Carl Froch in talks with Bute and KESSLER

Kessler will kill him and force people to take notice

 

Anybody but Hopkins is fine with me. See how long the Carl Froch Express Train can keep on rolling.

 

I really hope it's Bute first. Too early for Kessler imo.

 

I think Bute will outbox Carl, but I also think Bute cant handle pressure for 12 rounds.

It could well be a carbon copy of Froch Taylor.

 

Great to see a fighter like Froch, he's rapidly becoming the top boy of British boxing and deserves huge kudos if either of these fights happens.

If you can't get Calzaghe in the ring to show who's the best man then building a resume that's better is as good a way as any.

I'm not saying the Cobra is better or would beat Kessler or Bute but that's not really the point is it. No-one on ESB would be calling on him to defend against some Afrobum or reality TV star so win or lose Froch is the man.

If these fights do come off I wonder where they'd be, all pull pretty decent crowds and Kessler and Froch have shown that they're prepared to travel. If its overseas we've got to get more people over to see it after Chinny and David UK flew the flag last time.

 

Bute

 

Bute could embarrass Froch, but the Andrade fight should give him some confidence. He has to put Bute under pressure.

Kessler would be an even tougher fight.

Either fight is great for the fans, though. Props to Froch for wanting to fight the best.

 

Other than the fight being fought in Canada with a completely bias Referee like MArlon B Wright who stops the fight, docks points or generally screws Froch up - i just cant see how Bute can win it.

He covers up when under fire - Froch will put it on him from the outset.

 

Mikkel Kesslers promoter Bettina Palle told B.T (A danish news paper) that she has been considering calling Canada to set up a fight between Lucian Bute and Mikkel Kessler for Bute's IBF title.. Kessler himself said he's "Ready for anyone, anywhere". I think Froch is better for Bute right now and Kessler after.:bbb:bbb

 

I feel he edges out Bute BUT loses to Kessler in a big way...

 

:good..........and as for Hopkins avoid like the plague..the 'ol fox still has gas in his tank

 

Is anybody going to inform me why you all love Kessler and talk about him like hes Sugar Ray Leonard ??
Ive seen him beat an old Beyer, beat Andrade on points and lose comfortably against Joe Calzaghe .. Were is this love coming from ??

Carl Froch has a great chance of beating Kessler. Kessler has never beaten anybody of any note, Andrade was a decent guy but nothing special, he was certainly no Jermain Taylor so Froch shouldnt be unduly worried.
You guys love Kessler because he gave Joe a good fight but Robin Reid gave Joe an even better fight and was far closer to defeating him ..
Kessler is a good fighter but in no way has he proved he can beat a top fighter, wereas Froch has beaten Taylor .. If i was Froch i'd do all i can to get Kessler to this country, his name is still recognised from the Calzaghe fight and its very winnable fight for Froch ..

Could someone please explain to me why Kessler is considered such an all star, brilliant fighter on this forum ?? Im not being sarcastic, i'd just like to know what people are basing this on ?? Whenever i watch Calzaghe v Kessler, Joe wins comfortably by 4 or 5 rounds, it aint even close ..

 

I'd like to see Kessler fight Bute.

 

I'm not sure. The less he seems to fight the better he seems to get.
