    Kessler for me has been on the decline for years, anyone who's followed his career since the calzaghe fight knows what i'm talking about, if you watch the first 6-8 rounds of the calzaghe fight. kessler was well rounded had the speed, footwork,workrate, accuracy, co-ordination he was tit for tat with joe for almost 8 rounds. Then calzaghe took over the rest of the fight.

    Since that fight i haven't seen kessler look remotely like his former self, the man has been plagued with injuries, he's not the force he once was. I think his defeats to ward/calzaghe took allot out of him and the injuries he's been in since then has rendered him. Should froch win he'd have beaten the ghost of kessler. Prime kessler died a long time ago

    Yes it will. Kesslers a huge name and still dangerous. Outside of Ward these two are the next best. BOOM

    Of course it will, his hand speed isn't quite as good as it used to be but he can still take a good shot and hit hard, his movement and timing are also still really good, it will still be a massive win if Froch can do it.

    #2 vs #3 Super middleweight in the world is a big win regardless of who they are.

    I kinda' agree. Probably because I've never thought that much of Kessler to begin with, and seeing as though he's declined quite a bit, I think even less of him now. Good fighter and all, but nothing special. An inexperienced, green Ward proved that.

    On paper It's a big one, But I agree It wouldn't see It that way as a Kessler fan I have to be honest he isn't the fighter of old he's a shell of his former self.
