I liked Ward-Froch, Ward-Kessler, Froch-Johnson, and Johnson-Green.
Froch-Abraham was not bad either, though also not competitive at all. It was about the cleanest Froch has looked though -- an easier feat when your opponent's "style" is to fight like a zombie, granted.

i want what your smoking
if you like sloppy brawls, i get it. i like technically sound boxing. there was none of that in that fight. neither guy looked "elite" -- i don't think you can seriously argue otherwise.
i understand that lots of people find the Chad Dawsons and Floyd Mayweathers of the world boring, but Froch-Ward was too much in the other direction. It looked like they grabbed two random dudes off the street and put them in a ring. it was embarrassing to watch.
Kessler is a quality fighter and he was fighting at his optimum to challenge Froch who can be reckless but was giving everything in that fight. These 2 are world class fighters and their battle was fierce.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
