    I didnt actually watch Degale fight him, but we should consider 2 things. One this was 4 years ago, and Mohammedi was still 31, now he's 35. Secondly just because you can't stop a guy doesn't mean that someone else who stopped him 4 years later is better than you :patsch.

    If Dirrell isnt shot by now he'd beat Zurdo and Smith.

    Dirrell (Andre) is the uncrowded champ at 168 imo.

    If he wasn't so rusty he probably would have beat degale too, I think without all the knockdowns he would have won. Too bad Dirrell is practically irrelevant now, there isn't much value in beating him, too much risk too little reward. Zurdo and Degale are the best 2 SMW, and that's the fight I want to see, not the hypejob smith bro bums. Would be fun watching Zurdo beat him up and have all the UK fans crying though.

    He's going to get back in the mix, it's only a matter of time.

    I'm 100% certain Mundo munches Zurdo.

    Zurdo has work rate and size. That's it.

    He'll be forced to move to 175 within two years and become Nathan Cleverly mk2.

    Tangentially, do you reckon Froch, for commentating, made more £ than Groves did for fighting last night?

    That'd be a kick in the teeth.

    No sirree :bart

    He's a 'British style' fighter, in that he could probably do with branching out from Joe Gallagher's School of Linear Movement™, but definitely world level.
    Ramirez without his reach advantage would be a lost little puppy, and at anything other than distance he's got nothing.
    Callum would marshall him, set subtle traps, get inside and bang him out with no fuss.

    That said, 175 is a different ballgame, so he best get used to chewing on wheatgrass for the next 10 years.
