How good is Carl Froch?

[dumdane]

wheras Kessler, although very very good - only seems to have a kind of stand-up style which is almost amatuerish (even though he has no pedigree as an amatuer) and thats why i think Carl could figure him out and beat him.

Yes Kessler does stick to his style, that has worked perfectly so far (against better opposition than Froch i might add).

By the way what do you actually know about Kessler's amateur record? and what would in your opinion be "amateur-pedigree".

Keep in mind that Kessler only had 44 amateur fights. He last fought as an amateur when he was 18, so that limits the amount of accomplishments possible. But do you know anything about what he actually did accomplish or are you just guessing?
