Two wide open fighters imo and made him look a LOT better than you seem to think he is.
Don't believe for a second that JC is ducking but simply going the cash route first with a tailor made fight
Can't blame the fella really as he is by no means rich for someone of his incredible 10 year unbeaten reign.
With regard to Froch,i've followed him closely for ages and he's the most exciting Super Middle out there and the one sparking people with his huge power and i've been saying for ages he'll be World champ one day.
Kesslers a slick fighter with great fast combos but has he been in with someone of Joes superior skill and Froch's KO power?
Please. Froch's the one who's getting blown up.

You act like Froch's a world beater when he's only dismantling has been contenders. Froch's first 5 opponents had 186 losses between them...his last 5 opponents had 21 losses between them & hardly reputable names.

Kessler? 11 & 14.

Sure...everyone's gotta start somewhere & there are descrepencies abound...but none as laughable as those.

I think it's easy to see who's being fed a steady diet of "whut-evuh!" on this one. Support your fighter...but gotdam...let's keep it real.
Kessler's first 5 opponents had 48 fights between them. Froch's had 250. All your numbers show is Froch started his career against experienced journeymen, Kessler started against fellow novices.

And using current form lines Froch has the beating of Kessler.

Froch beat Henry Porras quicker than Kessler. Kessler beat a guy - Andre Thysse - in 11 that Brian Magee beat in 10. Froch STOPPED Brian Magee.
