    i rate him on potential but not actual accomplishments

    he needs to fight a full fight vs a top class guy and win

    he showed what he could do in some of the rounds vs Froch

    the lay off didnt help

    I think he has to potential to beat any1 in the division.

    in a fight with ward I think dirrell could steal a couple of rounds. and possibly winn a MD or SD.


    this is a fight where im prolly with 5 percent of the boxing community thinking that dirrel can beat ward.

    Bingo. You hit the main points.


    Tremendous handspeed. Natural athlete. Size advantage in the division. Lots of potential wasted over the past year or so.

    I think highly of him he is talented but he seems to be wasting his prime years by not fighting and getting rid of Al Haymon is not going to help.

    he's sitting in the wings, waiting to enter the top rankings. he has the skills but he's been out entirely too long.

    ring intelligence :yikes :nono ; without mental strenght he won't do **** but I'm agree that is talented .

    Andre Ward and Lucian Bute have "ring intelligence" and mental strenght:yep:deal

    I won't talk about Dirrell as a human being (in this case I won't even blink if I find out he has terminal cancer), but as a boxer:

    One guy like Dirrell at a top level and I would cease watching this sport for the rest of my life. He is worse than Sven Ottke for this sport.

    Do you rate Anne Sophie Mathis at female boxing, John Cena at WWE or Norway at Curling? You should, they are some of the best at their sport. Oh, you say you don't give a ****? Then that's exactly how I feel about Dirrell. Boxing would be as ugly as the Russian language with guys like him. Running in the ring should be made as illegal as headbutting.
    I am very serious when I say I love watching Ward fights, especially the recent ones, when he was fair-play in the ring. I watch BHop and many others that are considered boring. Also, I hope Andre's brother, Anthony will have great match-ups ahead of him. I would love to see him compete at high level.

    Let me make it clear once again: I don't give a F on this guy (Andre Dirrell) and his boxing.
