Kessler has been off 7 months and is figthing next montg. Sure it is long, but it isn't really spectacular, is it?
For starters there was 8 months between the Andrade and the Calzaghe fight. 9 months between the Lucas and the Beyer fight. And basically 5-6 months between the rest of his recent fights.
No, I'm not saying this is a good thing. I'd love to see him in the ring more and I think he takes too much time off. But there isn't really any hint that this layoff should be much worse than previous layoffs - as people here seem to be suggesting.
In short: Kessler will still toy with Froch.
Edited: Just one more thing - Frochs layoffs (although recently not really his own fault) is not really that much shorter than Kessler's. In fact they both fought in October/November 06, March 07, November 07 and are yet to fight in 2008. Admittedly there will be one month less between Froch's fights - but how big a deal is that?
