    Out of Froch and Dirrel who had the most convincing win?. I ask this because i keep seeing people say Dirrell schooled him better so wondering if thats the general view here.

    Dirrell. Epic display of boxing wizardry will always trump a poor mans Klitchko impersonation.

    Dirrell didn't really "beat" Abraham. He was awarded a win based on an illegal blow that disqualified Abraham.

    Yes, Dirrell clearly was (and should have been) ahead on the scorecards up to that point...but it ain't over until Bika's wife sings and there's no reason to think he couldn't have been caught before the bell to end the 12th had the DQ incident not occurred. Abraham does have a track record of KO's in the championship rounds.

    Therefore, Froch's win is FAR more authoritative.

    Also - pick any 10 & a half rounds from Froch-Abraham, and Arthur is getting beaten up worse than in all of his loss to Dirrell.

    Ha ha , what is your problem with Froch??? Your posts are so full of hate.

    Dirrell vs AA was competitive .

    Froch vs AA wasnt.

    Hmm

    Froch was never in trouble but also never seemed to seriously hurt Abraham.
    Dirrell was in some trouble in the end of the fight as he was knocked down even though it was ruled a slip. But he also knocked Abraham down.

    tough choice.

    Froch. Dirrell was looking gassed the last couple of rounds and was holding/running while AA was coming on strong, it's even debatable that Dirrell could have been heading towards a late ko loss. Froch dominated from the opening bell for the full 12.

    Froch easy, he won all 12 rounds while Dirrell was KD in the fight and was in trouble for the last couple of rounds and who knows if he would have survived the 12th round.

    The brutal beating that poor woman suffers on here can't possibly help matters.

    Froch did a better job than Dirrell. At least Froch completed the task.

    Also, Dirrell was beginning to look susceptible against Abraham. Abraham not once looked a threat to Froch.

    Agree with this... The Dirrell fight was far from over, just look at the round 10 obvious (but not counted) knockdown. Chances are Dirrell would have made it until the end without getting KO'd, but that alone says enough. Actually if we have to believe Dirrell :)D), AA actually knocked him out!

    Froch's win over AA was far better than Dirrell's performance.

    Froch, hands down.

    The second time I watched the Dirrell fight, I didn't fancy it QUITE as big of an assbeating. Froch just ripped him apart.
