    Yeah, they are perfectly matched..In the same mold as Pac/JMM and Gatti/Ward..Maybe not as high profile as those fights, but similar nonetheless.

        Exactly,however i do think Kessler at his best would beat Froch,well he did 3 years ago,his legs and balance looked a little off tonight

          That is a good point. Reality is, Froch wasn't fighting at this world level around the age of 27-28 years old so it's impossible to tell.

          I don't think there would ever have been a blow-out win between these two fighters.

            Calzaghe is so overrated...Chad Dawson made Hopkins look average yet Calzaghe struggled and arguably lost to Hopkins.

              Yes, i agree. I was impressed with his chin tonight, though..Kessler that is as well as Froch's..I think even Kesslers chin is almost if not as good as Froch's it just doesn't get the same attention as Froch's if that makes sense? lol Only time i have ever really seen Kessler visibly hurt was in the Joe C fight believe it or not..Forget the round but it was a bodyshot landed by Joe. The Green knockdown didn't hurt him i didn't think..More flash kd...Froch stunned him tonight a few times, but i think it was more Kessler just being worn out. Just me, though.

                Styles make fights..Did i say styles make fights? lol Dawson has great length. Not everybody has Dawsons length.

                  Too be honest i was more impressed with Froch's chin,i think Kessler is the bigger puncher and he landed some clean,brutal counters that made me wince,especially in the 11th

                    Yeah, i forget the round, but the left hook he landed woulda dropped most every other 168 pounder..Vicious shot.

                      It seems when you hit Froch it just pisses him off even more..The guy has incredible will to win. His will and drive to win impresses me.
