    Because nobody would pay to see it?

    Dirrell-Ward is the fight I want to see. It should've happend in the S6 but we know what 'happend' there.

          Id be interested in an Abraham return because I think theres unfinished business there given the ending. Not fussed about a Froch rematch though cuz the fight was poor and not entertaining so why suffer it again?

          Dirrel has great speed, athleticism, power, boxing ability but his mentality seems to be lacking and without that Im not sure he will ever fulfill his potential of his physical skills.

            The Abraham-Stieglitz winner would be a good fight for November.

            The British fans want no part of a Froch-Dirrell rematch, because though it was ugly, Dirrell was straight robbed in that fight.

              Would that be too quick a turn around? I mentioned a possible unification fight between the winner of that fight against Froch in November.

                That may be the only problem. Wouldn't mind seeing Dirrell fight Sakio Bika in November either.

                  ? true, because mainly because it was a very boring "boxing" match - loose description given the farce it turned out to be (last 3 rounds aside).

                  Names like Kessler, Pavlik and even Oosthuizen hold more appeal because you're almost guaranteed an entertaining fight.

                  Regarding Dirrell, he's talking about these names but he's going to have to travel to secure them, the champs like Ward, Froch (and Abraham/Stieglitz) aren't going to head to Dirrell's backyard.

                    I'm just saying you'd think they'd want Froch to avenge what appeared to be a loss.

                      I guess I am in the minority because I don't think Dirrell has what it takes to be the best at 168 regardless of who manages him. I like his brother better. We'll see if 50 gets him a tittle shot in November and if he can win.
