      He beats both of them. But only in his dreams.

          I really don't think he will, Kessler and Taylor beats the **** out of him.
          The only thing Froch has is chin and decent power.
          Taylor I think will be a pretty easy fight for Froch as long as he stays smart..He will out think Taylor and stop him

          Kessler on the other hand has much more Boxing smarts than Taylor.. is naturally bigger... and Froch has had trouble in the past with clever boxers who throw good straight hands(see Mathew Barney) SO I can't see froch beating Kessler save for scoring a KO in a fight he would be behind on the cards from the get go...

            i can see taylor getting KO'ed by froch, taylor is a good fighter but imo froch will tag him at least once and when he does he wont let up. taylor is quick and has good snap but not enough to keep froch off him, i see froch winning with stalk stun kill mentality.

            kess on the other hand is a different animal.

              I've always favoured both Taylor and Kessler to beat Froch. I just think they are both too good technically and will be able to box their way to decision wins. However I definately give the Cobra the chance of pulling the upset. His Power and chin make him a extremely tough fight for anyone at SMW. Either fight would be a great matchup and i'd love to watch them both.

                He wont. But he has a punchers chance. Still he couldn't stop Pascal so he's power may not be as awesome as advertised.

                  maybe pascal just has an awesome chin, or maybe you're right and frochs power isn't really all that against the big guns.

                    Any top fighter is expected to KO the guys Froch KO'd. Until he stops someome a little more "with it" than a shot Robin Reid, I'm not all that impressed.

                    I'm not saying he doesn't have pop, because it's obvious he does (one of the few things he's got going for him), I'm just doubtful that it's all that it's hyped to be.

                      Cong****, you got called a "biased yank" for that comment. How does saying Kessler beats Froch constitute an opinion influenced by blind U.S. nationalism? Not EVERY American opinion is based upon national heritage. No one said Froch was a terrible fighter. The guy put on one of the top 5 shows in 2008 against Pascal. He just doesn't beat Taylor of Kessler. Froch beats a whole hell of a lot of fighters... he just doesn't have the tools to beat Taylor of Kessler.
