    Froch wants no part of Dirrell. He barely escaped with his belt infront of his home fans without landing a significant punch and being rocked multiple times and wobbled.

    Dirrell is not a high level fighter, though. What has he done of note?

    Maybe he has fanboys that think he has good skills but he exactly doesn't have time to sit around and **** about, get out of shape while picking and choosing your fights with the way he's been acting.

    Dirrel had more then one month. GYM said way back then that they hoped for that match up.

    What's ridiculous is his inactivity. If he is going to get a title shot he needs to be putting his name out there and taking fights, no I am not saying he should be taking a fight on a months notice but does anyone know if he plans on fighting anyone else soon?

    Dirrell is terrified of getting punched hard in the face, its that simple. Not a born fighter

    The guy has all the skills, just lacks the heart of a champion.

    Even when he does finally come back it'll only be a matter of time before his mind fractures and he'll be out again.

    Waste of talent.

    If Dirrell wants his shot earn it. Today he's practically irrelevant.

    It's an easy bet when the one slick American who's in a perfect position to become his mandatory doesn't take the fight. :rofl

    You'd think he'd want to do everything to avenge that fight and set the record straight as far as who the better man is. Instead, he's happy being the champ at the negotiating table just like Winky was. Who needs to actually fight and make money when you can just keep turning down fights and act like that counts for something? :lol:

    1 fight in 2 years just isn't gonna cut it.
