If JC loses it pretty much eliminates his shot at any of the big names.
JC is too old to rebuild his name.

If Kessler loses, he has lost to a Ring Magazine p4p fighter, but he is
still young and Calzaghe will either retire or move up or down in weight
to fight some big name, either way with Calzaghe gone and Mundine
not allowed to fight, there would really be nothing left for Kessler to
worry about at 168 except maybe the Contender champ, lol.
What about Froch, Inkin and Bute ?
What about Froch? Froch has yet to beat a top 40 fighter an could well be the most overrated fighter on the planet. He has almost zero defense and Kess or Calzaghe would demolish him. In fact i think any of the other top ten guys at 168 would beat him.
I think that is way to harsh, Froch ko'd Tatevosyan in two rounds the Russian has never been stopped and had taken the now world champion Lucian Bute the distance only a couple of months earlier.

Froch is world class and anyone who says otherwise doesnt know much about boxing to be prefeclty honest.
He also stopped Brian Magee with a broken hand, Froch is the only man to ever stop Magee. Magee was also robbed of the Europen crown a year or two earlier by Jeff Lacy victim Tsypko. Lets get it right Carl Froch is world class, i dont think there is no doubt about that. He is close to number one with each organisation and will get his shot very soon.
Tatevosyan had come off a loss to a no name Pirog whose record was 3-0-0. Hardly world class. Now he is fighting an absolutely shot Robin Reid. Froch is no better than Danny Green standard at best. Stop being a typical british fanboy.
I cant stand the guy but imo he is World Class without a shadow of a doubt.
