Maybe, but I remember when Carl Froch was in a similar position early in his career. He was good, but he didn't look great. The step up in competition brought it out.
I agree, think he may have motivational issues against lesser opponents, but look what happened the 2 times he was in the spotlight against Mohoumadi and Fielding

Dirrell has the kind of power that could be a truth-test for Callum Smith.
Might have been his last fight, I just thought he looked a little too mechanical; kind of like he had to keep resetting himself. I can't help feeling that against a more fluid opponent, that's going to be magnified. A bit like Kovalev against Ward. We'll soon see.
