    Alright, everyone cool it. Yes, Froch really is that tough and he is the # 1 Ranked SMW in the World.

    "He took the easy option," Froch sneers. "Calzaghe now says he's going to give Kessler tips on how to beat me. It's sad. He's out the circle and looking in, thinking, 'I'm not part of this any more."

    Can you beleive that. Look at that turncoat Calzaghe! He is helping the enemy out! :-(

    As much as I hate to admit it ..I think that Kessler´s done..to me its obvious he has slowed down..his hands-speed is slower and his moveability in the ring is alot worse these days. After the fight against Ward they tried to analyze what went wrong and they mentioned his sparring wasnt good enough (he sparred with Otis Griffin) Before the Kessler vs. Calzaghe fight Kessler sparred with Sakio Bika and Brian Magee - high quality sparring. What did Kessler and his camp do this time after they admitted sparring was wrong last time? - they tried to keep all his training a secret which is very uncommen from Kessler´s camp, and the only one of Kessler sparring partner´s that has been mentioned is Lolenga Mock...hmm and he should be better than Otis Griffin ?...nah don´t think so. So here is the big question why doesn´t Kessler want high quality sparring ??? Is he too injured to be able to spar with high quality opponents or is it because he doesn´t want his ass kicked in sparring...unfortunately these are the only 2 arguments that makes sence. Kessler claims he has learned alot of new things with his new coach, but I doubt he larned more than a few things afterall he was with Richard Olsen for almost 20 years and he had the new coach a few months...go figure.
    I would really like to see Kessler win this fight, but everything points to the opposite happening. Froch will be too strong-willed for Kessler and Kessler has never in his career faced a big puncher like Carl...im afraid Kessler is suffering his first KO loss in this one.

    I don't think Froch is such a great boxer, but I do enjoy listening to him run amok with his own brand of madness.

    It's because the quality of sparring is determined by the quality of the opponent.

    He sparred Patrick Reinhard Nielsen, Lolenga Mock and two foreign fighters that I haven't been able to get the names of.
    Patrick Reinhard is a Danish middleweight prospect. He's very technically gifted and is not the kind of fighter Kessler need to spar to prepare for Froch. Lolenga Mock is no where near the quality that Froch has so that's no good either.
    The question is who the two other fighters were. Are they just random nobodies or did Montoya bring them in specifically for this fight?

    I missed this article, can someone post it for me please??

    As for Carl, I kinda understand his frustration. In the pasr year or so, he's shown far more ambition and guts than Calzaghe did his whole career. He's competing with best Super Middle-weights in the world in a very tough competition, and is getting very little recognition from the British public.

    But with that said, constantly talking trash about other British fighters doesn't make him look too good. I can understand you not liking Calzaghe as he was in your division (and he's a d*ck-head too), but the likes of Khan have nothing to do with you, and have never spoken a word about you. Hating on them just makes you out to be a bitter git.

    Froch is a very intelligent man. Absolutely spot on with his views on medicine. Doesn't surprise me though, as he doesn't come across as a 'sheep' type.

    His views are only spot on until he gets something that absolutely needs prescribed medication. Everyone needs something at some point, its not intelligent to pretend you don't, its actually quite ignorant. Not that I don't understand the mentality, I do, I think its a good one, in moderation.

    It's all about objectivity. Having the knowedge to make a decision on something regardless of whether it is from the alternative or mainstream medicine.

    Objectivity today is seriously lacking because most people only know one way to deal with things i.e getting drugged up.

    :lol:

    No not a sheep at all, instead he buys books by proven frauds who sell magic pendants and promote their own vitamin pill range through their books.
    For £70, Patrick Halford will sell a special healing pendant that has about 2 pence of materials in it and is akin to burying a rabbits foot at full moon.

    The small pox vaccine and polio vaccine have been a right failure haven't they? And thank **** nobody is stupid enough to take penicillin. HIV positive people would be wise to steer clear of anti retrovirals and maybe go with a Ginseng and Echinacea tea and a class of acai juice in the morning.

    Whether he got a book by a proven fraud is totally irrelevant. Way to miss the point.

    He's seen the dangers/worthlessness(in her case) of antibiotics and the importance of diet etc, that's what I'm commending him for. His way of thinking.

    I knew about Kessler sparring with Patrick but i did not think it was relevant to mention coz he only used Patrick Reinhardt Nielsen as a pre-sparring opponent as far as I understood. An 18 year old prospect like him would not be able to pressure Kessler much. I heard about the Kessler camp bringing in 2 sparring partners besides Mock, and I heard one of them should be a russian MW boxer, but I don´t think their names would have been kept a secret if it weren´t nobodies.
