    I think it is close. Due to the super6 they have a lot of similar Level fights. Frochs post super6 career and the Taylor+Pascal fights are (maybe bc of nostalgy) a Little less impressive to me than the 2004-2007 Kessler. I think most People will say Froch though.

    Not sure whether a prime Kessler would've beaten a prime Froch. Kessler in his prime was a very standard 1-2 fighter, nothing special. After his loss to Ward, he got Jimmy Montoya, where he got more variety and started to go after the body more and actually during the rematch he actually showed glimpses of an improved defense and upper body movement, where prime Kessler was like a robot, but a very good one. If Kessler got Jimmy Montoya after the Calzaghe loss, he would been a different fighter today and could've give Ward a real close fight.
