    Tarver, Bernstein said Dirrell was fighting an excellent fight throughout the broadcast. I thought he fought a good fight, especially considering his inexperience. In America he would have won a wide UD with that performance. He was fighting in Nottingham with bad judges. It happens.



    You act like he did it on purpose. :rofl He slipped on the water in Abrahams corner. He slipped in the same spot around round 7.


    He landed 3-4 clean punches the entire fight. How many clean punches did Froch land on Pascal, TAylor, and Kessler. Froch even got ina few good ones against Ward. DOnt act like Froch is completely offensively useless. Of all the fighters from fought Dirrell made him look the worst.


    Bute also has shorter arms and isnt used to having to being the aggressor in fights. I can see Dirrell picking Bute off on the outside quite comfortably.

    floyd for me. all the talent in the world, still he dont want do entertain, to fight good for his fans, no multiply combos etc. also avoiding to many dangerous opponents.

    I never was disapointed in Taylor because I knew he was just a media hype job to get rid of B Hop, This was proved over and over, knockout after knockout.He aint never been ****.
    I felt more sadness than disapointment with Lacy cause that beatdown he took was merciless. That was the wall for him. Alexander is still young and I will hold my opinon on him for now. Dirrell is also young but he is my most disapointing black fighter because he has the talent to be great and his heart wont let him live up to his skills.

    Pirog is just better than him, and also he has cancer now so I dont feel he owns people a lot now, he should be happy to live rather than box at this point.

    My answer would be Cloud, and I feel like an ******* even answering. But it's relative to how high you set your expectations, so on a paradox, Alexander; Simply do not think he's all he's made out to be. Taylor is a throwback to boxing for boxing's sake so he's exempt on account of balls of steel.

    People give Lacy too much ****, he had a good run. Lost to Calzaghe, his trainer should have threw in the towel but Lacy never quit. Beat a good fighter in Typsko while injured which proves that the whole "calzaghe runined him mentally" is bull****. He went down hill after the Typsko fight after the shoulder surgery. I fully believe its a physical problem. He was going the full 12 with manfredy, he couldnt land and when he did land it didnt have any power like he used to. The jeff lacy that fought reid ect would have KTFO of the majority of the guys Lacy fought post Vitali.

    Chad Dawson has been exceptionally disappointing in my book after the early promise he showed.

    ****ing seriously dude? All of these guys were world champions. And Alexander is still only 23. How about someone like Dominick Guinn, Mike Oliver or Calvin Brock?

    WHAT, Really? Jacobs has cancer. That is too bad. I was going to come on this thread and make a joke by saying Sultan Ibragimov was the most dissapointing Black fighter but the news about Jacobs has hit home. I wish him well. I just lost a friend from cancer a few month ago.

    Alexander and Lacy are/were mediocre bordering on ****. Taylor actually has some skills, however fleeting they are when he actually steps in the ring.
