I like Ward mate but he still ain't the finished article , I would love to see Andre fight Lucian as I would also like to see him rematch Mikkel Kessler , he surprised Kessler that night Kessler has the ability to beat Ward still I reckon , it's looking like Bute is fighting Froch twice early next year so it could open the rematch door .
Couldnt agree more, dare i say.. a super six format may be the future for the sport?? :think Not a big fan of Froch myself, but respect the fact he is willing to back up his talk and always looking to take a step forward. Reminds me of Darch in a way. Both have styles that are a little unorthodox, but effective. But both styles are incredibly vunerable to slick counter punchers
Yep all across the board to the super six way forward comment Bugger , SOX , Kessler is down to fight Steglitz in April next year for the WBO title if Ward then attempts to unify then he will have to fight Bute (IBF) and probably Kessler for the WBO titles
Yeh I've seen that. I'll get on the Kessler train if he fights Ward again, not that I dislike Ward, but I've always liked Kessler.
see thats disappointing. Ward more or less cleans out the division bar Bute and Bute fights Froch :-( Doesnt seem like Ward may reap the benefits of his hard work.
Agreed if he fought and beat Bute he would have cleaned house , Ward didn't answer the Bute question when asked Sunday morning he skirted around it so he must have known the Froch / Bute fights were on beforehand .
Calzaghe was much further over the hill than Hopkins. Anyone saying otherwise doesn't know a thing about Calzaghe.
I don't think Kessler can ever beat Ward and I think it's possible Froch might even stop this version Kessler tbh Mikkel was a great fighter but injury and age are catching up with him, i'd like to see him wind down his career with 2 or 3 more fights.
I think Kessler still gas a decent few fights left in him Beaver and having Jimmy in his corner will polish his talent , they have had a while working together now and it will be interesting to see if Mikkel has learnt anything new . Stegliz ain't the most exciting fighter either and after watching him labour to to a points win a few years ago I really can't see how he won a portion of the title .
How is age catching up with Kessler, he's 2 years younger than Froch? I don't see Froch ever beating Kessler. I can also see both Kessler and Froch beating Bute. I think the only fighter he may not be able to topple is Ward, and he even has a good chance at that.
Yeah I'd need more convincing that Kessler is on the slide. If Andrade almost got Bute then Froch definitely has a chance at doing it. I think Joe would still take Ward, he would find a way in that no-one else has yet.
calzhaghehehehe was a slapper. lucky he paid off all the ringside judges, to score his slaps as punches with the knuckle part of the glove. otherwise, he would have been soundly beaten in most of his boring fights......
