Dirrell was robbed against Froch and was dominating Abraham. 2 very good wins and he should be undefeated.
look at the level Toney was fighting at, when SMW champ 1993 he wins the title from iran barkley a fighter who years earlier was blown away by nigel benn in 1 round and pummelled to a loss by a shot roberto duran barkley went onto lose 11 out of 25 fights following this fight and never beat anyone who was remotely good in doing so,the guy was so desperate he was even plying his trade as a HW in the late 90's against the likes of berbick and they say this era is a joke govonor chambers a guy with a career record of 9 wins 7 losses, all 3 fights prior to toney were ko losses! ricky thomas: won 11 lost 14,the 4 fights he had prior to toney all losses! glenn thomas:won 29 lost 8, lost to roy jones prior to toney and finished his career with a first round ko loss to jeff lacy. danny garcia: won 30 lost 22, was coming off losses to chris pyatt (a steve collins victim) lamar parks etc larry prather: won 19 lost 24,lost his last 5 fights prior to the toney fight even losing to nicky piper tony thornton: won 37 lost 7,lost to chris eubank a year earlier. anthony hembrick: won 31 lost 8,lost to maske prior to toney and orlin norris a year earlier. tim littles: won 27 lost 3,maybe one of his better wins,had fought mainly bums with the exception of a close UD over frankie liles,went onto lose to frankie liles in a 2nd contest following the toney fight. vinsom durham: won 21 lost 37 enough said. charles williams: won 37 lost 7 drew 3,lost to maske prior to toney. This content is protected and finally the Jones fight and, That was Jones big SMW victory where Toney was alledgedly weight weakend, other than that Jones didnt do much at SMW. Froch and Kessler have much better SMW resumes than all of the fighters mentioned on here. Thats why I didnt include them as it wouldnt have been fair
Like i said Toney's resume is better than any current SMW's resume, also would beat the living **** out of any current SMW.
No shoulds or coulds please. Boxing News and The Ring both scored for Froch. Dirrell lost. Abraham is not a good SMW and Froch beat him far clearer. What were Abrahams big wins? Taylor coming off a loss?
From what i can remember Dirrell won almost every rounds and dropped him. Suspicious ending but ill give him the benefit of the doubt here.
Lets not speculate. I have brought up Toneys SMW resumes and speculation to think Toney beats anyone. Look at some of the fighterss Toney lost to or who fought him to close fights etc
I dont care what Boxing News or the Ring said.. I saw the fight and Dirrell won by a wide margin.. THere is no way im counting that as a loss, Judges might have denied being the better man, but im not going against my better judgement. Froch never dropped Abraham... I count the Abraham as a good win since he was undefeated and looked good against Taylor,beat him more convincingly than anyone has.
Because Dirrell beat 2 elite SM(Froch(robbed) and Abraham (at the time) Ward dominated Kessler who at the time was favored to win the super 6, Kessler also dominated Andrade and beat Froch after he loss to Ward to prove he wasnt damaged goods.. Who is Butes best opponent,a guy who arguably should have got the first fight with Bute. Bute looked great in the rematch but hes been fighting soft opposition.
