    He thinks hes a bigger star than the fighters hes more worried about appearing on camera talking jibberish than in making sure his fighters are ready, Dirrelivant is a known clown and hes also a bit of a diva i doubt he keeps up with Sr's bull**** through more than one camp.

    He helped ODLH develop that right hand, which, IMO made a huge difference down the stretch of the Vargas fight.

    Dirrell should get a hold of Sweet Pea Whitaker and get taught how to fight like a real world champion Southpaw. He's helping Zab at the moment and isn't Zab a part of TMT now? Make the call Dirrell.

    If true, it would only last for one or two fights. Dirrell is the perfect candidate to work under a Mayweather, but could he handle Sr's old school "my way or the highway" mentality?

    Why does anyone bring up Hatton? Hatton ****ed up focusing more on Lee Beard & his entourage instead of listening to than Sr. From that point on Sr just looked at it as a payday & didn't care because he had no control over the situation. If SR has the control he craves he's a true professional. Sr excels when he is the boss. Hatton was the boss & did things on his terms.

    Agreed. I like Dirrell and this could be a good fit.

    Yes and out of all the fighters he's trained if I had to pick which ones styles wise he was going to be the worst fit with it would be Ricky first and Oscar second. They are not slick boxers. All the slick fighters he's worked with he's made better. I'm not going to say this partnership will last forever or that eventually Andre Dirrell won't get fed-up with his antics but its a good fit for relatively raw extremely talented fighter with the right style for Sr.

    I believe it was Scully who lead him on that win over Adamek
