    Overrated based of being fast. No inside game and his 'slick' skills consist of being able to run around the ring. Khan's fast and has no inside game, but he has balls and heart. Dirrell doesn't even have those.

    not a chance, being fast and running whilst landing jabs or occasional combos is not skill, skill is like people have said, comprised of many things, but if you are confusing skill for slickness, then still no, people like Mayweather dont have to run to make people miss, they stand right in front of them, thats slick

    Why stand in front of them and make them miss if you don't have to? He has the athletic ability to get out of range, he's just using his natural talents and it works. Isn't pretty, but **** it, it gets the job done (or he gets jobbed, whatever).

    Personally I was looking forward to the Ward fight, everyone was. Short memories. His inactivity isn't helping but he does belong in with the elite 168 guys, already proven he has the ability..

    BUT

    He has no heart, none.

    TBH lads he said talent, I do think Dirrell is talented but don't agree he's a great boxer because if he was he'd be a world champion already. Talent is a small part of any sport, it's about application and sadly Dirrell doesn't apply himself properly. Due to being a mental midget..
