    People like Anthony Dirrell are the WBC world champ :rofl

    Aside from being a boring fighter, this guy has zero personality.

    Possibly the worst champ out there at the moment IMO

    Forget belts...they don't mean **** and never have. All might as well donate them to Ward.

    Groves is still a talented young fighter.

    i was happy for dirrell last night. the belts mean a lot to the fighters but for me personally, they don't mean anything and haven't for a long time. too many "world titles" makes it almost impossible to compare belt holders from today to champions from years past. i just want to see good fights in this era.

    with that said, i'd still like to see the heavyweight belts be unified by wlad or someone else. "undisputed heavyweight champion" isn't a term that's been heard since lennox.

    No sir--- Jessie Vargas and Miguel Vasquez are much worse champions than Anthony

    i just dont understand what this has to do with anything, and anthony can be exciting against a normal fighter. bika is a mental patient and you have to be careful against him

    What has his personality got to do with his standard as a champion?

    this era is weak because of the personalities of the champions?

    That exact same belt was once held by Glen Catley.

    So no, I dont think Dirrell holding the title means anything about this era.

    Maybe Catley had a great personality though?

    No, but your just singling out one out of a few comments I made. That statement was made just as a note about his overall marketability.

    Yes, his personality doesnt have anything to do with his ability to be a champ. I just wanted to point that out in my overall view of how bad he is, should have clarified.
