    When does that EVER happen??

    Why do you call out Dirrell specifically for doing what everyone else does?

    What did his brother Anthony do to get a title shot(which he won)?
    What did Alex Leapai do to get a mandatory shot Wlad(Or Pianeta, or Wach)
    What did Brian Rose do to get a title shot at Andrade.
    What did Lee do to get a shot for the WBC title against Chavez.

    etc etc etc etc etc etc

    Dirrell is simply called out for it, because lots of people dont like him. Just be upfront with it

    Andre Dirrell should not be fighting. Why?

    He either A) is literally boxing with severe brain damage or B) he figuratively has no testicles whatsoever.

    So, retirement or switching to the women's game should have been his only two options after citing brain injury from Abraham in 2010 and subsequent withdrawal from the Super Six.

    Since then? Utterly irrelevant in the ring.

    I thought it was for IBF #2, right behind DeGale.

    I'm not convinced. Sparring isn't the same as fighting, and you rarely spar 12 rds against the same opponent, and not at full pace. Which fights has he showed it in? He only went 10 rds once since his comeback and he's only fought low-level opposition. Therefore i don't think it proves anything, cause he hasn't been pushed like he would against World class opposition, and he might be more tense in what he expects to be a good fight than in fights where he's far superior like in his latest. You might be right, but i have to see for my self, and it has to be soon since he's 31 now and doesen't have the style at his best when he's past 34-35 years old as i see it.

    Whenever you see me comment ( I don't comment a lot ai wish I could got other stuff going on) in posts about wasted talent I mention Dirrel and that I was disappointed by his waste of talent. I am not hating on him even though I don't like the scenario as I wouldn't like it with whoever it is BS. What would benefit him more than being rushed and fighting someone not in the top 10 would be to take it slow and be active. It would help with his mental issues but hopefully he has learned something by spending more time with his brother who isn't as talented but when he gets hit he fights back instead of runs. He should of beat Froch and I don't really think eitheir of them won that fight Froch did **** all and Dirrel ran. It was horrible ... It's sad though both Dirrel and Ward were the most talented guys in the S6 and it has been a let down. I try not to hate on a fighter but I do hate the system hell wrestlings rankings and mandatories make more sense.
