More skilled former Olympian: Andre Dirrell or Amir Khan

:good


They're similar. Khan has much more heart but both have poor footwork, very limited punching technique(I think Dirrell is better with single shots), and rely too much on athleticism. Both very amateurish styles and I would not advice someone who's trying to become a better boxer to study those two.

 

Roy was more skilled than Hopkins though.

 

Disagree. IMO Roy was more talented than Hopkins. Hopkins is and was more skilled. He just didn't have the talent of reflexes and speed that Jones had. It is more evident today as Hopkins is probably even now slower than Roy, yet Roy is the one being embarrased and every win is an achievement now. Especially considering Roy is younger than Hopkins.

 

Dirrell is more skilled. But khan has tons more heart to dig through when it gets rough.

Dirrell seems to give up. Don't want to say glass hearted or quitter, but he seems to break down easier when it get tough.

 

Who's got silver ? Who's got bronze?

Nuff said thread closed.

 

Dirrell is more skilled and more complete.

 

Non question from a non entity.

Direll is skilled at boxing in the same way a frightened dolphin is skilled at triathlon.

Boxing has no place for cowards. Direll is as cowardly as they come.
