    There seem to be so many parrallels (how ever the hell you spell that).

    Both have lost two fights and are being written off.

    Both outclassed by a older foe.

    Both have now lost their belts.

    Both struggled while receiving bad cuts in their last fights.

    For me my opinion on each is the same. I think they are both good fighters that are being written off too early.

    Thoughts?

    They are both fighting quality opponents and have lost so what. The super six is what boxing should be, big fight after big fight.

    I agree with that.

    I'm not slating either of them. Personally I think they both just had bad nights at the office.

    I hope Kessler has more to come but im doubtful, all i will say is the Kessler of old would beat Froch, i have a feeling that Froch will batter the faded Kessler into an early exit in the super six.

    Im not to sure what Pavlik can do, i dont think he will be nearly as effective at 168lb than he was at 160lb, if he can still make weight i suppose he could target the other belt holders in that division.

    The only thing with Froch is everyone says this person or that person would beat Froch but up to today he has always pulled it out of the bag. No-one can say that he won't step it up when he needs to.

    I thought you were talking about the alternate routes they were taking to Herning.
