    50 Cent can't be happy. Dib lost his belt, Gamboa has been linked to a steroid controversy and Dirrell doesn't want to fight. I guess becoming a boxing promoter isn't all it's cracked up to be.

    Damn. I was really hoping for something out of him. I guess he's just not interested in boxing anymore. Oh well

    I'd be disappointed too, if I wasn't painfully familiar with Andre Direll. He's not even in the top two most relevant Andres in the sport. He's barely hanging on to second-most relevant Dirrell status.

    Guy beat Abraham and pretty much Froch but hasn't done **** since. So much talent down the drain.

    Disappointing, just when it seemed like Dirrell might actually try to get it together he pulls out of a fight. Not really surprised but would have been nice to see him attempting to be active.

    I guess he could be working on something bigger, an injury, or something but knowing Dirrell he probably disappears for another year before facing another journeyman and then repeating the cycle.

    Good grief man. WHere those ESB'rs who kept on toting he's the greatest thing, back when he gave Froch a good run for his money?

    I so knew this guy's mentality was so unstable and been saying it since back then too. Dood has a world of talent and skills, never have denied that, but you can have all the ability but have no means of focusing it. He's had that problem WAAAAYYY before AA, as all his homos blame him. He always had been melodramatic and unstable, you can see it in the ring for Christ's sakes!

    It was his emotional instability that caused his loss against Froch... if he didnt do all his usual shenanigans in the ring, the judges wouldnt have dinged him against his stupidness....

    Thats why its so frustrating, he'd beat Froch in a rematch, hes the only person that could give Ward a good fight because hes so awkward
    hes still got time tho just needs 1 big won to get him up there

    come on now.... who would pull out a ****ing ESPN fight, unless creating a PPV?

    There's no other upside
