Haha good one. Bernard Hopkins lost his first ever fight. Ali lost to Frazier in their first meeting yet is regarded as the better boxer. Even if Froch retired now he'd have a better legacy than most boxers out there. He's a 2 time world champion, beaten some of the best boxers in the current generation. He should be a superstar right now.
Dont think he'd beat Calzaghe, but then who could, eh? No-one.
So if Froch should be a 'Superstar' where does that leave Kessler?
Kessler who held both the WBA and WBC straps simultaneously (Unlike Froch)
Lost to Calzaghe then reclaimed his old WBA strap, lost it, then took Froch's WBC strap?
Mind you in all fairness judging by the likes of Taylor,Abraham,Dirrell, and 'Pensioner' Johnson then some may regard him as a 'Superstar'. It just underlines that the division isn't what it used to be.
Who knows, we may see a totally regenerated Kessler emerge to pump some interest back in the division, i hope so.
In the meantime we'll have to see how Froch copes with punching fresh air against Ward.........
Bute would not give Froch a hard time, he would beat him convincingly. I don't mind what he says, he struggled with Johnson, who was losing on points against Allan Green. Froch has been caught off balance many times against Johnson, who is not even slick. Against Bute or Ward, Froch will look amateur, he will swing the air, try to rought things up because he won't land much and will receive a lot. At least, Ward has no power, so he will be able to stay near him. Bute is another story. Froch would suffer.
Bute is fighting guys Froch knocked out years ago. He isn't on Ward/Froch/Kessler's level and would end up getting badly exposed.

Bute is elusive?
Froch would chin him. No problem.
Bute is over rated himself. He is good but he's limited to watch he can do. If Froch roughs him up he'll win. Froch has already proven himself. I took notice of this guy after he beat Pascal. I had seen some of his fights before that but nothing that stood out. He proved himself with his win over Taylor aswell. Fights are fights and style are style. Just because he had a tough time with Taylor does'nt mean ****. He finished him off and that's what matters. The way he came back in that fight showed what kind of man he is. Froch is honstley one of my favorites right now. I would rather see Froch win the tourny.

honestly what's the point of even fighting if you already have a loss? he will never catch calzaghe, ottke or any of the super middle greats. i guess he has to make a living but i hope he's not too invested in this boxing career.
wow thats the stupidest thing i ever heard ottke would of been ended in 5 rounds to froch hes already above him with dirrel AA johnson pascal reid taylor then the very close loss to kessler froch will be remberd longer than sven S,M greats you talk about calzaghe collins kessler then ye got froch/ward there the 5 benn eubank behind he follows the class from great britian in this divsion and IF he beats ward then i think hes right behind joe calzaghe as all time SM gr8

that's my point. he will never be able to catch calzaghe because he lost to someone calzaghe beat. it's over for him. chasing a legacy is impossible. he should make as much money as possible and then make like a tree and leave.
Carl Froch can beat Bute, any Super 6 contestant can.
But I don't see him beating Ward. And I don't see him beating Dirrell on neutral grounds. I also see him losing to Kessler if he goes for that rematch he said he wants.
All I can say is that Bute is a much better fighter than a washed Taylor or an old ass Johnson or a cement footed King Arthur.

Froch's condition was superb. He certainly was in second gear throughout the fight. Froch had great energy throughout the fight and is exciting to watch. But I gotta pull for SOG Ward to take the Super Six title. These two guys dominates the super middleweight division, and are proven goods, unlike Lucian Bute.
