You may not like Dirrells style but he was unlucky to lose against Froch and dominated Abraham before the late blow.

Thats good form in anyone's book.

Bit too quick to jump on people sometimes if you ask me

I don't think anybody is questioning his ability, but he has a massive question mark over his mentality. It may be a little ironic, but I was a fan of his until the late shot by Abraham. The aftermath of that fight - mainly him crying 'I got dropped maaaaan' - and then his insisitence he wouldn't fight Ward have changed my view of him as a person.

He's a really good boxer but I don't think he has that mental strength to acheive things someone with his ability should.

Forget Dan Rafael etc, they are completely and utterly out of the loop. Al Haymon's name is mud in the Showtime office. It was pointed out months ago, who would he root for - as he and Goossen are thick as thieves.

Al Haymon manages most of Goossen fighter's like Paul Williams, Chris Arreola. Does nobody remember - Both Dirrell's first fights as a professional was under Dan Goossen.

They knew this fight could derail either man and have orchestrated it in that manner. If he had a genuine injury, there would not have been a rescheduled date !

Shaw was quoted at the hospital after the Abraham fight that "brains scans clear. No concussion, he will be fine."

Doesn't this simplify things. Dirrell out, four remaining. Green insisted on getting his second fight, give him Ward rematch.

But green is supposed to be fighting glen johnson now?

It was Ward who wanted the extra fight.

Even though it looks like the Super Six is about to implode we still got some great matchups out of it that might otherwise not have happened so it wasn't all a total loss.

Al Haymon is starting to look like a bit of a sh*t stain on boxings underpants.
