    This guy is very talented, very skilled, and great to watch.

    He seems to get a lot of hate on this forum for no reason. His career has slowed down (promotion issues?) but he can still become Champ. It's really sad how he was robbed against Froch, but he more than proved he can hang with the best.

    I'd like to see him vs. Dawson.

    He doesn't do himself any favors. He had a great opportunity to be Froch's mandatory but ducked an eliminator fight with Stevenson. Real shame.

    I think he's due for something big, however.

    The moment he's committed again to display his talent in meaningful fights, he'll get his due credit.

    Great to watch? The Froch and Stevens fights beg to differ.

    Agreed. That acting job against Abraham was far better than any of the Oscar winners that year.

    Aside from the horrendous refereeing and the robbery, I enjoyed the Froch fight.

    Dirrell has great counters.

    Credit for what exactly? Being in a couple decent fights? Dude needs to be active, and WIN. Otherwise, he's just 'there'.

    You enjoyed seeing Dirrell flop around on the floor like a dog with a broken back?

    Only 1 good win
    Never been champion
    His biggest claim to fame is a debatable decision against Froch..

    He is/was a great talent, but it is going down the sink.. He has done next to nothing
