Kesler Vs Froch.Who would win?

[CFH]

Im not saying he would run away for 12 rounds, i said he most likely wouldnt, I dont think he would to be honest, he would want to get involved with the action. But Froch has proven a chin and has never hit the mat before, I think defence will have to improve on the higher levels of fighting, but if you see in the Reid fight, he simply just couldnt get inside or work anything, his only chance of landing a shot was a wild overhand right, which didnt really do too much against carl. Carls reflexes are pretty good and footwork, he can get out of trouble easy, and put people into trouble easy. Its a hard one to call, but Kessler would have to also demenstrate a good chin too because he wouldnt have faced anybody as powerful as froch.

Froch's chin is in no way proven against high-level competition.

well we would have seen him against Inkin this sat, but we cant now, so we will have to wait...

Inkin is a step-up from the mediocre competition Froch has been fighting, it would've been interesting to see how Froch dealth with him. Though from the limited amount I've seen of him Inkin has not impressed me very much either.

Well it doesnt sound like a lot impresses you mate but these two are really pushing to get that number 1 spot in the weight class and really have a good chance of doing it. Kessler is good, im not taking that away from him, but this was carls year for stepping up and its gone a bit tits up so far. We will just have to hope he gets a decent next fight and hopefully we can see more of him so he can impress you more

Like I said, my exposure to Inkin has been limited, but he seemed quite slow in most of the footage I've seen of him.
Froch, to me, appears much more impressive than Inkin, but he's yet to take a real step-up in competition to prove how good he is. His mouth is a lot bigger than his accomplishments. He's only had 22 fights, so it's not like he needs to step-up right away, but at 30 years old time is not on his side. He has good power and has showed a decent chin in some of his fights, but I'm interested to see what he can do against better opposition.
I'm not saying he won't be able to succeed when he steps up, just that he hasn't stepped up yet. I agree that Inkin would've been a good start, I think Froch would've won, and it's too bad that he didn't get a chance to demonstate his abilities.

I should also say that it's not that Froch hasn't shown impressive power and ability, because in many of his fights he has. It's just that I'm not sold on him as a fighter who will become a dominant force in the division. As a prospect, I would rate him quite highly, especially if he can work on his defense.

fair enough for thinking this, but all I can say is just keep watching and he will keep impressing, hes getting better every fight and I feel that 2008 is going to be a very good year for Carl.

As I keep watching, Fraud keeps getting older. He needs to make his move now

And he is trying to but Inkin pulled out didnt he? That was a good move IMO, taking out one of the top 5 ranked fighters. But although hes getting older doesnt mean he still cant improve, I feel that with age carl has been getting better so age isnt really too much. Look at BHOP, he is over 40 and pretty much at the top of his game. I still dont understand why you think hes a fraud though? its not like he has lost the fight or anything, so calling him a fraud is beyond me. If he was an American fighter I dont think you would call him Fraud and you would probably back him to be JC.

[littlebif]

I wouldnt call Froch a fraud,he has a very big punch so you have to give him a chance against anyone but i feel if he faces Kessler he will fall short.I think he will become world champion but not if he faces Kessler.

Shame Inkin never had the balls to face him,and instead just messed Froch about.

You could also say the same for Kessler. Besides Joe, Kessler's resume is not exactly stellar either. There is a lot of retreads under Mikkel's name to make him look good against. I personally am not sold on him yet. He seems to have skills, but no intangibles.

Mundine, Calzaghe, Andrade, and Beyer (maybe) are better than anyone on Froch's resume. Kessler also looked very good in losing to Calzaghe, a fighter in the top 5 P4P on almost anyone's list. Froch could turn out to be a world-class fighter, all I'm saying is that he hasn't proved much yet.
