    Did you not see Kessler against Perdomo?

    He's a shell of himself.

    I'd take Calzaghe's win over Eubank then any of Froch's wins.

      Not as adequately as Larry's thread about Zab being as great as Oscar.



      Honestly is this thread that absurd? I mean I voted Joe, on the basis of the Bernard win, but aside from that there isn't a lot in it is there? I mean Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, these are very good wins. I think Froch has a very good resume, and bearing Kessler would add significantly to that again.

      Not that bad a thread IMO.

                  You forgot to add shot-Robin Reid to that list!

                  How could we forget about that great win on Froch's resume?

                    Kessler is not the fighter now that he was a few years ago, but this weekend is kind of an all or nothing fight for him. I think he'll be really up for this one and is still a very tough opponent. I got Froch in the late rounds but if he pulls it off he still deserves a lot of credit, if not quite the same amount that Calzaghe got. That to me is fair.

                    The Super Six is just great for boxing because all these top S Mweights are fighting each other without any **** 'filler' fights in between.

                    I know there are some issues with people pulling out and what not, but I think overall it's been a success and showtime should try and apply this format to other divisions. Imagine a welterweight version of the Super Six. Mouthwatering!

                      I think Froch's wins over Pascal/Taylor are his best. Pascal stood with him and tried to slug though, gave us a great fight. But I don't think anyone without a great amount of power is going to beat Froch at a slugging contest.

                      Taylor was a good win too. Froch started to pick up in the later half of the fight and put everything into the last round and it showed.

                      Not even going to touch the Dirrell win.

                      Froch's skills are underrated and his heart is tremendous. But I don't think he's ever going to compete with Calzaghe's resume.

                      If he beats Kessler, he gets a step closer.
