    He pretty much disappeared even though his career never actually fell apart and I feel like he can still have an impact in his division.

    My hunch is that he developed a substance abuse problem, total speculation, no facts or evidence to support this hunch. I just can't understand a total lack of activity.

    Maybe that whole brain injury thing turned out not to be a sham, after all? :conf

    I seriously think the secret lies in the Dirrel's family autosomes (my intuition is that the dirrels have possible French ancestry on their European side, instead of the typical Celtic admixture present in the majority of African Americans)

    Very unlikely, because he been living a healthy life style, had female ***ual partners & never ****ed with needles in a desperate drug situation.

    The chances of him catching HIV are extremely low. I think his seclusion has to do to unspecified (head issues) resulting from the man on man action he had with Arthur Abraham in the ring

    I simply remember Dirrell falling down on the canvas, holding, complaining, running, etc., in the fight with Froch, a fight in which Froch won...........

    Froch won that fight by way of gift decision. He was outboxed by Dirrell.
