Dirrell in for a rude awakening!!!!

+1

and dont be surprised to see more than 10,000

 

If anything its a case of
Froch=Lacy
Dirrell=Calzaghe

It could go either way to be fair though because this is Dirrell's acid test. He may well school Froch, or he may get found out. 10,000 fans mean nothing, Froch cant bring them into the ring with him

Bottom line is Froch isnt that good, but we dont know how good Dirrell is yet

 

Bottom line is: Froch beat a fighter who beat Hopkins. Froch > Taylor > Hopkins whether you like it or not. So if youu think Hopkins is really poor - then you can say thaat Froch isn't that good, but in terms of pure logic you make no sense if you think Hopkins is good.

 

No one is underestimating Froch. Its already known what he will bring to the table.

It is like Calzaghe/Lacy though, only not in Froch's favor.

 

Yes and Pavlik must be better than Hopkins too right?

Froch has no defense, average speed, decent but not great power. He's nothing special and he's getting found out whether by Dirrell, Ward or Kessler

 

about your comparison : that is what i thought exactly when i read the original post in the thread , but , and regarding the rest : Froch has some meaningful wins : Pascal , Taylor , Reid
unlike lacy who only had Reid.
Dirrell , however has no meaningul wins at this point , thus even less than Calzaghe back then and less experienced.

 

Thats how he's always fought, he can't change it now

 

Ya gotta be shittin me, everyone is underestimating Dirrell if anything.....Not Froch.

Dirrell isn't the one in for a rude awakening. The guy that's already on top with the belt is in for one. Dirrell is being seriously underestimated by Froch and his fans.

 

Kessler to be found out? I think he's the most proven fighter at this weight and it will take a special performance (like the Calzaghe fight) to beat him.

We know what Froch can do. Dirrell can surprise in this fight.

 

You're absolutely right in that Dirrell doesn't know what he is letting himself in for. I think you're wrong in the comparison with Calzaghe Lacy though. From the polls on here it seems that it is only the most optimistic Americans or fervent Calzaghe fans (ie Froch haters) that credit Dirrell with having more the a slim chance of beating the beast that is Froch in front of his home fans.....and yes, despite his deficiencies, Froch IS pretty damn good :hey

 

Froch is the favorite. In ESB and outside.

 

Taylor > Hopkins > Pavlik > Taylor

oh ****, what do we do now?


Hopkins is p4p #3, Taylor was nowhere near the top10 when Froch got in the ring with him.

 

Kessler's not all that...he's done NOTHING to prove otherwise.
