    Even though Bute was greatly overrated, it was a do or die fight for Froch's career.
    I lean towards Pascal to be honest. He went on to become LH champion and I think he'll beat Bute this December if the fight goes ahead.

    Pascal v Kessler would be (or would have been) an interesting fight.

        his best win is either between Bute - Kessler....

        Although the Taylor fight was the most significant in that it changed his career, not many people would dare to travel for their first defense, and the fact he pulled it out, even though he didn't put in his best performance, kinda went on to sum up his career path, opened so many doors for him, and others others in the end, he could of put some money in the bank, few easy defences much like Cleverly, and dare I say Calzaghe...

          Bute for me.

          Pascal was the best fight though, modern day classic IMO

            The Bute win and its not even close.........

            Froch has alot of tremendous wins but the Bute fight was a superfight and heavily hyped and the way Froch destroyed a longtime undefeated champ was excellent....

              I don't see how some people can say Bute? I am of romanian nationality and i think he is a great fighter but mentally he isn't there, he folded when he felt froch's power and had the worst gameplan i've ever seen.

                Before the Fight this was a superfight, and Froch put on a superperformance and beat and undefeated champ, and ko'd him in 4..... Spectacular win, and has jumpstarted his career after the ward lost...

                  Going in, Bute was the big favorite. For Froch to demolish him that way was entirely unexpected by the boxing community.

                    I picked Kessler due to the amount of attention it got across the world, it was a fight millions were genuinely interested in..

                    I did nearly pick Bute or Pascal but i just don't think they had the same global impact - Epic fights though!

                      I started to vote for the Bute win which was a very impressive win.Then I remembered that the Kessler win avenged his loss so I voted for the Kessler win with the Bute win a close 2nd place.He fought very well in both of those fights.
