I think it's smart money for Froch to challenge Dirrell if he doesn't get that fight with Kessler.

And he ought to do it next.

Smart money? You're ******ed.

I wouldn't walk across the street to see Dirrell's acting jobs in a ring. He brings nothing to the table

High risk fight for little reward for Froch. Dirrell needs to beat 1 or 2 top ranked SMW and then challenge Froch. I can only see one fight for Froch right now and that is against Kessler. The first fight was a classic and every boxing fan wants to see a second. I would take a trip to Nottingham for that!

Dirrell-Bute,though it's unlikely,but thats the one to bring Bute back for Froch or finish him off for good.Ditto for Dirrell.

I don't think Dirrell won the first fight personally. I think fighters that put on a peformance like that, such as Molina vs Kirkland should get disqualified for holding.

Holding should not be tollerated in boxing. This is not MMA. Dirrell has been inactive and Froch has been improving. As long as there is a competent ref that warns Dirrell when he holds excessively, Froch will win and he will likely stop Dirrell.

Unless somehow Dirrell has improved in his period of inactivity which some posters have suggested.

But this fight needs to happen so critics can be silenced regardless of who wins.

Who is Dirrell?

Joking aside, this guy needs to actually start boxing sometime to even start talking about him. The fact his style of fighting is not fans friendly, seems to be afraid of getting punched and I suspect he has his the punch resistance of Bute.

He reminds me of the Fraudley shitting his pants syndrome. It probably comes from training when he knows he can't take a punch. The fact is his speed at running away has hidden his weakness but one day someone is going to catch him flush and it is lights out for him.

Not sure why he choose boxing instead of athletics or some other sport. He would have done well in other sports that don't involved getting hurt.

Dirrell is so overrated and I think he is a busted flush.

Talent is like 5% so it doesn't matter how much of it he has.

I admit I had no idea that Froch would take apart Bute that easily. I knew Froch isn't scared to fight, and I had a feeling that Bute didn't like to be touched, but I assumed Bute's powerful counterpunching would keep Froch tenative from engaging and he would likely lose a closley contested decision.

Instead, Froch didn't give Bute any room to hide, nor any air to breath, as he waited patiently to land his punches where he knew Bute's head would be. While he did take some punches he could have avoided if he would have moved, he did take the punches extremely well and landed his own in response.

Dirrell's overall athleticism, difficulty to hit, and deceptive power make him a very challenging opponent for anybody in his division. He is faster than Bute and has deceptive power.

The problem recently with Dirrell is his inactivity. He hasn't fought near the competition level that he fought against two years ago. In contrast, Froch has been fighting the best the division has to offer, getting the best of just about everyone and only clearly losing to Ward.

Froch did a great job against Glen Johnson who tried to use pressure to close the distance against him, but his great effort considering his age, was not nearly on the same level as Ward's, who didn't give Froch any room to breath.

Ward beat Froch with a style that Dirrell will most likely not use. Dirrell prefers to fight on the outside and to counterpunch his opponent, but will try to land punches first and throw in combinations as he showed against Abraham.

Abraham of course is not the same fighter as Froch who has a longer reach and has recently shown great patience before engaging. Bute, like Dirrell, who prefers to counterpunch was not able to get to Froch because Froch kept a cautious distance, but still close enough to land his own punches.

While Bute doesn't have the same speed of movement as Dirrell, Froch still managed to show an impressive ability to cut off the ring, and consistantly corner his opponent.

Froch had success in his last meeting with Dirrell in so far as getting him against the ropes, but he did not have the level of patience that one obtains through experience, so he wasted too many shots.

Based on Froch's signficant improvements and Dirrell's inactivity, I think Froch will cut off the ring much more effectively and eventually stop Dirrell, probably late. I think there is a chance Dirrell may score a knockdown against a complacent Froch that doesn't believe he can be hurt, but if that does happen, I think Froch will get up and regain his composure like a true champion.

What's your take?

Dirrell didn't have much on his resume when he took on Froch the first time either. He just entered the tourney talking hella **** and then was to slick and athletic for Froch. Dirrell will always give Froch problems as a defense first atheltic long armed counter puncher. He isn't going to get hit as much with clean shots as Bute did.

Money wise no, but in theory fighting Dirrell and beating his ass convincingly this time around would enhance his legacy.

I would like to see him fight Dawson out of everyone left though.
