Before the DeGale fight he was a solid top 5, or perhaps top 3, if we consider Ward off the charts at that point. It was only Abraham who clearly outranked him.
again, for all those people who rate him #5, #3, #2 or whatever...name me one solid win in his resume, i can't find any.
You can always provide your own ranking and make a case about the fighters who you think outranks Dirrell and whom they have beaten. Suggesting he was never top 10 is outright ridiculous. I'm no fan of his by any means, I can't even say I enjoy watching him, but credit is where it's due.
DeGale sucked his soul out of his ass with a straw. He don't want no part of another 6tf + slick southpaw. :deal
don't even go there. he was rocked hard, on the way of getting ktfo and he saw a way out of there. that wasn't a solid win, it was a bad acting exposing his glass chin and glass heart. and he should get some acting lessons, a gay porn actor would had fake it better, it was plain disgraceful
