Andre Dirrell is going to make mincemeat out of James Degale, and that's a fact.

    For once I agree. Froch couldn't hurt Dre once and Dre rocked him twice notably. DeGale hadn't got anything on Froch and therefore hasn't a chance against Dre

    :nono Lennox Lewis v Mike Tyson/ Evander Holyfield were bigger fights than Mayweather & Cortez in a handicap match v shot Hatton

    And 'Zaggers v Hopkins & Cortez in a handicap match was also a bigger fight than Froch v PED cheat Ward.

    Not even close in terms of historical significance. :rofl

    Floyd Mayweather vs Ricky Hatton

    Andre Ward vs Carl Froch

    Are historically significant. The fights you listed above = Not so much. :yep

    True, there is always that chance but I am really confident.

    Dirrell best performance was a defeat against Froch.
    I haven't been impressed with anything since and let's be honest Froch is not a riddle, tough as they come but hardly got to go looking for him and easy to hit.
    So Dirrell looked good against a fighter with virtually no defence and yet still lost.

    Lewis v Tyson was the biggest drawing heavyweight fight in history :nod

    'Zaggers v Hopkins saw 'Zaggers become the 1st man to capture two lineal/ Ring titles at the same time.

    Not even close. :lol:

    Britain has never had a #1 p4p fighter EVER!!! :deal

    Floyd Mayweather vs Ricky Hatton was for that prestigious title. :deal:deal

    Ward vs Froch was for #1 supremacy @ 168, for top 5 p4p status.

    1a vs 1b.

    Too important!!!!! ATG level wins!!!

    Lewis vs Tyson :rofl

    Zaggers vs Hopkins, meh, not close to the 2 wins I stated above!!! :deal

    Calzaghe was the real pound for pound number 1....a title which also currently belongs to The Special One.

    Let's not get too off topic.

    DeGale has a excellent chance at the weekend and if and when he wins I do not want to see these same U.S. Fans saying Dirrell was past it, shot or never that good anyway.

    That's the issue really, us Brits in general are a better quality of fan, we support our fighters through thick and thin and follow them.
    Mentioned above, Ricky Hatton, you tell me a U.S. Fighter that draws 40,000 at HOME let alone take them abroad like Hatton did?

    American fans are generally bandwagon jumpers, they jump on the back of another hype job, bang on about him for a few months, he gets beat, they come pile on a forum and shout "exposed" and jump on the next up and coming hype job.

    I'm going to play "God Save The Queen" brb

    British fans are very very nice, but a lot of them are extremely unmannered.

    Ala Hagler beer bottle incident, booing of other national anthems.

    It will be a great match, but Dirrells just better imo.

    Hagler, That was so long ago, was you born then? :lol:

    Hopefully you're right and it a good fight, and I'll make sure I'm on to either give you some stick or take my slaps like a champ :lol:

    I don't mind eating crow, it happens.

    I make my predictions public and I'll either gloat or be laughed at.

    That's how it is. :nod
