God....anything but Kessler III. Why are people even mentioning that?

Maybe because it's a decider, two great warriors, both of their fights were close, both were legendary.

Now, compare that to James Degale who was just awesome in.......... which fight?

Exactly.

As I remember, last saturday Froch mentioned Kessler, Chavez Jr, DeGale... But I wasn't very attentive...

They weren't "legendary". Completely overrated. Froch won the last fight clearly enough. I thought he won the first one too.

Kessler has literally done **** since then. He has to prove he's actually got something left.

Yes they were. Especially the first one which I was close to ringside for. It was all out war. In the second one both fighters came close to being stopped late on. It would be emphatic if one of them could stop the other.

And Froch didn't win the first fight at all. Froch's propaganda has gone to you I think

Well, degale needs to prove he's at world level then. What about just beating one top 15 guy? Just one.

Kessler-DeGale. Winner gets Froch.

Yeah, I scored the first fight to Kessler. Save Chavez Jr in Vegas, what other big, desirable fight is there for Froch. DeGale is small fry; as Froch said, he just wants a payday.

Kessler would never fight DeGale. He obviously feels like he's on Froch's level since it's 1-1 and they are both 4-5 time world champions and massive PPV stars. Degale is a complete unknown in Denmark and would be horrible for Kessler.

For Froch I think there's the 4 options - Degale, Chavez jr, Kessler and Golovkin. Those are the realistic options.

What propaganda? I thought Froch landed the cleaner shots in the first fight - it could have gone either way. It certainly wasn't a clear victory for anyone whereas the second fight, there was absolutely no question that Froch won.

I'm not that keen on the DeGale fight either. It would be far better than dragging Kessler's corpse out of retirement for a 3rd fight that means absolutely nothing to anyone except you, Kessler and Battling Nelson.

Ideal scenario is that Froch gets the Chavez Jr fight in Vegas.

Kessler vs DeGale is then the perfect interim fight. DeGale would school Kessler and then the Froch fight would be much bigger.
