His only way of beating Kessler would be to knock him out and I just don't see him doing that, Kessler is not a good matchup for Froch.

He'd do in Lucian Bute though, and even Alan Green

Him and Andrade would be great, Gatti Ward at 168
He's similar to Andrade, but not all that similar. Andrade has a better chin and puts on pressure in a much more intense way. He's also better technically IMO, though I think Froch has more one-punch power from what I've seen. I'd love to see a Froch - Andrade fight.

I think Bute beats both of them and I'm certain Kessler does.

I don't see how you can say Andrade has a better chin, I'm sure Taylor hits harder than Yusaf Mack, and he caught with two absolute bombs in that round.

Froch's chin is rock solid imo.

I think Froch beats Andrade if they meet but it would be a great fight for the fans, guaranteed excitement and action.

For the record I think Froch is technically better than Andrade, who was 1-14 as an amatuer.

Froch looks sloppy at times but he's got skills.
Bute and Kessler, both of whom have legitimate power beyond that of Jermaine Taylor, were landing almost at will against Andrade and he walked right through it. Taylor hurt Froch several times in this fight. Also, Mack may have dropped Andrade, which excellent punches, but Andrade never seemed seriously hurt.
