dirrel is a good prospect but they should hold off and bring him more slowly like they are doing with ward. or he might end up getting a lacy type beating by the elite at 168. but he definalty has promise. Oganov is no 168 LBER and is very small compared to the other 168lb fighters. so far he has only beaten club level fighter. other then hanshaw who lost to RJJ . he really hasn't beaten anyone of note and hanshw wasn't even top 25 at the time.
Depends on his dedication. He can be a champion in a weak division. If Jeff Lacy was able to run through and grab almost all the belts then it is possible in a historically pathetic division.
If he continues to fight midget bums like Oganov, it's possible he could make his way up. If he fights a solid technician who understands how to capitalize on the plethora of mistakes he makes constantly, he'll be waking up to the smell of amonia pretty soon.
He will lose badly the first time he faces a top super middle. e.g., Kessler, Bute, Froch, Inkin, etc. As long as these guys are around, he has no chance of being a legitimate world champ.
Its funny that none of those guys you just mentioned have a solid resume to stand on to claim thise TOP level. Not one of them. Literally.
wrong if they slow down on him to give him time to make the changes and correct his mistakes he would be a formidable challenger. however i don't see SHAW doing this he's always has been in love with power puncher and pushes them to fast to soon. in his next fight he may fight inkin. i would make him the under dog but would not write him off.
He is short not small, in fact he has fought as a cruiser..Plus every top supermiddle is short then the 6'3" Dirrell, and none can match his handspeed, except maybe Mundine, but he is a no factor at this point. Dirrell isnt ready to face top 5 guys yet, but once he is, he will cut thought them like a hot knife though butter. Dirrell vs Ward 2010 king of the hill
there resume are alot better then direll . kessler although he lost to JOE. he has beaten mundine 2x , beyer, andrade, those are all beter fighters then direll at the moment. lucine bute also he was ko'd by andrade. would certaily be favored over direll and has a better reume. as he has tech beat andre,berrio,joppy(a shot name but still aname) why don't you get off the black fighter **** socket express and give other fighters there due:good :yep
