    If the Dirrell brothers win world titles in 2015...

    They surely won't fight each other, right? Klitschko situation all over again.

    I also remember back in 2010, the fight many hardcore fans wanted to see was Andre Dirrell vs Ward. That never happened, but now maybe if Ward gets his promotional shit sorted out, we'll finally see him in the ring with at least one Dirrell brother. Kickass.

    Didn't Andre dirrel fake an injury to duck ward?

    And yea this situation is different....they aren't 1 and 2 like wlad and vitali were and it's a much less historical and illustrious division

    And of course Andre and Anthony won't fight.

      It would be pretty ****ed up since they won't fight each other and they won't fight Ward either because Jay-Z's beefing with Haymon.
      So I guess there won't be unified champ anytime soon in 168 if both Dirrels win world title. And the fourth champion Abraham... Lol, he clearly won't fight outside of Germany with any of those guys.
      Maybe if the sanctioning bodies will force the thing someone will collect the three main belts, but idk...

        To be honest, I don't see either of them being long reigning champions like the Klitschkos.

        Anthony is ****. Unless they feed him bums for years, he's losing that belt soon. He might even lose it to Ugly Kid. That's a 50/50 fight.

        I like Andre, he's actually talented and could be a superstar but his mental game is weak - doesn't strike me as a long reigning champion. He'll find a way to lose.

          I don't either, but we could see a case in 2015-16 where they'll hang around as champions making few or no defences, then either one or both move up to 175; Andre most likely first, since he fought there recently. It won't be anything special.

          He isn't as outright talented as Andre, and I've only seen the Bika fights, but he seems like a tough bastard when it matters; whereas Groves has looked so shook by the Froch losses that he's more likely to be the one to fall apart on the big stage again. I thought he was brilliant from 2011 until the later rounds of the first Froch fight, but since then he's been proper gunshy and not using his skills.

          Such an inconsistent guy overall, in and out of the ring. He was looking stellar against Abraham, only to fall apart down the stretch and... well, all that other crap. Then he looks to be on his way back with Fiddy, but no. Reminds me of Khabib Allakhverdiev, who had one fight of brilliance a long time ago, but nothing else to show for it.

          Regardless, DeGale-Andre is one of the best 'pure' match-ups that can be made this year. Oodles of talent in one ring, but also a potential stinker of a fight; I hope not.

            I have tried to erase the two Bika fights from my memory but didn't Anthony try to cruise and run in the late rounds because he thought he had the fight in the bag? He did something gay like that. I remember scoring the first fight for Bika.

              Anthony is shi.t??

              Take that pic off your avatar before you throw that word around.

                I had the first fight for Bika as well. Awful stuff, and the longer in the past it remains, the better. I was half-asleep for the rematch, but I do remember Dirrell pulling it together during most of the fight and winning clearly. Even looked good in spots.

                But even with Anthony's shortcomings, Groves will fall apart again when it matters.

                  The idea of brothers fighting each other is ****** and ridiculous. Only an unreasonable idiot with no heart and no sense of family loyalty would insist that brothers fight each other so they can know who is the real champ. I doubt this will become a problem with the Dirrell brothers because I don't think they are good enough to win and hold all the belts for long especially Andre Dirrell. The Dirrell brothers or any other pro fighting brothers should NEVER be asked to fight each other for ANY REASON.

                    Ward should easily defeat either Dirrell brother although you never know for sure until they fight.
