    But lets se how it goes.. Andrade is up first.
    Just try to get the hang of it, so one more go for it:
    "Every respect to Andrade and the upcoming fight!!. But Calzaghes big $$$$-fight in US could very well be on a HBO demand to fight "the in US unknown Kessler".

      "if america wanted me to fight kessler, i'd do it." my ass.

      a british fighter who never fought in the US is now saying that he'll be influenced by the fans of a country he never fought in. yeah, sure.

      he wants andrade to win so he doesnt have to face kessler, its that simple.

        To be fair, he is now signed to HBO, so...

          Froch will kick Kesslers ass. Forget Calzaghe he is not even best in Britain.

            Untill Froch actually does SOMETHING remotely noteworthy, it is very very easy to forget him - and rightfully so.

            Regardless of Calzaghe's poor choice of opposition you can't say the same about him. (though it does at times seem like he's working hard at ruining his own reputation)

            Untill Froch faces someone inside or arround top-10. It's completely meaningless trying to judge his abilities compared to the likes of Calzaghe and Kessler.
            Looking ever so great against sub top-100 opposition just doesn't count for anything at all when judging his chances against the best.
            The fact that he hasn't made it to world level aged 30, suggests he'll never get there at all.

              Haha, Joe C hasnt beaten anyone... so why would any of the real big names wanna take him on? Atleast kessler disposed of beyer and has also beaten other top smw's like mundine. One win over an over rated lacy doesnt mean squat im afraid

                Froch demolished Henry Porras WBC No 11. Didnt Kessler fight Porras.
                Brian Magee got a shot at Calzaghe.

                  Based on what? His former opponents? His defense?

                  I want to see how Froch deals with another top ranked fighter, otherwise he would never be regarded as a legit opponent for any of the champs. (perhaps IBF.. )

                    Yes, at the time he was 26-1-0. Hard to compare.

                      Froch will soon be WBC mandatory. He has real Power. You will see.
