    two completely different fighters, and dirrell's situation is completely different than Lacy's
    The only difference is dirrells being compared to a prime Roy Jones and Ali rather than Tyson but both fighters were unpoven and prospects being compared to ATG fighters by americans. The situation is EXACTLY the same.

        larryx speaks for us all?

        That's like me saying all Brits agree with Slimshandy when he says Froch will be an ATG.

          Yall forgetting Taylor, a washed up Taylor almost beat Froch If he would have got on his bike the last round.

          Froch is fighting a fresh Dirrell unlike Taylor, a Boxer, Froch is in for a shock!

          AA beats the ish out of Taylor, just watch!

              You better hope he's not another Lacy then.

                Froch doesn't have the style to lock an opponent out of a fight, the way Calzaghe did against Lacy.
                Froch gives and takes.

                  I doubt it. If Dirrell gets hit clean a couple times he'll drop he wont take the accumulation of punishment like Lacy did

                    I hope you're right, I don't want to see Dirrell take unnecessary punishment.
