    The super-middleweight division is pretty hot at the moment, with three intriguing match-ups taking place in the coming weeks, in Kessler-Haussler, Taylor-Lacy and Froch-Pascal. And the division could get even more exciting next year according to Mike Marley, Kessler's agent.

    I don't know who is Micheal Marley but he mentions Kessler - Haussler as an intriguing match-up but then fail to mention Bute - Andrade. That guy must be an idiot. Come on ! Even Inkin - Balsay is more intriguing then Kessler - Haussler. The only intriguing thing about that fight is when will Haussler be stop ?

    Of course, he works for Kessler, but still... that sounds awfully dumb to me.

    Kessler - Froch sounds awsome to me.

    We have yet to see Froch in real world class territory, though he has fought succesfull on the fringes of the top 10.

    Pascal is probably the first time Carl has fought a top 10 contender so it would be interesting to see how he will do.

    At this moment in time though If Kessler - Froch was announced, Id expect Kessler to win decision.

    Like the sound of Kessler-Froch. Kessler's the better fighter at this stage, but the Cobra can bang. Think Kessler would prevail but it would be a cracking fight.

    Looking forward to seeing Kessler take over the SM division, he's a class act and when he hits the states he'll surprise a lot of people. don't see too many people being able to cope with him at the moment. Hopefully he'll take some risks after Haussler, think he just needs to boost his confidence after the Calzaghe fight.
     
  7. Truthfully Froch, Kessler & *possibly* Taylor are the future dominant SMW fighters. The others may hold belts for a time but these guys will be the main men in the weight division when the dust settles.

    James Slater, the writer of the article, is even worse:

    "Well, should "The Cobra" get past the likewise undefeated Bute he may get the fight he wants some time in 2009. Beating the talented Canadian will not be in any way easy, however, and it must be said - no disrespect to Haussler or Kessler - that Carl has the tougher fight of the two."

    GeerGroove and Yatesy are bang on here. Exciting times in the SM division. Youre right about Kessler being the classier fighter, but think we have to acknowledge that Kessler is further down the road in his career. Can see Kessler taking over but dont be surprised if Froch comes back in a few years to blast his way to the top!

    what do people think to frochs title fight? 50-50? I think it is, but can see Froch knocking this guy out inside 4

    We'd be guessing if we said Pascal was Top 10. There are at least 12-13 people out there who have beaten better opposition than Pascal. Pascal might be one of the best 10, but he's not Top 10, if that distinction makes sense...imo. I think the only clue about the quality of both Froch and Pascal that we'll be able to have is by looking at their level of performance on the night. :good

    sounds like a good fight
     
  14. By all means bookmark this thread & quote me down the line :smooch. Bute's merely keeping the belt warm for those 3 guys I meantioned who bar the odd freak loss will probably only lose to one another in the future.
