I thought they wanted to fight during the S6 http://www.thesweetscience.com/columnists/joe-rein/11616-ward-reiterates-i-wanted-to-fight-dirrell
Andre Dirrel was talking about fighting Ward and had been for some time but he keeps saying both have to be champs which doesn't look like it is going to happen for Dirrel. Anthony Dirrel wanted to fight Ward and award wouldn't fight him and was stripped for it. Ward said no one wanted to see the fight but thought people wanted to see him fight Rodriguez. Anthony wanted Ward bad and kept calling him out this whole were brothers thing only comes from Ward. After seeing what Bdou Jack did though I'm pretty sure Ward would beat him decisively.
CST80 is one of the few posters who says great things about little-known up-and-coming boxers. He's far from a trash-talker. In the case of the Dirrells, he's just saying what he sees: they are boring cherrypickers.
The difference is that Dirrell vs Froch was a very close fight while Macklin was clearly robbed vs Sturm
Would be another good name to have on Ward's great resume already...I'd love to see the fight as both are great boxers and I love watching both. I doubt the fight will happen unless Dirrell gets his rematch. Once Ward is back at it and gets the Smith fight done, he should be fighting nobody but world champs as anything else is a waste of his time and talent
I think it would be a good match up in that providing Dirrell can get himself back together after the Degale defeat, think he could possibly outbox Ward
