Also, to the first point, with his fight with Kessler, Kessler was stopped on a cut in the end of the fight.

Sometimes guys have another boxer's number. Styles make fights. Ward has Froch's number. It's not that big of a deal. I would prefer to see Froch face Hopkins or Kessler in a rubber match.

I think Kessler and Froch just happen to make great fights. I saw both fights close. In their second fight, I saw Froch with a better start and more consistent use of his jab, but Kessler had the better singular power punches. I think a third fight would be another terrific one.

With Hopkins, it would be another way to compare Froch's career with Calzaghe's.
Dawson basically fell over frm exhaustion, that happens when you have to lose an extra 7 lbs....

He didnt feel like he had to hold Dawson as Dawson had no strength. People see what they want when they are a fan of a fighter but Wards win over Dawson is no more impressive than Frochs over Mack. It was a watse of a fight.
|Wtf? Are you joking? Are you seriously comparing Yusaf Mack to Chad Dawson. Fucking Brits eh?
