        Probably the most skilled fighter in the Super Six tournament. Style wise he'd embarass Ward, Kessler and Taylor. But I think it was too early in his career for him to face these guys. He's still young, didn't have much of a career yet (the Froch fight was his first 12 round bout) and he still fights like he has a lot to learn. Give him a few years and he'd embarass everyone in this tournament in a one sided decision or late KO. I guarantee it (as long as Abraham doesn't destroy his chin and begin the shot phase, which is definitely possible).

          I wouldn't be upset if AA put him to sleep.

          At least give him a nice nap from all the running.

            I don't like Dirrell. He doesn't show up to fight. Runs too much, tries to steal a belt instead of fighting for it. Being slick and a great boxer is fine avoiding action at all cause is not.

              Dirrell is fast and elusive, is an excellent counter puncher, knows how to use his heaght and reach, yet seems to lack confidence in his power and ability to stand toe to toe. If he had the same confidence that Froch walks around with he would be a force (not that he isnt one already) to be reckoned with @ SMW.

                maybe if he walks with his **** out like crotch he will also get tons of gift decisions.

                  i think Dirrell will improve, but Ward clearly has the mentality of a champion. Dirrell does not. He can beat Kessler and Froch in a rematch. Abraham is on another level as well. the fight between Ward and Abraham will be the one to watch.

                      I think most people agree that Dirrell will outpoint AA while the fight lasts. They just don't think it will last.
