    • Sturm
    • Abraham
    • Kessler
    • Balsay
    Once he has cleaned up in Germany he can then head to Canada

    And by the way:Mikkel Kessler is from denmark,and he have NOTHING to do with germany.He has been fighting in germany,maybe that´s what confusing some..
    He is a proud dane.
    But he lives in monaco.
    But trains in denmark..

    And IMO,carl froch will not be able to beat Kessler...he is to slow,and have a poor defence.
    But we must see...

    He loses to Sturm by wide UD, to Abraham and Kessler by KO, Balzay no idea but probably also UD loss. Against Sturm he has the lucky shot option like everyone, because Sturm will go down when hit flush. Vs. the others he doesn't, none of them fades like Taylor, unless injured.

    I'd prob pick Froch over all of them.

    IMO.
    Sturm is ready to be taken.
    Abraham will prove to be a small 168lbs.
    Kessler is M.I.A.

    (I'll excude Balsay, have not seen his fights to comment)

    Kessler ain't German based.
    Anyway I'd favor Kessler and Abraham to beat him and would be very interesting fights with the other 2.

    Abraham and Sturm are not only German-based, the ARE German.
    But it's a bit unfair because you are comparing MWs to a big SMW in Froch.
    He would probably KO Sturm, have a closish fight Abraham, and lose to Kessler unless he knocks him out with a lucky punch.

    Froch can't beat Kessler, that's ridiculous, 120-108 for Kessler. Abraham would in all probability knock him out cold, Froch is much too easy to hit for a heavy banger like Abraham. He would knock out Sturm and maybe Balzsay.

    Kessler and AA both knock him out, no question about it.
    Sturm probably UD's him but Froch has a punchers chance there.

    I do not know Balsay.

    And Ronnie .. how is AA German when he was born in Armenia?

    It's not so easy to hit Sturm when that one concentrates on not being hit. Many fighters completely failed to connect ANY punch on him before he had that stupid idea to trade to please the crowd. The Sylvester fight has shown that he is still capable to do it, since that one really didn't get in a single meaningfull punch in 12 rounds, and Sylvester is a stiff punching orthodox workman type who does not fail that much in his other fights (see Asikainen etc.). Also Oscar did not land a single punch to Sturms face, but that was the fast non-crowd-pleasing version.

    Both have a german passport and speak german comparably well (having lived here a long time). But Abraham is armenian and Sturm bosnian by birth.

    Froch knocks out Kessler. Froch would knock out Dawson.
