    Dirrell's speed vs Froch's speed

    Where is this notion that Dirrells hand speed and skill is that much greater than Froch's? I have seen televised fights from the both of them and many different sports websites boxing writers, especially the four lettered network, keep on shoving down our throats that Froch is in trouble because Dirrell is SO much faster than Froch. I could't see much of a difference if there is one. Froch has faced the tougher competition and gone more total rounds and has the experience and power. Dirrell may be a bit more slick than Froch but that's like saying a tank is more agile than a bulldozer. Comment and discuss

    comparing dirrel's and froch's speed is like comparing a space rocket to a go-kart.

    froch is slower than margarito.

      IMO Dirrell is much faster and more naturally gifted than Froch. Other than that, Froch has more experience, more power, and a better chin.

      On Defense I'd they say are about even.

        I hear ya and respect your opinion. Froch is a much naturally larger man and I think that may show up as slow hand speed. I dunno. I'm going to watch my DVR fights I have recorded of these two again before the fights on the 17th.

          Dirrell's speed is on another level comapred to Froch's.

          But that don't mean he will win.

            Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater or trying to hate on Dirrell. I ust get tired of the sports media juggernauts recycling each others material and wonder if they watch fights as close as true die hards like us.

              They do (I should hope so),and I think that Dirrell's skills are better, but Froch has the intangiables that can lead him to a win.

                  Hand speed is ridiculously uneven. Im not saying Froch wont get him, but Dirrell has super fast hands when he lets them go. Froch has proved himself to be a tough bastard though, so it should be good.
