how long before Dirrell and Ward get title shots?

Dirrell is fighting this Saturday on Showtime. I'm excited. He's one of those guys you can get excited about because of his raw talents.

 

Yeah, I was really impressed by Dirrell last fight against Hanshaw: blistering speed. If that wasn't a fluke, and if he has focus, he could go a long way in the SMW division. The next couple of fights should determine where he stands. If he can dominate a top 10 fighter, I can't see him not getting a title shot.

 

I'm surprised Ward isn't at least battling for a minor title now, I mean Berto has one and that is by far a deeper division. Ward should either get down to MW and start campaigning there and take Abraham's trinket or he should start making moves at SMW, but he is stalling his career.

 

at this rate Gamboa will win a title before Ward does.

 

yeah but Berto won the WBC WW title, I would expect Ward to atleast be going or having one of the major belts at SMW.

 

I would think Ward would have fought Bute or Antony Mundine

 

I'd like to see Ward against Pascal. It would make for an entertaining fight, but also is one he could win.

I don't think he's ready for Taylor or Bute/Andrade yet.

 

Ward - Pascal would be a fun fight. Hard to see either camp taking that kind of a fight right now though for the money that would be offered.

If Dirrell can keep tapping the fire he brought out against Hanshaw, he gets a legitimate title years before Ward. It's a long way from Ravelo to wins over the top 10 at 168.

 

How long before Ward and Dirrell fight eachother? If they can both get to the mountain top, that would be an interesting story of 2 speedy 2004 olympic medalists squaring off, and it might well happen cuz they're ruffly the same age too.

Who would win? I personally haven't seen enough of them, especially of Dirrell, to make a call. Anyone who has?
