Kessler is a good fighter; but has been overrated for a long time. He does most things well but is unable to adapt and has no inside game at all.
I think if Froch fights inside he'll clearly beat Kessler, If he uses roughhouses Kessler as is his strong point he'll clearly beat Kessler unless he stands mid range and tries to box with Kessler (Which he may be dumb enough to do) he wins in my opinion.
I'm not sure if he can beat Abraham however as he tends to let other fighters hit him and Abraham hits hard.
Against Ward I think he does well as although Ward is a smart fighter with speed and ring smarts Froch has done well against two fighters (Pascal & Taylor) who have simmilar attributes! he was out boxed for long periods by both but seems to have the willpower to breakdown these opponents. unlike Kessler.
