    Default Froch - Kessler

    How'd you (excluding Royal... I'll say it for you "Kessler are rom Denmark, so am I so Kessler are king of world and can kill god") think this would turn out?

    I reckon Froch would pull off a big upset and beat Kessler on points.

    He's infuriating to watch at times and you end up shouting at the screen for him to keep his hands up but he can definitely punch, he's got a solid chin and his physical conditioning is excellent.

    He'd beat Kessler.

    To be honest I think Kessler beats him....Froch is still too green for me.

    Kessler can be a top fighter on a world level (DESPITE being champ...whatever that means) Froch needs more time...

    I think Kessler beats Froch pretty handily to be honest, I'd be surprised if Froch beat any top SM at the moment.

    Froch is 6'1" too.

    They are both big lads - Froch has power and great whiskers.

    I think Froch could pull off an upset.. from what I have seen of Kessler... he's pretty 1 dimensional... a boxer rather than a puncher but still... barely 2 dimensional...

    All Froch has to do is stop impersonating RJJ and its not even a case of 'improving his defence' fucker just never uses it...

    The funny thing is I've always absolutely hated Carl Froch but watching him knock Brian Magee spark out after having soaked up about 4 rounds of being smacked in the face nonstop by Maggee I started feeling these strange feelings of affection for him.

    An arrogant bloke, for sure, but his style is exciting and I will definitely be following his career more from now on.

    i think it's close....Froch needs 2-3 more fights and then he'll be ready.....
    It feels good to be back home.

    He KO'd magee after snapping his thumb in half in round 1, so his desire passes the test for me.

    Agreed, arogant attitude - but funny!

    Anyone who says "ask Jim Watt, he knows it all, ask him - he's my biggest critic" deserves a medal.

    Yeah I must say after having hated his guts for the past two years his last two fights have won me over. I like a guy a who just refuses to keep his hands up despite being caught flush every round. He clearly doesn't mind being hit. :P

    But he can punch and more importantly take one, (actually about 200 a fight flush if his last two fights are anything to go by).

    He has a contemptous arrogance towards his opponents that I'm starting to admire. I mean lots of fighters talk as if they are better than anyone but judging by the way Froch fights, he definitely thinks so. I mean not even bothering with defense and just relying on his reflexes and power to win does make for exciting fights. I can't see him beating Calzaghe in a million years, I think he'd box his head off, but I reckon he has a chance against anybody else.

    I certainly hope he gets to fight Kessler sometime soon.

    Froch has improved but its only ever enough to edge his current level of opposition. If he continues to improve he can do more but he still won't beat Kessler, Lacy or Calzaghe. They will murder him. There are even prospects out there like Bute who are much better in terms of talent and skill
    Super Middleweight also acknowledge as Kessler's Kingdom when Calzaghe has retire
