I think Kessler style would brake down Froch, especially right now. Thats why I said eralier he needs a couple of more fights I like Froch he makes for good entertainment and from what I have seen of him don't think he could be in a dull fight.Quote:

With his defence I don't care how good his chin is I would pick both of them to stop him late. He has never been down or wobbled... So what, he has 19 fights and one decent opponent, who was easily outpointed by an old Robin Reid and lost to Vitali Typsko, neither of which had as much trouble in defeating Magee as Froch did. It's just silly the way this guy is being hyped since Calzaghe signed to fight Manfredo.. Heartbreakingly predictable really.. The best SMW by FAR is a UK fighter, and Kessler is clearly the man he has to beat, but since it won't happen... All of a sudden Froch is world class, and would win undoubtedly. PAthetic.Quote:

Kessler is huge for the weight,strong,experienced beaten a higher level of competition and hits hard too. He has a good jab,good defence although is slightly stiff and robotic(would LOVE to see him against Lacy!). Froch is exciting but Kessler would be a big step up for him and I don't think he could handle it but hey,he has the power and kudos to him for mentioning Kessler,he has nothing to lose!

Has Kessler ever been down? Or hurt in a fight?Quote:

Froch has had over 100+ amatuer fights and has fought the best all around the world.
Former World Senior Amateur Championships Bronze Medallist
Former Multi Nations Gold Medallist
Former Double ABA Champion
Kessler is going to get bitten in 2007 if Andrade dont KO him first.
Mark Breland and Kelcie Banks were outstanding amateurs. It didn't do them no good as pros. If this is why you think Froch can beat Kessler than your beyond reaching.Quote:

Don't agree with you lot ;D
I think Froch maybe has the most KO power in the division and is definately getting better with every fight.
His defence and low guard is something that should have been ironed out while he was young but he's in the habit of fighting like that now i think.
That said he is so confident (And it was more obvious than ever before last night) of his ability to Bash his opponent down these days that he could hammer Kessler inside the distance after he claims the European title.
No doubt in my mind that he will challenge for World honours within 2 years. ;)
He was looking for that right uppercut from the off and he did the same to Magee.
Identical punch that set up the KO!
Like the attitude and the confidence but from what I've seen of him he gets royally f---ed if the fight happens. Just too easy too hit.
We would if he sorted out his beak :lickish:
No way, Robin Reid had Magee down far earlier and alot more often and a fresher Magee and older Reid.Quote:

Oh wait yes I can, the first knock down was a h*ll of a shot and the most blatantly ileagal ive seen.
Maybe but the current issue is,forget Reid (he's history) and Lacy will never be the same fighter as he was prior to facing Calzaghe.
Froch has the eye of a hungry tiger,and the confidence of a levitation expert in a heavily mined field.
Self belief is half the task while on the road to World titles ;)
