    I'd say Hanshaw, who at least gave RJJ a toughish fight and made him work for the win. Oganov has nothing of note but a great KO record in the pro's & amateurs.

    I would say Oganov... I am aware that Henshaw is the all around better boxer, but I think Oganov would catch him with his money punch in a fight between the 2

    I think it was against Stevens because he was making his HBO debut and people were expecting him to be some type of beast but he stuck to the gameplan, did not get phased out by the booing of the crowd and he boxed beautifully and completely shut the heavy handed powerful guy out of the fight.

    He demoted Stevens to throwing 2 punches at a time and Dirrell bossed the fight.

    Hanshaw was a good fight and his speed and counter punching told the story of this fight.

    That fight proved to me that if you havent got speed your going to ge hit against Dirrell as he will find you because of his laserfast handspeed and he does have good accuracy.

    Oganov was also demoted to defensive mode and was coming forward and just eating shot after shot, He was on his way to being knocked out if the ref never stopped that onslaught as he had been caught by a big punch which made him sag against the ropes then the ref stepped in. Dirrell has shown flashes of what he could do if he was tested and we will get to see him shine.

    I'm rolling with Hanshaw now too. In the past I said Oganov, but I recently watched Dirrell/Hanshaw and it's clear to me that Hanshaw is the better fighter.

    Man, no offence but that was an awful fight. If there were more fights like that no-one would watch boxing. It wasn't a Sugar-Ray Leonard type exhibition of skills, power, art, speed, defence and showboating. It was more like a sprint with a few punches thrown in. BTW I thought Hanshaw was the best fight. Oganov looked too small, lacking in power and mediocre to be credible.

    Hanshaw is a respectable win but Oganov nothing more that a C lever fighter at best.

    Surviving Hanshaw's initial bumrush and putting hands on him > turning Oganov over and over

    Only watched the Paschall fight the other day. That cut on his forehead was awful.

    Sugar Ray Leonard? Dirrell doesn't have to be Sugar Ray or even Splenda Ray to beat the likes of Froch. All he has to do is use his superior skills and follow a game plan.
