I guess this is because he was behind against Taylor until the knockout and becuase he looked slow and clumsly against Dirrell.

But to be fair to him he looked much better in his last fight than both Kessler and Abraham did in theirs.

The Froch Dirrell fight was one you could argue went either way, but you'd struggle to find a single round before the 10th that you could give Abraham against the same fighter.

As for Kessler, he lost damn near every minute of every round against Andre Ward, it was Lazy Calzahghe, Coralles Mayweather style royal pummeling of a so called champion fighter, he was humiliated.

Yet the belief persists that Froch is worse than both of them, and will likely get knocked out both times.

I'm going out on a limb here but I think he can beat both of them, and book his way into the final against Andre Ward, with the winner being probably p4p number 1 allowing for the retirement of the winner of any future Floyd Manny showdown.

It could happen guys, imagine that, Carl Froch p4p number 1.....
Simply put, he doesn't not have the boxing skills that those two have. He screams mediocre. Jermain Taylor beat himself and Andre Dirrell is a pussy.

I think Arthur Abraham will have the easiest time with him.

With Kessler, it depends on who shows up. If Kessler is finished, than the fight will be something akin to the Froch v Dirrell fight; if Kessler's fire is truly renewed, then IMO Froch doesn't stand a chance.

Personally, I would love to see Kessler blow him out.

Either way, i can't wait to see the fights.

And BTW, relating Calzaghe v Kessler to Corralles v Mayweather is ridiculous on many levels...

Kessler lost to Calzaghe, but wasn't humiliated
.
I didn't relate anything to Kessler's loss to Calzaghe, I said Calzaghe Lacy, Corrales Mayweather. Kessler got humiliated by Andre Ward the way Calzaghe humiliated Jeff Lacy.

Got it--misinterpreted Lazy to Lacy. ...don't think Mayweather or Calzaghe needed 5 headbutts, or to punch while in the clench either.
