Arum to Bunce: "Sturm in October, Froch in January is the plan"

[bzkfn]

B hop would beat Froch hands down and I dont deny that fact, Froch-Pavlik is a totally different fight to the Hopkins one because anything could happen in any round. Pavlik or Froch could pull a knockout, or Carl Froch in the later rounds can change his game plan and try and box like he did against Pascal, I think Pavlik would struggle with that change of pace. Kessler is too overrated hes not done anything since a losing fight to JC, whats he done since ? Carls fought and beaten a better fighter in JT and Kessler hasnt done anything. Bute-Froch would be a tough fight for Carl I dont deny that fact, but Carl would be the hardest fight to date for Bute and I think Carl could stop him late in an exciting fight. As for Andrade, are you serious? Andrade wouldnt take Carl in the later rounds, it would be an exciting fight of who has the better chins, and I think Carl is technically better than Andrade and he would win a UD.

IMO Pavlik has more power than Froch, and i'd say their chin's are about even, both were dropped identically against Taylor, only difference was once Pavlik hurt Taylor and dropped him, he didn't get up, i don't think Froch is #1 at 168 by any means, that goes to Kessler

Why do you rate Kessler at number one though ? He hasnt fought anybody since JC, which he lost to anyway and his promotion team are a joke. Carl has two bigger wins in Pascal and JT and hes still undefeated...Also if Pascal comes light heavyweight champion this weekend Carl has beaten him already which shows that Pascal is still a challenger at any weight. I think Kessler CAN be the best in the weight class, but he doesnt show me that through lack of top rated fights and inactivity. I rank Bute higher than Kessler IMO.

Agree 100% with Tam here. Kessler has done shit all to prove he's higher than #3 at 168 for me. Bute is #1 right now, Froch is a close 2nd and Kessler is 3rd due to inactivity and the absolute joke fights he's put on his resume.
