If Froch were to beat Kessler followed by Abraham will you give him his dues?

    I think AA has the perfect style for Froch he is slow and Froch may be able to land a few bombs.

    Knocking out AA is a different matter and we will really see how good the Carl Froch chin is if AA connects with one of those right hands:blackeye

    Froch like him or hate him deserves his dues now. He beat an undefeated now WBC LHW champ Pascal, defended against Taylor away, defended against undefeated A Dirrell and his fight before Pascal was against an unknown but undefeated fighter. His next defence is away to Kessler, its all very commendable. I thought the fight with Dirrell could have gone either way, but the reports I read in the Ring mag and Boxing news both had Froch winning.
    I think if Kesslers mind is not right after the loss to Ward, think Froch could get a close maybe debatable decision, but think with Abraham he might lose a decision, I think AA will have a tight guard where Froch wont be able to land to clean and then AA will come out of his shell to land some clean shots enough to get a close UD.
    But for what Froch has done so far does deserve credit

    First, I would give Froch huge props if he just beats Kessler, even more if he beats Abraham as well.

    And I think Abraham is the worst matchup for Froch. The fighter to beat Abraham will be one to avoid his punches effectively or one with a chin like Hagler or Hopkins. A fighter whose best assets are determination and power but who is easy to hit will always favor Abraham.

    I would be suprised if Froch beat anyone else in the tournament besides Taylor.

    If he beats one of them by KO or close decision I'll write it off as luck, but if he beats them both I'll definitely rate him up at the top.

    ofcourse he would. he is getting mad props from me already... He beated pascall, taylor and dirrel in a row.. but to be hounest, if the up or under would be on he winning 1 of these 2 fights, i´ll bet on the under.. i don´t see him beating kessler or abraham, let alone both,... especially not on away turf..

    I know the Kessler fight is in Copenhagen (I'm going) but not sure the Abrahams fight is decided yet.

    Assuming Froch wins the Kessler fight (so he still has the belt) I don't imagine that the fight would be outside the UK.

    The AA fight is in the US, but I can't remember where it takes place exactly.

    Anyways...this man will win:

    If they're real wins over Kessler and Abraham, then yes absolutely.

    If they're dubious wins of the kind he's been picking up like flypaper lately...well...

    (ie, skin-of-his-teeth win over Taylor, seconds away from losing on points - or a questionable nod in an ugly affair where awarding him rounds and thereby tacitly acknowleding his work as "effective" is a bitter pill to swallow...)

    I give Froch better chance of beating AA than beating Kessler
    but I do doubt Froch can beat them

    Froch to win the Super 6. Which leads to Calzaghe's Legacy taking a bigger hit would be my favorite outcome
