    Personally, I think the majority of Froch fans could do without seeing him fight Ward, Bute or Dirrell again yet most are very keen to see him fight Kessler again.

    I think the main reason is the Kessler bout was a competitive foty candidate, while the other three were either not competitive, not entertaining or both.

    Down the line if Froch is offered enough money I can see him rematching Dirrell but imo AD will have to earn the fight and make it an attractive bout on paper for the fans.

      He has done nothing to earn a Froch fight. He has to work his way back up. He will get nothing served by the europeans.

          He has 50 and Floyd promoting him, he will get big fights for sure. He beat Abraham and was robbed vs Froch.......

            I can't be the only person that when they read TMT thinks....

              He had his chance against all three and he blew it. Against Froch he fought a horrible fight, giving the ugliest performance in boxing.

              In the Abraham fight he quit while he was ahead giving an awful acting performance to avoid getting caught in the final rounds.

              He didn't even show up for the Ward fight. He got his doctor to make him an excuse(neurological issues). We all know the excuse is bs because if he really had the neurological issues he claims to have he would never step in the ring again.

              That's 3 missed opportunities Dirrell had to prove himself, and those 3 fights were back to back. Now he wants to fight the same guys again. What a joke.

                This is the main part that confuses everyone. Why would you form Team Dirrell Promotions and then "Sign" to another Promotional company? Why would you drop Al Haymon but sign to a Promotional Company in which Al Haymon helps oversee?

                    Trust in Mayweather/50 Cent? 50 will end up snaking Dirrell imo. Purely in terms of their love of money, I can't think of two worse guys to sign with (well maybe Arum/King but it's not far off), they've already fought twice over money themselves.
