Froch needs to start getting his props if he beats Kessler, some people might already have given him his props but for those who haven't, including me, i think we will have to seriously consider it if he beats Kessler, because it looks as though Froch is tailor made for Kessler, if he can overcome those stylistic issues that will say a lot to me about the intangibles that Froch has as a fighter that people dont see and give him credit for.
What do you think?
unless kessler is shot he takes this with ease.i dont give a guy props for getting outboxed by a green prospect but then winning a home cooked decision
It depends what Kessler turns up. If its the pre-Calzaghe Kessler then you would have to give him credit.. I personally dont feel that Froch could beat that fighter but if its the fighter that got battered by Ward then I dont think it will remove the question marks that are over Frochs head.
I have a feeling that Kessler's confidence isn't what it was and think he'll lose on points.
Which kessler shows up? Lol..it's still the same kessler who's biggest win is a lost to Calzaghe.. He finally steps up after so long and loses to Ward who is still green, not even close to the top of his game.. It's been question marks for Kessler this whole time.. I don't think Froch can win this fight but if he wins by impressively fashion, maybe just maybe
i was there live, probbly about 5 rows away...i could here every snap, every bit of blood fly of dirrell from frochs cobra like jab...dirrelll lost and ****e up...if he performed like he did against abrham he may have got a few more rounds. But he was shit scared of froch...
yeah, froch was really putting a beating on the air. he wasn't trying to hit dirrell, he was purposefully swinging at the air.
how did he steal a decision from him when even the ringside press had froch winning..???
From what i remember every single presenter /analyst on 'primetime' tv channel who screened the fight and most sportswriters...had Froch losing by a few rounds
Are you sure you didnt get carried away by the crowd and the atmosphere at the time? have you watched it since?
live on tv all presenters thought Dirrel had it
Maybe you're letting the announcers sway your opinion...from where I was sitting Dirrell put on a boxing clinic mingled with a bit of a marathon escape plan but nonetheless i scored it for dirrell

yeah i'd have to say i'll be just a little impressed if he beats kessler, i'll give him real respect when he beats one of more impressive guys in the super 6...dirrell is not a top contender in the super 6 IMO and Froch stole a decision from him, he needs a real heart check

kessler already got beat by ward

My fav quote. Talking about how he'll deal with Dirrells speed.
"Speed's not a problem if you're not there to be hit and it's my job to ensure I'm not there to be hit and keep my guard up and that's what I've been working on in training.”
He deserves his props already. Fight with Pascal was sick. Comeback vs Taylor was great. Dirrell fight was garbage, but that wasn't his fault. I think he lost, but I wasn't crying for Dirrell after that fight. Kessler's stock dropped after Ward shit on him, and Froch spends too much time crying about Calzaghe. But no way this win can be discredited if he gets it decisively.
Some recent Carl Froch quotes:
"I've got fast hands."
"I give myself an A+ for the Dirrell performance."
"It'll bounce off the granite chin of The Cobra."
"It must have been Calzaghe fans."
:rofl:

:stupid:LMAO
I agree with the 2 most recent posters....froch is full of shit and he knows he lost that fight to Dirrel and was extremley lucky against taylor......Audley harrison style lucky!
he is a tough ****er......he deserves some respect if he wins and i think he will but he has limited skill...quite one dimensional and is preety slow compared to the elite
Yeah i almost dont get cross with Froch anymore as the things he says are so ludicrous that its actually quite funny, infact sometimes i wonder if he is just pulling people's chain to get a rise.
Froch makes Darchinyan look like Arguello in terms of cockiness

I'm no fan of Froch, but I take him for what he is. A limited, but rugged and mentally tough fighter. However, he's willing to take on anyone and for that, he gets props from me.
Plus, he's so delusional, it's funny.

What do you think?
Yes he does.
I haven't yet because he got outboxed by Taylor, whom had already lost to Pavlik at Middleweight twice, and kinda gassed out.
Then the AA win was not a win for me.
If he ebats Kessler fair and square, then yes I'll give him loads of credit.
