if froch beats kessler?

woops, didnt read it properly and voted yes. My real answer: No. I think Kessler has been very overrated throughout his career (I would have told you that before and actually picked Ward to beat him). Froch, though he is dreadfully slow, has been underestimated at times, hes a strong mofo, but by no means a favorite in my eyes, one of the weakest links IMO

Andre Ward became the heavy favorite after destroying Kessler te way he did Nobody knows how Ward responds once he is forced out of his Oakland zone of comfort. And how will he react when faced with a referee who enforces the rules of boxing? Lots of ?? about Ward still.

I don't know about that. Froch was on the floor against Taylor and I believe Abraham hits harder... and when people get decked by the hammer, they tend not to get up. Although he's a gritty guy,Froch's defense isn't the greatest either, He could be on queer street if he tastes the fists of love from Abraham. what about if abe ko's Dirrell? Froch was on the floor due to taylors speed !! not power, Froch vs Pascal is a good figh, he gets hit by some huge bombs there and dint hurt him. Pascal is a light heavyweight so i dont think Froch will be hurt agianst Abraham

Win or lose against Kessler I know Abraham is going to lay him out bad in the 3rd stage of the tourney. And I do think he beat Kessler on momentum alone. Froch by controversial split decision. i think Froch will hammer Abraham, Froch is too strong

Lets not get carried away. Abraham would win by decapitation if he fought Froch.

I've just spent the last two days rewatching both round one fights of the S6 and you know I think Froch might just take Abraham on workrate. On pure trading KO % would have to give Abraham the slight edge but there's no way I'd count Froch out. No way whatsoever. I think he'll suprise a few peeps in rounds 2 + 3. Ward destroys Froch... yer Froch will beat Kessler

i think he's got a shot at decisioning abraham. he'd have to put a lot of early rounds in the bank though. which you could count on him to attempt to do. froch has a mexican's heart and he doesn't get a lot of credit for it. ward could beat him clearly on points. i doubt he'd knock him out though. plus ward's chin is pretty untested so we don't know how he'll handle froch's power. in the end, i wouldn't consider him the favorite, a very live underdog though. kessler's supposedly dealt with bad injuries for years so we can't say what his ring age is. ward might not be anywhere near as good as people are giving him credit for.

Ward destroys Froch...

nope-even if he beats Kessler (who a lot of people are unjustly calling "shot"),then Froch has to get through Abraham...there is not one sane person who believes Froch would survive trading punches with Arthur. I believe a Dirrell/Froch fight would be more clear than the last fight and Ward would pummel Carl... This is exactly how it is. I really hope Froch gets through Kessler undamaged and unbeaten because the Abraham fight will be such a great war. Two unbeaten champions going toe to toe.

no way froch wont outwork aurthor for the fact king will land his shots on froch leaky defense and willingness to fight. he can put combos together and work when he needs to he has underrated speed and is accurate. and he isnt afriad to let his hands go

will you make him favourite for the tournament? i see this being the fight of the super six.. nope-even if he beats Kessler (who a lot of people are unjustly calling "shot"),then Froch has to get through Abraham...there is not one sane person who believes Froch would survive trading punches with Arthur. I believe a Dirrell/Froch fight would be more clear than the last fight and Ward would pummel Carl...
