    You seem to forget he beat Abraham AFTER he fought Froch. He pulled out of the tounry then and has really never had a proper comeback since.

          I don't know what his problem is. Maybe there was some truth into that injury, hard to say. If he truly was having bad headaches, etc, I could understand losing passion for the sport in fear of permanent injury. But the whole injury thing seemed a bit fishy at the time, idk.

            I don't think his heart was in it in the first place. Against Froch and Abraham he appeared to have a stronger affinity with diving to the deck than duking it out on his feet.

            Talented sure, but he's had opportunities to come back and hasn't taken them.

              I don't agree with what you said. Direll fights with no heart. He uses his quick hands to land a punch or two and then grabs and holds which is illegal when done to excess and Direll does it to excess.Froch came to fight not to hold and wrestle. All Froch did was thy to get this octopus named Direll to let go of him so he could fight.I had Froch winning a close fight. Direll has skills but he does not like to get hit and does not have the heart and will to be a world class fighter.He is a cry baby and does not like it when the going gets tough.I believe he faked being unconscious in his fight with Abraham to get the DQ win. He might as well retire because he has not fought a decent fighter in years. His brother might win a title because he is much gamer than Andre and comes to fight. It takes more than just talent to be a champion. It takes will power, heart, toughness and determination and Andre comes up short in these qualities that Froch has in spades.
