    The blueprint was speed and a stinging jab. Froch has neither.

      He has underrated speed, timing, footwork and defense.

      I think he k.o's Kessler if he fights his usual way.

      He showed none of that in his last fight.

        What are you on about ??? It was Calzaghe and not Ward that laid the blue print on how to beat Kessler with that hold then hit strategy.....Calzaghe beat Kessler first using those same tatics...didnt you hear Tarver say/point that out when he was commentating ??

          Absolutely not, at least doing it in the same manner as Ward and Calzaghe.

          Froch doesn't have the footwork, handspeed, versatility, defense, inside game, ring intelligence and savvy to do it.

            Froch has a good chance to get himself disqualified if he tries to fight like Ward b/c of his kind of movement it will look like intentional for sure...

                froch doesn't have speed or a great jab, true that, but if froch fouls kessler I think it could throw kessler off his rhythym allowing froch to set up his offense.

                ward shut out kessler easy, kessler was calz's toughest fight at 168 lbs... what are you on about?

                i'm not talking about those skillsets, i'm talking about the hold-n-hit and headbutting.

                Froch showed us in the Dirrell fight that he could foul and rough-house w/ the best of them imho.
