and as far as abraham being more skilled. Yes Dirrell is more of a pure boxer and throwback fighter. He is very skilled but Abraham gets the edge in my book.
Why? because you will see that Dirrell will have most of his punches block, Abraham will watch for mistakes and then get him out with explosive (well placed) punches. Abraham will time him and throw the right punches at the right time and even cut the ring of (something Froch couldn't do) when Dirrell goes into retreat mode.
This is why I say Abraham is the more skilled guy. Dirrell connect % will be terrible and he will get dominated. If he was more "Skilled" then that wouldn't happen because Andre would find a way to overcome what Aurther brings to the table....but he won't
Right now....Pacquiao is by far more skilled that Marquez and that's me being unbiased. When they fought in 08....Marquez was the more skilled guy but now its pac...which is also why I don't wanna see a third fight because Pac gets him outta there before 5-6 rounds.
I just dont want to see third fight at 147. Its an unfair fight, at 135 whole different ball game. I wont know how skilled Pac is until he fights Mayweather because since JMM he hasnt fought a guy like that and most think JMM won the second fight. This fall we'll find out.

Honsetly all I see from Arthur is covering up, wait for your opponent to stop, then BOOM haymakers. Im a big fan of AA. But Dirrell is more skilled then him IMO.
Styles makes fights though. Marg isnt more skilled then Cotto but he owned him though. With AA-Dirrell I'll be at that fight BTW. AA's only chance is a punchers chance.
Dirrell will dart in and out on him the whole night. He will counter when AA lets his hands go and make him pay.
AA is too stationary hes flat footed and stays in shell way to long. Dirrell is lighting fast and will catch AA often in this fight. Dirrell also has a 4 inch height and reach advantage. He also might be bigger then AA. Dirrell is a pretty big dude.

Well we will see. I got Abraham steamrolling this guy. Also just because he fights like that doesn't mean he isn't very skilled. Winky fought like that for the longest and every one was praising him because he was an american and was beating top guys with that style. I feel people see Abraham as a European and just throw those stereotypical labels on him to discredit him as a fighter. I'm loving it because he is gonna steamroll through this tourney (althought I will say him and ward is a toss up fight).

So your reasons for Dirrell beating Abraham are that he's much taller, longer reach, much quicker, etc?
Skilled boxers with the physical abilities of Dirrell do not lose to Carl Froch. Ever.
You had a decent argument going against Pac not being that skilled, till you brought up Dirrell.
