    If Dirrell can come back at the same level and actually fight people, he can be the king of the division, stylistically he matches up better aginst the rest of bthe division out of everyone at 168. He has the tools needed to beat Froch, Ward, Bute.....not saying he will beat them because the intagibles like heart/will have a question mark hanging around them with Dirrell but if he can show determination/tenacity/heart he can make it happen, I'm doubtful though, shame because he is one of the top 3 skilled boxers in the world behind Mayweather and Donaire

    What a ridiculous thing to say. Froch was champ, Dirrell challenger, so Dirrell should have travelled.
    Americans seem terrified of travelling. Still we know that American SMWs dont travel well in big fights in Europe ie Lacy, Taylor, Dirrell, Mitchell, Sheika, Brewer etc That list goes on

    Caused by Dirrells illegal holding and ducking under the belt

    Dirrell's out of the ring antics (and some in the ring things that people like to harp on) have cost him greatly. That said, I basically agree with Luf's scores and think Dirrell truly is a top tier SMW.

    he will be back. he has a lot of potential and could excel in the division but he wont be beating ward anytime soon. Ward has the potential to be greatest SMW ever.

    Dirrell should fight Bute though. it would be a great test for him and a highly winnable fight. just not in montreal.

    no you said he'd beat all these guys and used pressure as a key tactic. he hasn't pressured yet. he's turned up the tempo but that isn't pressuring a fighter a'la rcky hatton.

    you know **** about boxing.

    i said he'll pressure kessler like he did froch :rofl
    i said he'll ko bute in 1st :rofl
    i said he'll bash pac and fmj heads toghether :rofl
    i said he'll be the second black president :rofl

    if you can't see the irony when it's that obvious there's nothing more to say.good luck with your algebra.

    and to unser to your first question,all this guy can do is hold,run ,drope on his knee,fake,then run some more...that's his "master gameplan"..he has some speed but that's it,he can't beat anyone,he beat AA and won an academy award in the same time,gtfo with your bum

    I mistook your irony for your stupidity, it's ok, a lot of people think you're an idiot.

    I need no luck with algebra kid, first class degree with honours.

    that doesn't answer my question at all sunbeam.

    "How do you see a fight between Kessler and Dirrell panning out?"

    a "monster punch" is what james the harlem hammer butler hit richard grant with....

    AA hitting dirrell was a 6 inch "scooping punch"

    and he ran from carl froch as a challenger barley throwing a punches....

    that punch would have knocked you out cold if you weren't expecting it kid.

    what's your scorecard for the Froch fight?
