Comments Thread For: Anthony Dirrell Returns July 27 Against Hanshaw on TV

Ahhh I think the title said ANTHONY DIRRELL not ANDRE I suggest to do some research before you put comments buddy..... Not the sharpest knife in the drawer....

Yeah, Nuthuggery isn't too bright. Plus he loves to hate on African-American fighters.

This guy is still clinging on to relevancy?

He's pretty much been exposed since Froch and GGG schooled him

Not only is this about Anthony and not Andre, but Andre fought GGG as an amateur and it was a decent fight. He fought well against Froch too.

Lol first Andre knocked Hanshaw out and now Anthony will. I actually think Anthony is the better fighter. Dude can switch from left to right, has a lethal combo of speed/power and has every punch in the book, definitely someone to look out for. His only problem has been health issues or accidents. First cancer and then the motor cycle accident. He should have BEEN champion by now.

They are both insanely talented. I agree with your assessment of Anthony's skills, but I don't know if he would have been champion by now simply because the division is so stacked. There are a lot of talented up and coming guys out there- Edwin Rodriguez, George Groves, James DeGale. I hate to say it, but Anthony might be the ONLY fighter left in that family. I wish Andre just came out and said that he didn't really like being a professional fighter. I would completely respect that. It's not a lifestyle that is conducive to long-term health or happiness.

Andre has serious mental issues -- I think he actually gave up boxing when he had to face his old friend Andre Ward in the Super Six tournament.
Anthony's career was strongly shaken by highly adverse health circumstances...
