    Well of course there is going to be SOME people who don't like him cause he is black.....but thats only a few, there are always going to be racist assholes around but they are the minority of people.
    There are plenty of racist Black people who root strictly for other black fighters and hate white fighters due to their skin color as well.

    But overall im sure it just has to do with how he acts in the ring. He can come off as obnoxious sometimes and and can do some annoying stuff as well as falling down and such. But overall I think he is a great boxer and the second best in this S6.

    Not even close.

    Unlike Alexander........ Dirrell actually landed shots and busted AA's face up. Alexander didn't land a flush shot the whole fight.

    I love how Dirrell can make any schooled fighter look like a drunk driver from the COPS tv show.

    He did land flush a few times with straights against Kotelnik but they were far inbetween. As much as I like Alexander, that fight was Kotelnik's imo.

    i actually rate dirrell highly because of those two fights you mentione.

    on his worst night he very nearly beat carl forch, and some think he did.

    on his best he destroyed AA

    hard not to give him credit

    So these people would like 'flashy, athletic, slick fighters who utilize their gifts' if they were white? ****ing idiot. It's got nothing to do with race.

    Ive been a fan of dirrell since his losing effort against golovkin. Even there you can see the massive natural talent and down right quickness he has. I think he should adopt more of a roy jones style though with his athleticism. He cant throw combinations fast yet though.

    I have to agree. Everyone rates Dirrell for one winning performance, a DQ win against Abraham, a former MW champ whos big win was who? With no real SMW.
    Even in Dirrells winning fight against AA he finished the fight out cold.
    He may have talent but im not sold from what ive seen either
