    He was challenged by Abraham who is not an elite boxer, and Froch whom he stumbled around the ring and completely avoided physical contact with.

    Sure he outboxed Froch who is a pretty good boxer..


    Wouldn't call it "stepping up against top fighters". Calzaghe on the other hand holds wins over elite opponents.

    No he doesn't. You're genuinely a moron if you think Dirrell is more skilled.

    Dirrell would beat the coke out of Slappy and send him running back to his London drug dealer.

    Ward would kick Salppy's ass so bad, Joe would switch from Coke to Heroin.

    dirrell would last 12 rounds and win a decision. calzaghe stayed away from southpaws in his career. there's probably a good reason for it.

    Joe easily. WAY FASTER than Direlll. Direll is slow in comparison hand speed wise, and if he doesn't have that advantage, lights out.

    Dirrell ain't a joke.

    Soon you will all see. Andre Dirrell is the most naturally talented at 168 and soon he will be top 10 p4p. Out of all the current SMW he gives Joe the most trouble.

    Clinching is legal. Infact its been a favorite past time of British fighters ala Ricky Hatton. Body slamming your opponent because you're being outclassed as Froch was in the 2nd round is not.
    Your an idiot then who believes a boxer would fake a KO. If not a nuthugger then a prime ******.
    Dirrell was winning the round he was illegally KO'd. Boy Dirrell must be a genius to figure out a plan to fake a KO in the 2 seconds between the time Abraham hit him and the time he hit the ground.
    How is it a big set back? Wards not a big puncher. The fight would be competitive, and its the most lucrative fight out there right now. How exactly would it be big set back. A few more bum fights and he's back in contention. Hell he would probably get a fight with Bute because Bute would see it as a great opportunity beating a guy Ward beat.
    Actually the symptoms Dirrell claim are exactly in line with what a concussion is. A concussion can be immediate, or the systems can take days to develop afterwards. A question, are you a doctor?
    You just want to see one of the Americans defeat one another because they've been dominating these inferior Euroboys like they were nothing. Sorry Ward is going to kick Froch's ass long before him and Dirrell meet in the ring.

    Exactly one victory over an elite opponent. A controversial one where he looked terrible in.

    Yes because Hopkins was trying to box and not spoil right?

    Calzaghe beats Dirrell and Ward. Only you're infatuated with Dirrell and thepresident feels racially inferior so backs any black fighter he can over whitey so you don't see it.

    If Froch could chase down Dirrell do you really think Calzaghe couldn't? And Calzaghe bettered Hopkins when infighting so everytime Dirrel clinched he'd be raped.

    And Ward? Joe would feign him to death and he would wilt under the workrate. ****, Bika beat him silly and for at least 11 of the 12 roudns they fought any round could have just as easily been given to Bika but wasn't because Ward is the golden child.

    Hopkin was boxing you dumbass. Maybe being a fan of Hatton and Cokezaghe you forgot what an elite boxer looks like when he's trying to nuetralize an opponent who relies on workrate and not skill like CokeZaghe.

    It was brilliant. If he had been just a little more active per round it would have been one of the biggest upsets of the last 5 years. Nobody expected Hopkins to even be competitive.

    I actually think Calzaghe beats Dirrell. His workrate, technique and adaptability would see him through.

    Oops fail ******. :lol:

    Doesnt stop his resume from being absolutely ****. :rofl


    Froch couldnt catch Dirrell. Froch landed 2-3 power punches the entire fight. Dirrell made him look like a novice. Infact Dirrell made Froch look so bad it took till the Abraham fight for people to actually give him credit as a boxer.

    Slappy Joes couldnt feint Bernard Hopkins. How would he do against a younger stronger version of him?

    You do realize Slappy Joe is retired and that the only thing he will be exposing is his pecker in public during his next coked out episode. :lol:

    Dumbass.
