    Has Andre's camp said why they can't give proof of Andre's injury from his doc?

    No he hasn't the mindset.
    Copped out against AA and the same again from his friend AW with his mysterious Doctor

    I think his younger brother has more potential at this point.:good

    But at this point he needs to either **** or get off the pot in this heavily talent stacked division if he's ever going to do anything.

    not sure about more potential, but Anthony is way more entertaining & comes to fight.

    Both bros are great boxers but Dirrell is clearly the more polished one.

    Doesn't matter. All he's got to do is win from now on. No matter how.

    Doesn't matter what someone else thinks.

    Learn form Ward!

    He already has the mindset to kick the top Euro Level's ass, (Froch, Abraham). They have to go dirty or get judging help. Dirrell is probaly the best at 168 and I'd love to see him live up to his full potential and clean up.

    No. and he's not all that talented. He's just very quick. No game plan,
    no heart, no fight, bad ring generalship, and he cannot fight on the inside
    any better than a Wlad klitschko. He's not even a world class fighter IMO,
    and would get knocked out by a fighter who could come close to matching
    his speed with some pop. i.e. Bute. Froch beat him fair and square and would so again 100 times in a row, as would Ward, Kessler, and Pavlik.

    He has the skills, but clearly lacks the mindset.
    This guy will probably never be a great boxer due to that, he will choke by the first sign of adversity and afterwards make excuses only a current "Michigan" fighter can.

    Worst thing about the guy is that he doesn't give a sh#t what the fans think of him, as long as he gets "paid like a mother for it".

    Really? I don't know about that. I think Dirrell is more polished. Dirrell is good, but he's got nothing on Dirrell! :lol:

    No..............fall down on canvas, complain, hold, run and duck out of the Ward fight, etc.........fake a back problem to get fight in his home turf, fake being hurt in fight, etc............

    Both of their names start with A, you fool!

    I think An. Dirrell has better potential though.
