirrell. We've seen that Dirrell hasn't handled that well. Fight over. Wouldn't be a knockout or stoppage, but Dirrell would get manhandled.

              You don't understand how special Dirrell is. It would probably be Ward's toughest fight.

                Dirrell is a talented fighter no doubt about that.

                  He'd dive on the floor and ***** the referee for 12 rounds.

                    He has the skills to do it, but doesn't have the heart to match.

                      Dirrell will run and potshot, I don' think Ward has the foot-speed to cut off the ring.
