Out of 10, what do you rate Froch's chances of beating Kessler?

Correction, Froch has an average chin...Lets not forget Dirrell is no KO artist and he was able to rock Froch several of times...Taylor even floored him...He has heart though...Chin is very, very, very average!:yep

 

0, Kessler will move outside of Froch's jab, getting him off balance and then counter with some 1-2's. Andrade is better balanced than Froch and Mikkel kept him looking silly all night. Froch already looks silly on his own, so I choose Mikkel by embarrasment and mid-round stoppage.

 

I think there is more to come from Froch. He has won recently without looking really that good, which is the mark of either someone really good or really lucky.

 

Dirrel and Pascal would beat Kessler...so Im not too worried about Kessler.
Whos power is hugely over rated.

Kessler has only had succes against moderate level of opposition.

Lets see what Kessler does against Andre Ward 1st...I am pretty sure

when Kessler and Froch meet it will only be for Froch's belt

 

2/3 out of 10. Kessler is just far superior to him. But it is boxing and he'll always have a punchers chance.

 

I love these Mikkel Kessler destorys everyone threads after the ****er has beaten has beens and bums like Padermo....what about granite Chinned Mundine? ROFL

 

i'll give him a 3/4

 

4/10

 

To be honest, Froch was never in any danger of being stopped by Dirrell. I think he looked more hurt than he actually was and it was probably due to frustration. Froch was having a hard time finding Dirrell because of his backpedaling tactics and started winging his punches even more, hoping to connect with a big punch, then he got countered and was off balance more than hurt. If Kessler fights at the level he did against Calzaghe, stays calm and uses his superior ability, I would give Froch a 3/10 (there's always that punchers chance). If Kessler falls for Froch's tactic of starting a slugging match, then I would say it's 50/50. Whoever connects first could potentially finish the fight there and then, they both have good power.

 

Spot on.Kessler better boxer but will be a lot easier to trackdown and land on than that come dancing chicken **** was at weekend!

 

WOW about 800 posts in 5 month (I wonder how many is trying to downtalk my boy Kessler, quite a few I bet atsch) talk about a guy who needs a life.....:blood

But I'm ready for a bet on the Ward fight :bbb

 

In the last few days on this forum Abraham has become the p4p best hardest fighter in the world and kessler is the second coming of Ali! Last 3 fights Froch has fought considerably higher opposition than these too yet he's apparently going to be destroyed and has no punching power at world level. Look at Kesslers KO record at the highest level? Lets see how Abraham looks chasing after Dirrell and fresh airing shots all night?
Take that into account and i'd go 50/50 with Kessler and 60/40 in Froch favour against Abraham.

 

70/30 Kessler. Maybe that's generous for Froch.

 

Froch will have a hard time with Kessler. Kessler has good footwork, is fast, very accurate and is technically sound.

I don't think Froch has no chance, but it will be difficult. 3 points (33% chance) for Froch.

 

I'm no expert so don't jump on me, but I used to think Froch's chin was infallible. Now I'm not so sure. He took those massive haymakers from Robin Reid but, from what I saw, Dirrell shook him up big time. Maybe it is the straight accurate punchers that can get to Froch. Kessler throws very hard straight punches. I also wonder how he would take the kid of shots that Calzaghe faced when he fought Kessler. At the end of the day, Froch is wide open.
