    I love his style, but he has NO defence.

    Dirrell is open to imo, not as much as Froch but still open.

      We are hyping Froch? Froch has proved himself, Dirrell hasn't. Until the fight has started Froch should be considered the favourite. But as you said, anything can happen. Dirrell has the talent, but without any fights to date with top opponents, talent is all he has.

        Froch will get punished too, his chin is incredible though. We saw that against Pascal. I think Froch will win, but I'm saying everything can happen if he isn't able to develop his defence.

          I'm not saying Dirrell has proved himself, on a worldclass level yet. But what I'm saying is that anything can happen if it's the Froch we've seen before who shows up. Froch is going to lose the second he meets a good defence. He'll lose too many rounds on having no defence himself.

                Most talented or more skilled ?

                More skilled fighter does not always win.

                    He's very good despite not beating world class competition yet, he's undefeated so he's doing something right. I predict he will win the SMW tournament.

                      I pick Froch to win this tourney, but thats just a gut feeling. It is packed with talent and it might not neccesarily turn out that one of the proven guys win it. Would have been nice if Danny Jacobs was in there, but I really cant complain, as this tourament can only be a good thing for boxing. Cant wait!
