    A bit of a fantasy match up because it will never happen, but how do you fine people think this fight would pan out.

    They both gave Froch trouble, Groves was winning both fights before getting stopped and Kessler went 1 and 1 with him.

    Both are good athletes but Kessler is past his prime now.

    I personally think Kessler wins by whatever he wants, decision or ko. He's a better pure boxer than Froch and has great countering ability. Doesn't have the most power but he has a very good chin and stamina. Groves has a great skill set with good speed and decent power but he just doesn't have the best ring IQ, he blow's his load a bit too early and he gets pretty chinny when he's tired.

    Even the Kessler of today would KO Groves, who I like but...he's just too chinny.

    Sounds about right to me, I think it would be fun while it lasted.

    Kessler would brutally punish him. Groves is an overrated d level fighter. Froch beating him is no big deal. Groves is sh*t, doesnt even belong in the same ring as kessler
