    andre dirrell dont want none. andre dirrell want rematch wit abe or froch. i also hear he mite get it on wit kessler. little dirrell has more balls then older dirrell.

    ward shoulda just fought bute after the super six an then fight dawson after that. then by the time he done wit dawson, andre wouldnt be so inactive and maybe he could fight with him. or by that time the younger guys will be ready like anthony dirrell, tommy gun, or edwin rodriguez. but right now there isnt ne one for andre ward . the only fight i would like to see right now is andre ward vs andre dirrell an we all kno andre dont want none of that.

    I actually think Dirrell might give Ward some problems. Ward is used to having the speed and athletic advantage in his fights. I think at the minimum they are equal in both departments, but I do think Direll may be a bit quicker, has a better jab and more power. I just don't know about Direll's dedication to his craft. Ward probably wins, but I think Direll could make a fight of it, if his head is in the game.

    Dirrell said he wants to fight Ward after he gets a title.

    I like Dirrell alot, wish he would get his ass back in the ring. But I agree with AT1, Ward will stop him.

    Dirrell has incredible speed and reflexes. But Ward isn't too far behind in those qualities and he's way ahead of Dirrell when it comes to focus and mental toughness. That said, Dirrell could cause some real problems but I imagine he'd unravel late in the fight.

    And Ward does not want to fight a Dirrell.

    Don't know why people keep trying to force this fight. If they don't want to fight, let it go.

    not sure about Ward not wanting it but weren't they scheduled to fight in the super 6 and then Direll dropped out?

    Fear? Doubtful.

    What I do think is that these dudes grew up together in amateur programs so know each other pretty well. As they are close physically, they both basically know who will win due to mentality. I think that is Ward.

    However I do think Dirrell has the athleticism to make the fight interesting and tough on Ward. Dirrell will need a string of wins that brings Ward's dominance into doubt in the public. Dirrell will also need some drawing power to make the purse large enough for both men to throw aside the foregone conclusion. Dirrell dominating the fight with athleticism early and a Ward win by stoppage late. Then and only then will these two meet.

    In my heart of hearts I feel that the Super Six was just too much too soon mentally for Dirrell and he will never achieve his true potential. I hope I am wrong.

    Dirrell is the only person at 168 that can beat Ward

    I think Anthony Direll has better chances than Andre, on mental strength alone.

    Andre has all the talent but he has Judah syndrome. Just a consistent series of mental errors (insert Shaw Hi joke).
