    Why would he fight George Groves for the title, he's damaged goods.

    Because Groves is his mandatory. Ok, he may have the right to a voluntary, and if he wants to give that to Paul Smith, good luck to him, but he has to fight Groves after that. My point is the excuse about Groves "not being worthy", yet Paul Smith is? Does he know what happened to Smith when he fought Groves?
    If Dirrell wants to fight in the States, fine , that's the Champion's prerogative, but don't start trying to make comments like you own the division when you've done fuck all in it.
    Infact, what the fuck did Dirrell do in the last few years to earn title fights himself.

    Oh yeah I'm not saying Dirrell is right, I'm just saying I can see why he doesn't want to fight Groves. He has nothing to gain because Groves is a tough fight but damaged goods. Even if Dirrell had an amazing performance and starched Groves in 30 seconds of the first round, people would just say "oh big deal, Froch already ruined him". Tough fight, nothing to gain, I can see why he's trying to avoid him.

    Any thoughts on Dirrell vs Jack? Boxing match, slugfest or a snoozer? PBF says it's Jack's fight to win.

    Anthony will knock him out I think. Jacks chin is a little shaky and he stands straight up. Floyd is backing Jack cause he promotes him. Anthony being the less skilled of the Dirrell brothers is also probably Floyds last hope for Jack.

    I used to always compare the Dirrells to the Klits. One had the heart, soul, metal and raw power and the other the skill. Anthony has gone a little stupid since the first Bika fight and is sort of emulating the attitude of his older brother who I thought would win the S6.

    I wanted Dirrell, but for some reason when I heard Floyd back Jack up. I just coudn't remember if he ever did that for Broner.

    That is why I mentioned Floyd as a reason to think Anthony may not have this locked up.
