Froch tells of rough childhood.. having his bicycle stolen etc!`

Yup, he'll take it with his blistering hand speed, amazing technical ability and perfect foot placement.

Or on his physical and mental toughness. I'm not saying the guy is brilliant but I think he's got a great shot at winning this tournament now. He fights Kessler next week and if he comes through that with a W there will be more than just me thinking he'll win. If Kessler only shows what he did vs Ward I think Froch will win too.

I don't care what Kessler shows up. Froch's not winning. The Kessler that showed up against Ward could beat Froch as well. Froch has no lateral movement and has wide looping punches. A technical boxer like Kessler will pick him apart. Jermain Taylor was beating Froch before he ran out of gas and Kessler is a better fighter.

I give Froch credit for finding a way to win against good opposition but it's only a matter of time before he loses. He has NO SHOT... I repeat NO SHOT against Ward. None.

I disagree. Someone with Froch's workrate and chin has a great shot vs anyone at SMW. And as for Ward I think Dirrell will take him too.
