    Dirrell has no balls. GGG already faced him in a format that highly favors Dirrell's front running style and went 1-1. Dirrell isn't winning more than 4 rounds in a pro fight against GGG and that's being generous.

      Just imagine that Dirrell had Froch's mental toughness.

      Now that would be something else. Unfortunately he doesn't. GGG knocks him clean out after round 8 once Dirrell has done with his hugging & running and feels GGG's power

        Dirrell has skills that Golovkin has yet to encounter in the pros. He's more talented than all of GGG's opponents combined.

          Dirrell is a good fighter. I always wondered why Ward vs Dirrell never happened. I believe Dirrell could give Ward his toughest fight to date.

          As for Dirrell vs Golovkin, that fight could happen when and if Golovkin decides to move up. I think he should do so sooner than later while he isn't too old. Apart from Quillin, who doesn't seem to want to fight him, there isn't much left for Gennady at 168.

            Talent alone means little. His chin is on par with the brittle chins GGG has been busting up, and his mental toughness is below the level GGG has faced.

              He's never been knocked out so I don't know where you get that about his chin. He actually has defence unlike the guys Golovkin has been facing

                Yeah too bad we don't get to see him run around the ring for 12 rounds against GGG.

                Just awful!

                  Dirrell would probably do well and be winning after 6 until he starts folding and going into "deer in the headlights" mode.

                    Still the most talented man at 168 Dirrell is IMO, lets how the layoffs are done with and he gets his career rolling. I know him and Ward made some type of Pact to never fight each other but Dirrell IMO is the only guy I think that can possibly not only give Ward a fight at 168 but maybe even beat him if he can get back to his old form

                    And I don't think the Abraham thing was "FAKE" or him "ACTING" at all not looking at the way his career has gone after that fight

                      He goes down extremely easily even when not hit flush. Like his legs get weak from mental breakdown alone. Lol if you think that kind of fighter could go late rounds with Golovkin.
