Ppl can see sunshine comming out of whomevers a*** they like - Be it Froch, Calzaghe or Kessler.
But in the case of Froch, the credit some ppl wants to bestove him is totally unwarranted given his lack of accomplishments (and IMO promise).

Compare to Kessler who was cut absolutely no slack before becomming a champ. Still as a champ most refused to believe there could be anything noteworthy in a guy from Denmark, untill at least he'd gotten his second belt. A lot of ppl reached those conclussions without ever having seen Kessler.

Then up comes a brit with a big mouth and nothing much else to show - at a time when Calzaghe is nearing retirement.
Obviously he MUST be the second comming, since otherwise the british outlook for SMW in years to come looks bleak indeed. And he SAID so, so it must be true - right?

He has not even fought a single top-10 opponent. His last opponent was not top-100. And some ppl thinks he should be considered one of the top guys in the division already.
His style may look exciting but it also looks hugely risky - especially since he has yet to try it against anyone good. - and we are to assume he'll just cruise through a higher level of opposition?

Just try to imagine if me and other danes had been talking about Kessler in the same way BEFORE he'd even fought a single top-10 opponent. I think ppl remained fairly reserved for a long time even after he became a champ - and in most cases without even bothering to check out what Kessler is about. Now I've only posted here since after Kessler became a champ. But even then it was apparently NOT come-il-faut to suggest Kessler might be on the same level as Calzaghe and Lacy.
But when it's brits doing it - with far less to show - I suppose I should just consider it charming.
I guess it has something to do with eloquence or something else I'm oblivious to.

Apart from all that I just can't stand Froch because of his big mouth. Think you'd have to be british to appreciate him for it.
