    Dirrell has so many physical gifts It's unreal, the guy could probably play any sport professionally and be amazing. Problem is he has very little heart in what he gets paid for which is boxing. I like the guy but he's going to waste his career.

    You forgot one crucial criteria. The kid lacks heart.

    It is like Fraudley. Iirrespective of physical poweress, if you are a born coward, ain't going to get far in boxing.

    on what basis?

    the fact he got back up against rojas and schooled him?
    the fact he recovered against hanshaw and destroyed him?
    the fact he turned it up a notch away to Froch in an evenly matched fight?
    the fact he put on an offensive masterclass against the p4p hardest puncher in boxing?

    Are you ****ing taking the ****? I just read this at the end of your post and you are trying to suggest a guy that ran around the ring and refuse to fight as having heart?

    What kind of drug are you on man? Are you Andre Dirrell? Doing a Khan with I have the best chin in boxing business?

    Joker. Get off the internet Andrea and quit boxing. Do something else like running.

    Man he gets a lot of hate. He beat Froch and exposed Abraha,. He is or at least was one of the best SMW.

    a lot of people blame dirrell for his overt defence in the first half of the froch fight, but blame also has to be placed on Froch's woeful aggression being completely unable to cut the ring off.

    anyways Andre has proved his heart plenty of times:

    whenever he's come up against adversity, he's conquered it: dropped early in his career, comes back to totally outbox his opponent; hurt badly by a shot, comes back to destroy his opponent; in a evenly matched fight with Carl Froch approaching the championship rounds, he turns up the heat and looks a class above; coming off a contentious defeat against the current p4p hardest puncher in boxing, he produces a magnificent offensive display.

    p.s. no i'm not dirrell, you fool.

    How many keyboard warriors calling Dirrell coward i bet you would not say that to him if he was in front of you, he did run to much against Froch but that doesnt mean froch can win without landing punches and missing by a meter. He is the most talented in super 6(with Ward) i hope he gets back, he gave AA boxing lesson and then we all know what happen.

    the idiots make me laugh when they question a professional boxers mentality.

    rounds 1-8 dirrell ran a lot, but froch did a **** poor job of hunting him down.

    rounds 9-12 andre schooled froch with good offensive display.

    :lol::lol::lol: why would he be my hero? that place is reserved for the great frank bruno :good

    but calling a professional boxer a whining coward seems strange. what jop do you do that requires as much bravery?

    You win a boxing match by throwing punches, Not running and falling to the floor . the best that Dirrell could have hoped for was a draw against Froch that night but with the well deserved point deduction, 115 - 113 Froch

    He's a boring fighter with no heart. He fights like a coward. I have no interest in seeing him fight again unless he somehow becomes more fan friendly which I doubt.


    Skills, which Dirrell has plenty of, mean nothing if you can't inspire emotion in the crowd.


    i wouldn't got to a Dirrell fight even if they gave me tickets as a gift.
