    Who does Froch has a better chance of defeating?

    His last three fights have been against opponents that are much quicker than him. He has a chance to look better against more stationary fighters he doesn't have to look for. That could be the one variable that could give him an outside shot at an upset if he gets lucky. Who do you believe he will fair better against? Abraham has the defensive advantage and Kessler has the offensive edge.

    I'm thinking Froch is more likely to KO Kessler and UD Abraham if he were to win

      I don't see how he beats Abraham, I personally think Taylors jab ****s on Froch's jab. Taylor was outboxing froch with Taylors own jab. I'm not too convinced with Kessler being as great as Calzaghe makes him out to be. I mean I can see Ward beating Kessler, will see in Oakland soon enough.

        Both would beat him, but he has a better shot at outhustling and sneaking by Abraham, than outboxing and/or breaking Kessler.

          I was leaning that way then thought if Calzaghe and Sartison can hurt Kessler, I'm sure Froch can do some damage

              AA, based simply on workrate. No way Froch beats Kessler.

                Neither.... having to pick i say he has a better but still close to none chance against AA... even less chances against Mikkel .... and IMO he lost the dirrel fight and the Ward fight will look very similar....

                Even the rematch agains taylor will be really interesting if it ever happens

                  Sartisan is a tough, underrated fighter and is probably better than Froch. Kessler wasn't seriously hurt in that fight anyway.

                  Calzaghe is MUCH better than Froch.

                    I really don't think he stands a chance against either one of them personally.... i wish JC would come back and spank his ass!
