    your basing this on one fight....

    calzaghe feather fisted?? He isnt...it looks like that but it isnt that...did you ever get a look at lacy after the fight....yep feathers right there....

    Kessler has vastly better boxing skills and footwork then 'frock'

    Yes Kessler look average against Joe C but so did hops ....i mean really who has look really good against Joe??

    I think you should watch more of Kesslers fights

    I dont get why Kessler gets so much credit on this site...The guy dont fight anyone, he had one big fight and lost it, yet he can beat everyone 175 and down...I just dont see it, I see a guy that is very robotic, fairly slow, and uninterested in fighting elite fighters.

    **** Kessler.

    Good . . . there's no otherway to get to the top . . . but to fight fighters higher than him. Taking risks and being succesful is the only way to go.

    Good luck! I hope it happens.

    Kessler was swinging for the fence in the last round.

    So, in other words, you feel Froch can handle Kessler? (just to clarify)

    Kessler has bad stamina:patsch

    Excuse me, but the 12th round was one of his best rounds in a fight with Joe ****ing Calzaghe; a guy who often wins fights based on his ability to crank up the pace and keep it cranked.

    Feather fisted Joe made Hopkins wish it was over by round 9.
    I would have DQ'd Hopkins for his BS in the last 4 rounds.

    People have to many misconceptions about power.
    You have people like Taylor, Haye, Peter and others who have quick power because they put everything they have into a single punch. Then you have people who are heavy handed. Pavlik,and Froch are 2 of these. They will beat you down. Then you have the very few who have 1 punch KO power. Like Randal Bailey, Tzyu, etc. You do also have people who are light handed. Calderon, Malignaggi etc.
    Calzaghe was 32 out of 46.
    I wouldn't call that light handed.
    I put him in the heavy handed area. I think he just enjoyed beating people up. In his first 25 fights he had 23 KO's. Forch only has 20 in 25 fights but you think he is a monster puncher. What is the difference?

    People have already said it - those who would pick Froch to beat Kessler should stay away from the bookies.

    They can make stupid bets with me instead, I could use some easy money.

    I think it would be too close to call Froch V Kessler is one i'd def want a ticket for.
    As for Kessler having no Stamina!!!!!! on the night in the arena me & a few round me thought Calzaghe v Kessler was too close to call.

    i think Kesslers straight forward, square on style suits Froch's big right hands.. he'd get hit a lot.. by a massive punching knockout atist

    people over look kessler as a monster, but i'd give froch a good chance of winning

    kessler got hurt by a slap of calzaghe, if he gets hit clean enough times by froch he'll go down.........


    id expect kessler to win, but froch is a massive underdog
