    I like both. Kessler is a better fighter though.

    Bute is hardly going to improve and develop by fighting guys that are past it like Joppy, is he? If he's as good as a lot of people are making out, you included, why not step up the level of opposition rather than going in the other direction? It just doesn't make sense to me and is a sign that he and/or his team perhaps doesn't fully believe in him (he's nearly 28 remember, almost the same age as Kessler).

    I agree that Calzaghe would be a step too far for Bute, he's the man at 168, but Kessler? People are overestimating Kessler, like he's some sort of God, when the only good opponent he's beaten is Mundine almost 3 years ago. Lucas, Beyer and Andrade are not IMO elite fighters.

    Bute is not ready for Kessler. Bute is very good but needs to improve a lot to give Kessler - a borderline elite fighter - a close fight.

    There was a point recently where almost every part of the forum I browsed I came across one of your Froch threads!

    Decebal is in fact a closet Froch fan, he's just in denial :lol:

    :D

    I WILL be a fan if he does well against Inkin and steps it up in his next couple of fights afterwards. I will be a big fan if he takes on Kessler within two fights of Inkin...:deal

    As a Brit I'd support Froch but to be honest I wouldn't be heartbroken (or even surprised) if Kessler gave him a lesson.

    KO power, great defence, good stamina = easy win for Froch




    NOT.

    I think it is a bit pathetic when a fanboy of one fights (i.e. Calzaghe) dislike another boxer merely because they are a threat.

    Froch is British, I too am British so I will always cheer him on against a foreign opponent. Whether or not I'd pay money to attend is a different matter though.
