    It does when we have seen guys like JMM get up after receiving the same type of punch from Barrera and just shook it off to go to war with him.

    Dirrell on the other hand realizes Abraham is starting to catch him and sees an opportunity to get the W and he takes it. That is why he will never be great.

    No sir, you noted the following:

    Dirrell landed more clean punches despite throwing less.

    Dirrell kept himself out of range frustrating froch and hurting him with counters.

    That's what boxing actually is.

    You do know that Haye was once widely considered to be one of the most entertaining fighters in the sport, right? He only had one fight at cruiserweight which went the distance, he was a one punch knockout artist and possibly the hardest P4P puncher in the sport and he had some awesome fights.

    Abraham is a much much harder puncher than Barrera...

    :rofl David Haye was a B level cruiserweight in a terrible cruiserweight era.



    As a Heavyweight he's 6'3 210-220. Which makes him pretty much the same size as a prime Ali and Holmes. Bigger then Tyson and Holyfield.



    You didnt see Holyfield diving in trying to suck Bowe's weeny. :rofl

    The difference is that mab doesn't hit as hard as aa does.

    Plus mab was rightly annoyed he didn't get a legitimate kd scored.

    Dirrell won 8 rounds against aa and was winning the 11th before aa bitched out.

    You are delusional.

    Here take a look at Floyd vs Hatton

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unPpMgZQdME[/ame]

    Notice the distance and notice the distance with Dirrel and Froch. Dirrell was standing so far he had to take a running leap to get his punch in. Also, when Hatton and Floyd got closed yeah, Floyd would quickly tie Hatton up but not the same extent where Dirrell was throwing both arms around Froch where not one exchange of punches were even thrown. This did not happen in Mayweather and Hatton fight. Comparing apples to oranges mate.

    Boxing is entertainment. Dirrell is not entertaining 'cos he is a coward and have a horrible style that stank the place out.

    You can big him up all you like on the internet. Good thing normal boxing fans don't see it that way.

    Umm Holyfield, De Leon, Qawi, Toney, Jirov? All 5 of these guys make Haye their *****.


    Its says alot when USS Cunningham becomes the best cruiserweight in the world after Haye moves up to Heavy, and in any other division even though I like him Cunningham barely scraps the top 10 in terms of skill.

    Round 1 a feel out round and round 10 where Mayweather is just setting up the knockout on a tired Hatton. :rofl



    There was no inside work in the Dirrell vs Froch fight, because every time ther was a clinch, either Froch would cry to the ref, or start rabbit punching Dirrell in the back of the head.


    This is one of the man reasons Froch is going to get tooled by Ward. He has no concept of inside fighting, and will only foul when Ward goes in for the clinch.

    You're just seeing what you want to see mate.

    Address what I said. My problem with Dirrell 'cos he was scared. Not because it was some grand plan of his. He was standing so far and had to run in and leap to throw punches all through the first 9 rounds.

    There was no inside work AT ALL because Dirrell dived, two arms hugging and gave Froch a blowjob. ****ing clinching, it was a two arms 'please don't hurt me' hugging to stop fighting.

    Mayweather clinched to then quickly set up his punches rather than hug the guy so hard in order for the fight to be stopped and then run away again.
