    That's the one thing I would like to see him develop, toughness. He needs to get more "junkyard dog" into his personality.
    You can't develop toughness, you either have it or you don't, and dirrell doesn't

    The reason he lost the froch fight (and yes, he did lose it) was because froch got into his head and fooled him into thinking he was the second coming of Julian Jackson, by the time dirrell figured out what froch was he'd spent 10 rounds looking like a coward and it was too late.

    Dirrell is probably the most talented guy at 168, even above ward, but what he lacks is courage, determination and a boxing brain.

    All things you can't teach, especially as he's almost 30 already

    He's going to have one of those careers when at times he looks amazing, but some calamity is never far away

        Thought Dirrell was dead 3 years ago

        Thought old Abraham killed Dirrell over 3 years ago with the punch? no career or money since old Abe finished Dirrell's nothin career. Good.

                  You guys just don't want to be reminded of the loss that Froch should have on his record.

                      What I don't want to be reminded is how negative he was that night, refusing to engage, hugging, running all over the place and falling down to the floor several times to avoid being caught.

                      He has talent, but he lacks the heart and attitude.
