Sorry.... sorry.... sorry.... but......

here is one out of the dozen threads made every day hyping up dirrel; http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=313019 dude... all they said he might be a great prospect... that doesn't mean he's gonna clean out super MW....

Am I the only one in here wondering what the f**k all the hype is surrounding Dirrell? I've now watched about 5-6 of his last few fights now over and over. Am I watching the same Dirrell as you lot?? because fook me, I haven't seen anything special. The kids got speed....doesn't hit hard....and a suspect chin. Previously I would have said he will go the distance with Froch, now my only prediction is that when Froch tags him mid/late rounds it's goodnight Vienna. Exactly :fing02:

I think he's way to green for this tourney, if he gets past Froch I'll give credit where it's due.

Previously I would have said he will go the distance with Froch, now my only prediction is that when Froch tags him mid/late rounds it's goodnight Vienna. Pretty much, therefore no hype. He's still learning but he's not going very far because of his lackof power. You only get away with no power if you have Calderon or Mayweather type of skills...

what hype are you talking about? the only reason why people say he might be able to beat froch is because froch is slower than a turtle. Eh..have you been living under a rock since this tourney was announced? ;) read the million and one threads and youtube videos. I was expecting to see the new Roy Jones, all i got was "eh...okay maybe this isn't one of his better fights"

Way too soon for him to be in this tourney.

Dirrell is the best prospect since a young Ali. He should be showered with your attention and love at all times. Hahah how many times have we heard this? wasn't Jeff Lacy the new Mike Tyson? Amir Khan hype until he got KTFO by a market boy.

Dirrell makes a lot of fundamental/technical errors (offensively and defensively). He’s a great athlete, probably tops in this tournament as far as pure athleticism and speed go, but there’s so many questions about him that have yet to be answered. If he does very well in this tournament, it’ll mean he’s improved as a fighter because the version who fought Oganov and Findley shouldn’t be favored over any of the other five, IMO. Chin may be awfully shaky, too.

Dirrell got skills but does nothin for me.
