    He's calling out everyone in sight, though. Must be looking for paydays if anything else.

    Being the career rapist that he is...

      Sure set the stage for Calzaghe to retire and seems to have crippled Pavlik's career, Winky Wright and Tarver as well.

      Froch is certainly a more realistically winnable fight than say David Haye.

        I think Kessler is going to beat Froch in the same fashion Ward beat Kessler. Kessler couldn't deal with Ward's speed, Froch is the exact opposite of Ward. Froch is slow, plodding, and looks like he hasn't imbraced proper technique.

          I have a feeling kessler wins for some reason, I hate watching both these guys but after his loss to ward I feel he will come out gunning, not that i will care either way but if i were to pick i'd ride with Kessler on this fight...of the Euro's I like him best maybe lmao.

            I have no doubt in my mind that Haye would murder Hopkins (and that's not Haye fanboyism talking - it's just the most plausible boxing scenario most can envisage), but I've always maintained that Hopkins would in turn embarrass Froch over 12.

            How soon before we hear Hopkins stake his own claim to fighting Calzaghe if the latter returns, I wonder...

              something tells me I might be making the same exact mistake I made in the Martinez-Pavlik fight, I picked Pavlik knowing Martinez was the more skilled opponent but for some reason I see Froch winning, even though I know Kessler has the most skills I just think Froch's power will be too much. Froch may not be the most skilled guy but he is a full 12 round threat and I think too much for Kessler. I like Mikkel and I admit between the pair he has the most skills but I don't think he will be able to out do Froch in a shoot fight which is what this fight will be, I see this going like Froch-Pascal, a 12 round TOUGH fight for both men with Carl Froch's hand raised at the end.. anyone wanna bet?

                I can't see Kessler surviving 12 rounds. Froch will stop him.
