Why does the majority think Froch is inferior to Abraham and Kessler?

[Kev]

It seems the majority sentiment has always been that Froch will lose handily to both Kessler and Abraham.

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.....

I thought Froch lost the Dirrell fight 116-112, maybe 115-113. It wasn't a robbery, but it was a hometown decision. In fairness, Dirrell opened the door for Froch, but he should have gotten the decision.

That being said, the gift win against Dirrell looks much better now that Dirrell took AA to school. I would have never given him a shot against Kessler before the tournament started, but it's a fair conversation now.

Still, I cannot imagine Froch beating Ward. Ward is so much smarter than Dirrell and every bit as fast. He's not afraid to get physical, and he won't be scared of Froch's power like Dirrell was. Ward will clearly beat Froch, probably by KO. As far as AA goes, Froch has a chance, I suppose, because AA relies so much on a punch that might never come. However, Froch is very hittable and he likes to mix it up. I think he's taylor made for Abraham. Dirrell was too fast and slick for Abraham to catch. Froch isn't that fast or slick, and if Taylor can come close to knocking him out, AA will put him to sleep.

I don;t think Froch will beat Ward either, me and Amat knew the score picking Ward to win the whole thing in the poll before the first round tournament started.
