    Me to bro -- Froch has done nothing to prove he belongs in the ring with any of the guys he has been yapping about; Kessler, Calzaghe, Taylor, Pavlik, et.

    Froch needs to fight some guys like Miranda, Bika, Zuniga, et. Give him two decent wins over that level of fighter, and he has some braggin' rights. However, I would not be surprised if it turned out like Giovanni Lorenzo who was calling out Pavlik, Abraham, and Sturm, and then got whooped by Marquez:think

    I would pick the following to beat Froch right now:
    Kessler
    Taylor
    Bute
    Andrade
    Bika
    Zuniga
    Miranda

    Miranda is a 50-50 fight and he beats Zuniga.

    He's overrated like hell but fortunately for Froch fans, the guy has a chin and power, he's ambitious and he'll take risks in the ring and as such, he can go a long way, even if he's half as good as they think he is.

    Berrio too. He agreed to fight him then backed out sharpish.

    He did not agree to fight him. Why would he, at 2 weeks' notice? Just because it would have suited Froch?:roll:

    Kessler thrashes Froch.

    Bute wins by comfortable UD provided he can avoid being tagged, but it is a pick em fight, because I think Froch has a very very good chance of catching him and believe he bangs.

    Taylor - could win on points, but I wouldn't be at all shocked if he got stopped. He would win the rounds he boxed in, until he got tagged. Could go either way, Jermaine is much the better boxer, but then he was against Pavlik too.

    Andrade...possibly. I think Andrade would just outwork Froch actually and win on points.

    Bika...no chance.

    Zuniga...:lol: :lol: PLEASE. When will you Pavlik fans stop trying to pretend like Zuniga is anything but a C- standard fighter?

    Miranda - no chance. Gets sparked out within 3 rounds, as they both stand and trade.
