    The kessler win is barely a step-up from win cotto beat margs... both kessler and margs were past their prime..... in kessler's prime he beat froch in his prime...

      Not his fault Froch implemented his gameplan better. Froch's victory over Bute was momentus

        Absolutely terrible comparison.

          I would say Bute, he was still fresh and in his prime (though he was ridiculously overrated and had a china chin). Kessler is a close second, but he was clearly well past his best. Pascal was extremely green and was never any good to begin with...

              Between Pascal, Bute or Kessler I would say.

              Taylor and Abraham were 2 fights he was a relatively wide betting underdog in.
              Froch was pretty (completely in the States) unknown back then, the Taylor win was the one that first put him in the map. Taylor and Abraham were both career middleweights and neither were ever any good at super middleweight.

              Abraham's best win or 'achievement' at middleweight may very well be his 12th round stoppage of Taylor. When you remove his tune-up and stay busy fights, Abraham's record at 168 probably reads 2-4 (1 KOBY).

              Taylor's record at 168-170 is 1-3(2 KOBY) I think if you include the Pavlik II fight. His best performance at 168 was probably his loss to Froch where he actually had him hurt and down in the 3rd and was 3-4 points up on the cards going into the 12th.

              Froch's best win is definitely between Bute and Kessler.
