    DM performed at CW, and won a belt as well, so how would he had done against one of the divisions best fighters ever?

    Jirov i think is naturally bigger.

    Would have been a total WAR with someone going out no question.

    DM wouldn't have been able to trade pressure with Jirov for very long.

    He didnt know how to fight any other way than with his own pressure.

    Would be a brutal fight.

    1" height advantage and 4" reach advantage for Jirov not including the natural weight difference.

    Would be a size mismatch.

    Jirov has the physical advantage, but mismatch? I think DM is a typical case of a great fighter who was underestimated because he fought in Europe. He dominated the two fighters who beat Toney at LHW and beat a very good Hill clearly. DM in his prime was as relentless as Calzaghe. Jirov would need his size advantage to neutralize DM's greater toughness. it would be a great fight, I see it 50:50.

    Jirov applies so much pressure that Darius passes out

    I remember wanting this fight to happen, but I think it's clear that Jirov would have been a big favorite and probably would have won going way.

    Jirov mid-late TKO. Would have been fun while it lasted.
