Carl Froch in talks with Bute and KESSLER

Either fight would be great.

 

I would back Froch against Bute certainly.

As for him vs Kessler...... :verysad

Bad style matchup. I think he would be stood on his head for the most part, possibly stopped late with one of those uppercuts.

 

Proves that the super-middleweight division is an exciting one. Shame Calzaghe came before this.

 

^^^^^^^Fixed^^^^^^

 

That was within the last 2-3 years. Not when Calzaghe was in his prime, which is when he should have been putting on his best performances.

 

Froch will handle Bute and grab another belt. He won't look good doing it though.
If he fights Kessler after, that will be the end of his run and the end of holding any belts.

If Taylor can put Froch down then Kessler can do it for the count no problem. You need a defence against Kessler or the movement and agility of Calzaghe. They are both sorely missing. I like Froch, his heart, attitude and his intelligence out of the ring
but facing Kessler is never going to be the right move.

I really hope Froch gets the Kessler fight, Calzaghe's win over him will turn from good to great and the Froch v Calzaghe issues will need never be brought up again. I'm a fan of both i just see a vast gulf of difference between the two.

 

This is why I like Froch. Calzaghe waited until his 41st fight to fight for a world title, defended it once, had a good win against Kessler, beat a couple of 40 year olds then retired. Froch won a title in his 24th fight then went straight over to the States and knocked out Taylor and now they are seriously after Bute or Kessler. It's the same with Haye. They are both so different from the typical British fighter who just wants to avoid losing at all costs.

 

you have gotta love Froch.

 

Bout time he gets exposed.

 

I agree, Froch has the right attitude, take on the big boys now. He's done all the substandard opps out there, now try the best.

 

Froch is quality, great for the sport. He talks straight and goes about his business well. Sadly a by-product of that is that he will never get the same exposure as a guy with no more ability but a willingness to rip mugs off...anyway more about that later.
I'd make him a big outsider against Calzaghe even now, a decent outsider against Kessler and a small favourite over Bute. Would be backing him all the way in all mind you....even though I really like Kessler too.

 

I feel the last few years of his career were his prime. More complete fighter.

Impressive talk from Froch tho.
