(VIDEO) Andre Dirrell On Training with Floyd Sr.; 50 vs Floyd beef. working with 50

You can't teach heart, so as skilled as he may be, this ***** will never amount to ****.

 

Somebody should've told Dirrell this.

Morales certainly wasnt. Less to do with age more to do with weight.

Barrera was prime or close enough, and there was nothing wrong with Cotto.


29 is pretty much standard physical prime for most fighters. There are exceptions like Tyson, Vargas and Ali who aged badly but Mayweather, Pac, DLH ect were at their best around this age.

 

Floyd SR and Dirrell -the American dream and role models for every kid in the world..............

 

After Ward rapes Kessler a second time, maybe Kessler gets to see tge American dream up close. :hey

 

Floyd SR, Dirrell and MICHIGANWARRIOR (location G Rap) -the American dream and role models for every kid in the world..................:deal

 

:yep

 

Such a shame. He's a living example of what can happen when a fighter makes a couple of bad decisions. The worst thing is, not only is he with a promoter who doesn't know the game (like you say), but he's with a promoter who'll likely inflate his ego and have him riding on a status he hasn't earned. Andre needs to play the role of the begger now -- take any fight he can -- if he wants to be taken seriously again. I fear 2013 will be another slow year for him if Fiddy doesn't sort his **** out, and he'll be into his 30's before he'll get a shot at someone decent.

Although is he talking about being on Groves' undercard in the UK in that vid? That's a good start (although he really should be on US networks). Activity is key. If he can bag three fights in 2013, then his comeback will be on track.

 

Fixed.

 

I think your concerns are a little overblown. Dirrel's partnership with 50 and 50's foray into fight promoting is off to a great start!

No matter what 50 may not know, 50 has made all of the right moves by building solid trusting long term relationships with all of the top fighters, premier promotional camps, and heavy hitting names in the fight world... OLDH, Haymon, Mayweather, etc... :thumbsup

Oh wait. :gsg:-(

 

Dirrell ducked Stevenson. Stevenson is now mandatory.
