    I will be glad if this fight comes off. I am beginning to grow worried about Kessler. Froch is a dangerous opponent who presents a real challenge and allows Kessler to add a very credible name to his resume and puts himself back in the mix with the absolute elite fighters from 160-175.

    Kess pisses in a UD here by the way. The one thing I was thinking when watching Froch-Pascal was that JT and especially Kessler would murder either of these guys. Kessler's jab and right hand will just murder Froch all night.

        Then the winners unify the titles!
        Wright, Green and Dirrell don't belong in the ring with Kessler. Wright hasn't fought in nearly 2 years. Green has done anything in over a year. Dirrell would just get picked apar.

        who the hell is this Carl guy? another bum?

        As much as I like Taylor, he doesn't stop Kessler..unless Kessler loses an arm before the fight.

        Froch/Kessler - I love it. Put Taylor/Bute on the undercard. ****, put Pascal/Dirrell on the undercard as well.

          Froch kessler would be a war. I'd give Kessler the edge. Either of them would get the better of Taylor.

            Kessler should win this easily...cant help but smell a rat though.
            If Froch puts up a good fight then it should still have him in the mix either way...if Kessler loses then he will probably retire.

              Exactly what I was thinking. Not Taylor though, I wouldn't like to bet on JT beating Froch. Good skills, but he is too lazy and has been KO'd by Pavlik. I have no reason to believe Froch doesn't hit at least as hard as Pavlik.

                I think Tylor and Kessler both can win by UD, there is no way Kessler or Taylor ko Froch, but if Froch catch them it's over, for Taylor for sure, and I think that Froch panches harder than Pavlik.

                  I guess Froch dont like to have a belt. No chance agains Kessler.
                  And i am sure this fight wont go on. He better take Taylor then i would have a chance.

                    I certainly think Kessler wins more comfortably than JT does but I would still be very surprised if JT lost to Froch.

                    I disagree with you. I don't think Froch hits very hard at all. HE is tough, but not powerful. If he did have a great deal of pop he would have got Pascal out of there. Hell, he hit the man with about 200 clean power shots.

                    Don't forget that Taylor still has one of the best jabs in the game and a great right hand. He got stopped by Pavlik partially because of the weight and also because he got foolish and punched himself out early. That would not happen against Froch. Aside from the fight Taylor has shown that he can definately take a punch. Basically, I think you are underestimating Jermain Taylor because you do not particularly rate Pavlik.

                    Again, I cannot see Froch beating either JT or Kessler. I will admit that he would make it more of a competitive fight agaisnt Taylor as Jermain's workrate can desert him at times, but he still gets punished over the 12.
