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

[jangeorg]

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.....

If Kessler can find his old Kessler-heart from the Calzaghe fight, I think that Froch will be beaten half to death and probably KO`et too, if not, then it will be a straight fight

Its a fair question Bilbo & you make some valid points, but for me styles make fights & both Abraham & Kessler have styles to beat Froch.

Well Bilbo considering me and you, have debated on Lucian Bute the most. I'll happily take a bet with you regarding Lucian Bute vs Carl Froch, i've been impressed with Lucian Bute before he even won a title, with stoppage wins over tough opponents like Kabary Salem. So whenever they fight i'll happy accept.
