    If Carl Froch beats Kessler; can he make a case of being SMW ATG

    First, I personally don’t mind seeing Froch win the super Six, he is favour after Dirrell regardless what happened in Nottingham.
    I think if Froch beats Kessler he has the right to be called one of the SMW ATG. Not a boxing ATG but just in that division. I know Froch is very unskilled, however he makes that up in determination and heart.

    If we really look at Calzaghe’s legacy. He has only beaten two prime fighters at SMW. And only one is at least worth mentioning Kessler not Lacy. If you look at Froch’s resume it’s pretty good and stacked already.

    KO win over Taylor. Taylor is a better win than Calzaghe’s win over Lacy. Since Taylor has beaten Lacy at SMW. Even Froch win over Pascal is better than Lacy. Since Pascal moved up and won a title at 175. Also now he has Dirrell name on his resume as well. Dirrell IMO is going to something special, I rate him highly but needs to beat AA to become a recognized name on Froch’s resume

    Now let’s Froch beats Kessler. That another solid name on his resume.
    Don’t really count Calzaghe’s win over Eubank. Since Eubank was 4-2 coming into the fight and also he entered a two week weight draining regime just to make weight. He was planning to fight for a title at 175

    If Froch beats Kessler does he have a case being an ATG at SMW with names like Dirrel,Kessler,Taylor,Pacal. All prime except Taylor(Maybe)

        yea, he'd have pascal, dirrell, taylor and kessler

        that's pretty good, not an ATG, best supermiddleweight can be argued

        calzaghe is considered the best SMW ever just from beating kessler and lacy, so...

            If Froch beats Kessler then......well, yeah.

            Pascal,Taylor,Dirrel and Kessler.

            In four fights = sick.

            Dirrell is a weird one, but he stuck in there. And it was not really a gift. Dirrell didn't step on the gas and only got brave in the late rounds. It goes down as a Froch win and I don't have too much beef with it.

            Kessler should absolutely smash Froch though. Absolutely.

            If he doesn't, maybe he just ain't that good.

                No,not close.

                I don't think he'd be the best SMW right now.

                    Now hold up.....................wasn't nearly everyone on here calling Kessler a washed up hype job not more than a month ago because Ward beat him and saying that Calzaghe's resume was trash because Kessler was a bum? Now though, if the "Garden Snake" beats him he will be catapulted into the ATG status for beating the same over rated guy? Man, that doesn't seem to mesh well with sense to me.
