    Just reading Boxing News and there is a part in it where Mick Hennessey, Carl Frochs promoter says Pascal was a harder fight than Kesslerwould be. He says the following:-

    "Kessler's dangerous for 5 rounds. He is more a Light Heavyweightand he cant maintain the pace at 12st. But he is still a harder fight than Calzaghe. Carl will find Calzaghe easy. He finds southpaws easy and he would do a number on both Calzaghe and Kessler.

    Is it me or does this sound deluded?

    Froch went life and death with a guy who was top15 in the 168lbs division, yet he will blow out the number 1 fighters in the 175 and 168 division.

    Froch needs to fight regular and keep his opposition status up. Lets hope the Taylor fight comes off to see just actually where is Froch in the World at 168lbs.

    As for Calzaghe and Kessler i think they would beat Froch pretty comfortably after his struggle with Pascal.

    Yes its delusional in the extreme.

    Kessler can only fight for 5 rounds? That being the case...he must have had an awful struggle with Andrade right? :nut

    He's a clown when talking about his own fighters. Fury jabs like Holmes. Froch beats everybody, despite getting tagged repeatedly by Pascal.

    Hennessy's stock has risen a lot lately, but he is still prone to a brain explosion.

    Kessler would jab Froch to death for 12 rounds, and probably win a very wide UD.

    Now that was funny.

    Even my grandad who knows little about boxing was nearly rolling on the floor.

    He would knock him out.

    Froch hasn't got a chin like Andrade trust me, and thats the punishment he'll sustain. I saw Pascal's punches taking effect on occasions.

    Carl does find southpaws easy though.

    Especially those of the 'shot inactive middleweight called up on three days notice' variety ;)

    Kessler would beat Froch easily, Calzaghe would annihilate Froch.

    He's just bigging up his new golden boy. But in doing that he's talking out of his arse.

    I am just so angry I could cry! - You guys dont know jack**** about anything! - but that's not what I'm crying about. What i'm crying about is that I just read in a Danish newspaper that none are willing to meet Kessler in 09! Dawson, Froch, Calzaghe, Johnson, Pavlik, BH, Taylor absolutely NONE!!!!! My god i´m beginning hate boxing!!!!!! Especially all the American boxers who think they are so god damn tuff - **** off!!!!!!!

    Kessler would destroy Froch, Calzaghe would humiliate him. Froch is ok but i think he's being hyped up too much.

    Its not that i find the fact that Frochs promoter is bigging up his man as that is what he should be doing, but Hennessey and Froch have been slating Calzaghe for years whilst Joe has been going in there beating quality names whilst Froch has been beating the 'shot' Robin Reids and Brian Magee's of this world.

    Also Kessler has a great resume and i to think kessler stops Froch late after a total dismantelling of him. Calzaghe obviously on points.

    I.l guess he talked about, that Froch, like Holmes, has hes left hand down before throwing the jab. And both also has a long reach.
    Some one linked a interview with Hennessey. He showed respect to both Taylor and Kessler, which both managers had phoned him to congratulate Froch on the win and to talks about to make a fight. Great interview who sadly was erased rapidly.

    And even Mogens Palle says, that a Hopkins fight is all dead. Last time he stated a similar prediction, was just before the renegotiation and signing of the Calzaghe - Kessler fight :good
    Other thing that seems bad, but could be a good sign is, that Teampalle.dk haven't had any news since Juli 21. (except the Christmas greeting yesterday) Hopefully because they are all occupied with landing Kessler a big fight :bbb
