According to Danish press: Kessler has decided to stop if losing to Froch

That would be be a good idea, but seing as it's bollocks, I'll pay it no attention. My comment about Kessler being down to a lesser opponent than Froch was purely a response to the OP's comment about Froch being down to a lesser fighter, but it was also very much true. Since their first fight Carl has gotten much better from a tactical standpoint and he's learned how to be just as aggressive without getting sloppy; things that used to be big problems. An improved Froch who has fought top quality opponents against a Kessler who has fought Bouadla, Green and Magee...Yeah, I've got Froch. This is my top fight of 2013 btw, two top fighters in a rematch, I cannot wait. But you wrote that Kessler had been down to lesser fighters (plural). I just pointed out that that was a lie, since he haven't been down against anyone else. Come on Bat, don't be fooled by all this talk about who's best at the moment. Fear not my friend, Kessler will deliver a great fight that will make us all proud, even if he loses.

Kessler's hairline is beating a hasty retreat.

and if he wins he's going to have a hell of a payday ahead of him. if i were kessler i'd look for a fight with bernard hopkins in monaco. If I where Kessler, there'd be one fight only I'd look for and that's Ward. Hopefully he gets a passport soon.

batt gonna need a hug after hearing this news. the stakes for the kessler fight just got higher. Hahaha. Will you come over and do the honours? I've exoerienced brutal defeats to my favourite fighters many times, and it's never funny. The first I remember was Ali's sickening defeat to Holmes. I was close to crying. So I guess the moral is to enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Kessler has been around seemingly forever, so it might be wise to call it a day if he loses. Hell it might even be wise to retire even in victory if the fight becomes as tough as the first one. I doubt it though. Boxing is his life. and if he wins he's going to have a hell of a payday ahead of him. if i were kessler i'd look for a fight with bernard hopkins in monaco.

Froch stops Kessler in the late rounds. Carl has been on a tear and Kessler is on the decline and will get stopped on cuts. WAR FROCH!!! I want to see his chick again You are delusional....Kessler has shown no sign of decline. Kessler would've taken overrated Bute out in 3 rounds or less..... Froch is old and will loose big to The Viking Warrior :boxing:

Doesnt every fighters say this at one point, but who has actually stuck to it? Hagler maybe?

Might as well not show up then.

froch is taking this. Kessler himself has been down to much lesser fighters (Green recently) and Froch will fight a smarter, but aggressive fight this time out. Kessler has only been down once as i recall it??

You should keep your mouth shut when you have no clue on what you are talking about, elsewhere it will seem likeyour are intentionally lying to get attention. Kessler has never been down against any other fighter than green, which was more a matter of balance than anything else. Let me ask you something, in what fight do you see a degrading kessler? Yes he's fough lesser opposition than Carl, but so has every boxer on the planet. That would be be a good idea, but seing as it's bollocks, I'll pay it no attention.

Kessler, if anything, has seemed to regressed while Froch goes from strength to strength. I see Froch starting off a lot quicker than last time and winning on the scorecards.
