I agree he does have a the skill set to beat Ward, but let's see how his next fight goes then we can talk about a possible fight with Andre Ward.

    With that being said with Froch, Bute, Kessler etc. being busy, i would say Bika, Andrade, Magee.
    Actually, Dirrell had many believers up until the Abraham fight when people started getting off the bandwagon, callin him a faker etc etc..

    Nobody said he's going to beat Ward right now. He still needs some fights to shake off the rust but like you said, he has the skills to beat Ward..

    Bika is a fair matchup but guys like Andrade and MAgee are recycled stepping stones at this point and they are not going to teach Dirrell anything. It's a waste of time..

    True, the same could be said for Bika as well.

    On aside note who thinks Magee vs Andrade would be fun to watch

    He could always go into acting. He's quite good at that.

    I disagree. Bika has only truly lost to Calzaghe, Ward, and Bute. He is a tough customer for anyone. He is the ideal opponent for Dirrell. We'll see what kind of shape Dirrell's handlers believe he is in with the next opponent they choose. If they believe he is primed for a breakout, then Bika is a perfect opponent for the start of his run. They may believe he needs a few more fights before he is ready for someone like Bika. Andrade is done at this point. Bute ruined him it appears. Magee isn't a horrible idea, but Bika is better. Magee versus Andrade would be great undercard bout.

    First he should chase Bute
    If that don't happen, call out Martinez and expose that low left hand with his great hand speed. If Martinez was willing to make a catch weight fight against Ward, Dirrell should be possible too.
    Last option but will not happen. Jcc Jr. Dude weight more then Dirrell on fight night.

    I think first he should chase Ward given the criticism, fair or not, some people had that he dodged Ward in the past. Additionally, Ward is number one in the division and Bute is number two. Martinez isn't moving up in weight. Chavez Jr. won't fight Martinez, a middleweight, so I don't see him jumping up in weight to face Andre Dirrell.
