    oh please.

    Taylor-Kessler please.
    Indeed Taylor-Kessler FTW.

    But if Froch is impressive in KO'ing Taylor tonight surely Froch-Kessler would be a mouthwatering prospect.

      I remain hesitant. Let's wait and hear what Froch says after the Taylor-fight (if he wins). I'm still reluctant to think that he will mention Kessler as part of his immidiate plans. I think he's more likely to call out Bute.
      when the froch/taylor fight was made froch turned around and said that he would take on kess after taylor, that really surprised me because kess imo would beat him and beat him bad, but froch is the sort of fighter who is chasing the big fights and i tip my hat to him.

      recently (a few weeks ago) he has changed his tune i remeber reading that he said after taylor he wanted bute, maybe froch saw sense and saw that kes was too much for him, maybe kess's management fiasco put him off or maybe he just felt as though bute was as big a fight without as much risk.

      personally i think whoever wins this fight will go for bute, he is the safer option and his management is not all over the place so maybe a quicker deal will be reached. i can see froch looking to take on kess, taylor imo will avoid that fight, this is one of the reasons i want froch to win because i know he will give kess a fight.

      i think if kess wants a fight with froch he needs to play the 'calzaghe card', tell him that if he wants to emerge out of calzaghe's shadow he needs to take on calzaghes most dangerous opponent. heck calzaghe might even make a few statements to the press as it would add to his legacy is kess secures the belts.

        Many people thought Taylor wouldn't fight Froch either but look what happened.

Look at the evidence, he chose to fight Lacy in an eliminator when he could have fought Froch for the actual belt instead of Pascal and now he doesn't want to seem to fight for the belt again. It seems like ducking to me and I say again, I do not like Froch.

        Taylor is very much ducking him, and using the 'you're unknown' tag as his defence. It's quite laughable.

        Come on BAD INTENTIONS put up or shut up or fcuk off.

        *****.

          True, he would really establish himself as a world-class fighter with a win over Taylor, so then a fight with Kessler would be huge. But I can't imagine Froch winning, especially since the fight is in the US.

              Yeah. Dibella basically said Kessler was to dangerous for Jermain.

              Still I find it more likely that Froch would take on Kessler as stated by hookoutofhell.

                I doubt that a Froch win would depend on the judges. Froch KO's Taylor or gets schooled IMO.

                  if i was taylor, kessler or bute i would consider froch to be the best fight, he brings the WBC crown is easy to hit, easy to out box and although he has a punch and a good chin he is still the weakest titlist out of all the SMW's.

                  kessler is the hardest fight in the division, then its bute and taylor who are on the same level right now with the likes of bika, froch and andrade below them.

                    Froch isn't a weak title holder IMO. He posses stamina, a chin and punching power...... against Taylor that is all you need.

                      true, true - im expecting a whitewash win for tayor.

                      froch may have his moments he might hurt taylor and if he does i think he'll finish him but taylors jab and speed is too much, for every 2 punches that froch lands taylor will land 4.
