    Where's Froch's highlight reel?

    I dare anyone to attempt it. It would consist entirely of him hitting Dirrell on the back of the head.

    One things for sure. Dirrell wouldn't stay in one spot long enough for Calzaghe to throw his 100 pitty pat puches in a row.

    You mean like when Joe defeated Peter Manfredo? Death by a thousand pitty pat slaps.

    Manfredo wasn't quite knocked out -- he was actually suffocated by Joe's hands. He couldn't breathe due to the sheer volume of pitty-pat that surrounded his face.

    calzaghe had a nightmare pinning an OLD elusive version of HOPKINS!!!...what do you think he would do with Dirrell....its a stylistic nightmare for JOE...Dirrell also hits harder than Hopkins.

    Frank Wareen would never have made this matchup for JOe in a Million years unless it was in Cardiff with Dave PAris the REF!!!

    Careful dude, I actually know a guy named Andrea (pronounced Andre). If you saw this dude in the streets you wouldn't even think about ****ing around with his name.

    Eubank was too big of a ***** to fight outside the uk...Dirrell would knock that guy out inside a couple rounds...

    Dirrell KO percentage: 65%

    Eubank KO percentage: 43%

    Dirrell would be the 2nd best opponent Calzaghe ever faced in terms of where they're at in their respective careers at the time Calzaghe fought them so I'm guessing he lasts the distance and loses a close fight. SD or close UD for Calzaghe

    good god people Calzaghe would embarrass Dirrell he would probably "Lacy" him. A Prime Calzaghe with no hand issues probably would stop him.

    Dirrell has NOTHING for Calzaghe.

    Most Yanks have only seen Calzaghe fight 3 times

    (i) Jones

    (ii0 Hopkins

    (iii) Manferdo

    Thats it.

    Look at the level they were fighting at also. Dont forget that Eubank also lost a bit of killer instinct after the 2nd Watson fight.
    Eubank defended away in Germany against then undefeated Rocchigiani who became the WBC LHW champ when beating M Nunn.

    Joe was a great fighter, but for anyone to even suggest Dirrell wouldn't give him a fight, regardless of the outcome (which is debatable IMO) is kidding themselves.
