    He's not the most mentally tough fighter out there that's for damn sure.

    Its a shame how its all gone for Dirrell. On the way up he was fighting good competition for a prospect, then he lost to Froch and thats it really. Its like he panicked against Froch and held for the most part, costing himself the fight.
    I think Dirrell should forget about looking for a Froch rematch, he hasnt earnt it and Froch is getting older now.
    I think Dirrell needed to fight someone like Stevenson to be taken seriously again.

    Is Stevenson any good? I would have thought it was the ideal fight for Dirrell to get his name back out there.

    I guess AA ****ed Dirrell good and proper.

    How about Dirrell vs Pavlik, loser retires. And the winner get a date on FNFs...

    Didn't he leave Shaw to do his own thing? One would think this is would have been a golden opportunity for him to get his career back on track. :think

    Dirrell has been a massive disappointment. So much talent, but he's lazy. How is he out of shape?

    I don't know what he thinks is going to happen just waiting around. Out of sight, out of mind, and he's already burned bridges with the networks.

    So much talent, so little action. I honestly thought the guy would have completely scalped Stevenson, become the IBF mandatory and made things VERY interesting with a Froch fight. Surely that's what he wants: a, a title shot and b, a rematch with Froch. What the serious **** is he playing at?

    Andre is wasting a promising career away.
    (Abraham must have severely damaged him mentally)

    I thought he left Shaw as well. Either way he's messing up bigtime. You only get so many chances

    I remember, about a month and a half ago, when IBF started asking fighters if they wanted to fight Stevenson to become mandatory, GYM publicly said that they wish it would come down to #11 (or #12 I don't remember and it is not important) which was... guess who? well Dirrel. They said they wanted to fight him. So if he had any brain left, at least a second cell (one extra after the one he uses for breathing), he would've start slowly to prepare in case of... Guess what? well maybe a fight.

    Doesnt matter anyways we all know Froch would run from another fight with Dirrell since Dirrell tap that ass the first time. Froch will never fight another slick american.
