    Its not that long since Dirrell beat Froch in England. What does it say about both of them how their careers have panned out since?​

    85% of people would have expected the reverse trend of their career.

    That's not really the reality of that night though, Dirrell beat him and put Froch on ***** street as well.

    Goes to show physical talent only gets you so far.

    You need that drive and that mental edge.

    Definitely, I thought the same, Froch is so limited as Dirrell, Taylor, and Ward proved.

    You cant run away like a ***** then expect to win a championship.

    Froch has been willing to give it a go and got what he deserved.. while Dirrell is still on the sick, he has skills but just has zero heart.

    Did direll get into drama class yet? or is he still hanging round hospital waiting rooms faking neurological disorders and crying like a ***** with a grazed knee?

    They couldnt be more opposite

    Dirrell - supremely talented, glass heart, tiny marbles, a disgrace
    Froch - limited ability, huge heart, huge self belief, tough as nails, massive balls, a mans man

    So happy Froch has made it to the top, and he's done it the right way - repeatedly fighting the best and giving his all

    How much of a threat would a mentally turned on Andre Dirrell be for Andre "Injury prone" Ward?

    That'd be a hell of a matchup if Andre Dirrell had the mentality.

    Andre Direll is a ****ing disgrace. Never want to see him come back.

    Carl Froch is a damn warrior and accomplishes everything with his limited skills. The guy is severely underrated on these boards.
