    I'm a big fan, I think he has tons of talent. I do wish he'd get a good trainer other than his grandfather to see if he could improve on some little things though.

    I think Dirrell is both stronger and faster than Ward.

    I don't think that beating Miranda is exactly an accomplishment at this point. Watch the last couple rounds of that fight. Miranda was basically only throwing with one hand trying to land a KO bomb. And Ward turned it into a hug fest.

    But, I also think that Ward is more focused than Dirrell and Dirrell better be at the top of his game.

    Totally agree.. **** Miranda. He's just a closet journeyman who couldnt throw a straight right hand to save his life. Dam he sucks.. He makes mayorga look like a sweet scientist in there.

    OFF topic but Green doesn't need to rematch that journeyman.. He would destroy him and get no credit for it anways.

    Dude, Dirrell would ****in make Miranda look like a bum's bum.

    Miranda would actually land on Dirrell. Dirrell is conventional. He's got speed and an amateur style.

    Speed is the only thing that seperates him from the pack.

    Miranda landed on Green and Pavlik.

    Ward made him look like a lumbering imbecile with no option other than his right hand even if that was half the case.

    Dirrell would actually get hit by some of those right hands where Ward would not.

    Dirrell would also not fight Miranda, and just run the entire time.

    I really like him. Feel like his management kind of fumbled by not getting him more involved. Instead of capatilizing on wins over Oganov and Hanshaw, they've got him out of action for way too long and he's officially lost all of his shine to Ward.

    I still think he'll be great.

    ward-dirrell is similar to mayweather-judah imo. both fast, one fighter with more pop and the other better defensively. direll is better than judah tho, the only problem is he hasnt faced top comp so we cant gauge his mental side which we see in the ward-miranda fight that ward definitely has
