Dirrell is 29 with, almost 8 years as a pro. Only 21 fights, is yet to win a title and his best win is Arthur Abraham..
Puzzling career....so much promise only to be halted. If he returns he will not look good and if he returns against a good fighter he probaly gets KO'd!
In a sport like boxing, if your progression is stopped, there are good chances you don't get as high as you could have. Would Dirrell have beaten Ward? We may never know. Sad.
That's all he has: a four second highlight reel. Dirrell fought less rounds in the past two years than Andrew Flintoff has.
Maybe.. But it has been wasted. He has great athletism and good skill.. But he lacks the focus and mentality.
dirrell hurt froch more then froch hurt him he should be ranked #2 if he ducked word at the super6 fair do's, even though he did have a chance froch lost that fight
