    Where is the hate on Kessler coming from? Kessler is top quality.

    Kessler is unproven, Calzhage fans hype him to enhance Joes legacy when the fact is the only time he stepped up he was out classed. who has he fought since Joe whooped him to prove he is a threat at 168?

    I bet you were calling him unproven before the Calzaghe fight weren't you

    Truth is, it's what Kessler does next that will tell us how good he is.

    No, if I'm honest I had not watched a Kessler fight before he fought Calzhage. We can both agree however Calzhage is the only elit foe faced by Kessler; and he lost that fight. And so he is not proven to be elite or you could say unproven right?

    Well he got a clear and decisive win over current champ Anthony Mundine and boxed Librado Andrade's head off for every minute of every round. He demolished long time reigning champ Marcus Beyer as well.

    You're really stretching it to say he's unproven. He's without a doubt the current number 1 at super middleweight.

    If you allow me to get this stat in before ICB his last 5 opponents had a combined record of 152-5-2 and he won 4 knocking 3 out in the process. He's world class absolutely no question.

    If he's unproven what does that make Froch? If Kessler is one-dimensional what does that make Froch? If they ever fight Kessler beats Froch like a gong.

    I thought that it was a very close fight between two well matched fighters but Forch's ring Generalship was just that little bit better. He was able to take control when it mattered.

    of course because it was a British fighter competing for the title in a competative fight you know who certain biased posters are going to try and turn it around for.

    Good fight, one of the best of the year. Both came to win and fought hard and cleanly. Can't ask for more.

    What a fight !! What a chin Froch has !! (Amir Khan take note) I thought Froch won, maybe not as wide as the judges had it but I thought he won. Pascal has fantastic chin too, but Froch's chin is in the same league as Magarito's (Again, Amir Khan take note) I was never really a believer in Froch, until now. The fact that his chin is so sturdy means that someone is gonna have to go 12 rounds to beat him. The bells will be ringing for Calzaghe but Froch leaves his chin too high in the air for my liking and as amazing as his chin is everyone has a limit to their punch resistance.

    This was a really great fight.

    Good to see people ain't getting carried away. Pascal is no where near a big time hitter.

    good fight.

    Froch didn't really impress me, No defense at ALL!!!

    he did deserve the win though, he outworked Pascal in the second half of the fight. Judges scores were abit too wide.

    Haha I really hope Kessler and Froch (AKA Froggy) get it on, and I hope it will be in UK. I think that Kessler has a pretty good change of taking Froch out.

    I will agree that Kessler have had poor fights after Calzaghe, because they went after the WBA joke belt, and Haussler was a mandatory challenge.

    I just looked at the WBA ranking in SMW and if Kessler decides just to keeps this belt, he will be a champ for the next 10 years.

    But Kessler would like to unify the belts, and now Froch is a possibillity

    Anyway I thought Frovc vs Pascal was a great fight
