So I guess if Froch Vacates,it's Degale vs Dirrell

Andre Dirrell is America's most hated fighter

Andre Dirrell has turned off American fight fans and is America's most hated fighter. Snubbing and trying to control the Super 6 by refusing to fight Ward. Taking a crying whimpering sobbing KO disqualification from Arthur as a win then sitting out for 3 1/2 years saying Dirrell had a 3 year headache. Losing to froch then complaining about the loss. Dirrell has imploded his career and cannot sell a ticket any where. There is no fan base for either Dirrell. Andre might as well hand up the gloves and take something for the headache Dirrell gives fight fans who despise Dirrell.

Froch will never take the rematch. He knows he lost the first fight.

[PittyPat]

I'm no fan of Andre (though I think he clearly beat Froch), but he would make DeGale look like an utter chump.

Dirrell will 'slip' to the canvas the moment he feels pressure.

Haymons at it again. Movin dirrell into a title fight without even making him fight someone credible. Biosse and brinson??? Now Edwards do me a favour. Korobov stopped this guy at MW.

Brinson was rocking Dirrell the round before he got caught. Snapped his head back a time or two. Dirrell is boring crapola to watch. Way too safety first boxer.

Nah, Froch won a close fight. It's difficult to call because the clash of styles was terrible to watch. Dirrell could easily beat Froch 2nd time 'round though... now that Ward has shown how to do it.

Where has Dirrel been?

Can't wait for him to get back in the mix.
