    Kessler is the king. As far as I am concerned, everybody can get in line. That includes Carl "Who the hell has he fought?" Froch.

    Dream scenario Taylor takes care of Froch, which i think he will. And Kessler beats Bute...Then we have a Taylor - Kessler megafight.

    Froch is the Euro Margarito. He's a guy that looks slow and beatable, but he's a lot more talented than he is given credit for. If Kessler ends up fighting Berrio or Manfredo, I'm going to lose a lot of respect for him.

    Kessler was already scheduled to fight for the WBA belt around that time.

    Slow down, chief.

    Margarito destroyed Miguel Cotto.

    Froch just eeked by Jean Pascal.

    BIG difference.

    Bring on Abraham for Froch...Arthur has even got better handspeed and footwork than the so-called "Cobra" - and given Froch's defence, he might think to get away with his chin but will find out soon that some fists can teach you class and world-class...

    Did you read my post? I said that they were both slow and look beatable but are both more talented than they are given credit for. Nowhere did I compare Froch's win over Pascal to Margo's win over Cotto.

    he didnt just eek past at all. he won the fight pretty clearly in the end, in what was a highly enjoyable scrap. and that pascal is a good fighter, he'd beat most other SMW

    the funny thing is if kessler beats froch !! peopel say who had Froch ever beat..

    if he beats hopkins people say he was to old..

    If he beats Bute peopel say say weel ofcoruse he beat andrede clearly so ofcource he would beat Bute.

    if he beats palvik? well old man hopkins did that to

    and so on and so on

    I like kessler and hope he staps up and fights the big names but who are they??

    Kessler doesn't care about what people think. Otherwise, he would never have fought Sartison or Haussler. Forget all the excuses, just get in the ring and fight. Calzaghe has already proved that you can build a Hall of Fame career by dominating a mediocre division. If Kessler is as good as he's made out to be, he and his team need to work hard to clean out the division.

    Nah 168 is full of new talent, none of the top 10s have really fought many names, except for Taylor who beat Hop other than that its a new division.

    I dont think Hennesey will risk Carl against Kessler in his first defence, I expect him to play it safe if he can help it, though if he gets Jermain Taylor the all power to him.

    I have more faith is Kess' ability than I do in his managment, a fight with Taylor, Bute or Froch would be perfect. Abraham and Inkin are also good choices but there is too much politics there.
