    Me too...:nut

    It will be great if it is... With talk of PBF v Pac Man early in the year and the Hayemaker will be fighting in Las Vegas by the end of the year, it could be a busy year for the fans if the fights come off...:good

    Come on the Cobra, deserves to be given more credit especially from the states in my opinion.

    I agree with you but he has not made it easy for himself and his last two fights have had mixed reviews... He was very fortunate with his late KO of Taylor...

    I think that he is more than capable of standing Froch on his head... But he is also capable of getting drawn into the wrong kind of fight too...

    I hope he smokes the boots off Kessler...:good

    I would have said the old Kess beats Froch.....however dont know if Ward was just **** hot or Kess has fallen off the pace.

    I guess we will see early next year....its going to be a huge fight :good

    Thats true and i agree that his last two fights especially Dirrell was a bit dubious, but all credit to Froch he will fight anyone, talks alot, technically not great and over-rates himself but i like him and would really be pleased to see him win the super-six.

    If he beats Kessler you know what the critics are going to say.

    I'll take Kessler, the Ward loss doesn't mean he's turned to **** overnight.

    That's a fair point Gaz...if Froch gets drawn into a slugfest it maybe his downfall... If he boxes his own fight I think he is more than capable of taking a UD...

    Somehow, I think he will get drawn in... I hope I am wrong...:yep

    Froch isn't going to beat Ward in this tournament and he'll struggle with all of them to an extent... but he's not as limited as people make out. I think he'll beat Kessler, because the Dane took a bog jolt to his confidence in the Calzaghe fight (and now this far more impressive beating) and Froch has shown an ability to adapt against both Pascal and Taylor. Both times he altered things slightly midway through... and one thing we do know about Kessler is that he needs to be able to predict his opponent's moves.

    Dont write Kessler off just yet, styles make fights, Kessler could look brilliant against Froch, i personally doubt it simply because Froch is an awkward character. Froch never looks good but hes strong, he has power and he's got a good chin .. This fight will be very interesting, but lets not make out 'the old Kessler' was a brilliant fighter but now hes a bum, hes not a bum and he was never a great fighter, i'd say the same about Froch ..

    Froch should box him. Don't chase Mikkel or he'll eat the straight shots. Let Kessler come to him and feed him that heavy right hand. Mikkel hasn't fought a puncher like Carl yet!
