    It's possible. He has the physical tools to give Ward quite a few problems. And I think the fight would give us a much clearer idea of just how good Ward is. However, like the majority, I think Ward has too much overall craft for Dirrell.

    Hell nah. People are still sleeping on Anthony and haven't realized he's the better of the 2 Dirrell brother's yet. Just like people finally realized Lamont was better than his brother. Neither of the Dirrell brother's can beat Ward, but Anthony, with more experience would have the better chance. Anthony is much more rugged. Much more willing to bang. Won't fall on the ground when **** gets tough. Andre may be the better boxer, but Anthony is the better fighter of the 2.

    I'm slick black all day, but I can't see how anyone is impressed with Andre. He falls all over the ring against Froch. That falling all over the ring is the reason he got Ko'd by Abraham. Always falling on his ass like Cory Spinks when **** gets real. His best win was against Abraham, a guy he's suppose to beat. Abraham loses to any decent 168 lber. Against Froch, he couldn't hold it together.

    Ward's west coast style would embarrass Dirrell.

    I think too many people are writing dirrell off, he isn't as weak mentally and zab Judah and while ward is talented, he isn't on mayweathers level either....the fight would be a close chessmatch....I think ward would be the favorite, but if the odds were right I would throw some money on dirrell

    He could, but I'd favor Ward by a little bit. He seems more able to make it his kind of fight.

    Dirrell would not beat Ward, Ward would rough him up. Dirrell too fragile.

    I would like to see a rematch of Froch and Dirrell first.

    He has all those tools, but his extreme ***gotness cancels them all out. What a waste of talent.

    With all due respect, do you know what this guy's been through? He's got flaws but mental toughness isn't one of them.

    With respect, what he has been through don't matter does it? He showed us his mental toughness or lack of in the ring.

    I mean is this what you call mentally tough?
