    I just laugh at how excited everyone there is to see Froch get beat again. Both these guys would get beat worse by ward as they have both declined severely.

    Agreed. He is 36, has taken the hard fights that Ward would not take, and has paid the price as stylistically he cannot make the fights easy on himself. He's already pushing 36 and has too much wear and tear on him. Ward will of course get fucked up/busted/fail a test down the line but it won't involve Carl Froch.

    Yet Calzaghe would fuck him up and we know it. He really would have cut the guy to ribbons.

    these guys are probably #2 and 3 at the weight?


    Agreed with Hut, I hope Kessler packs it in. Nothing else to prove or achieve

    froch would've beaten everyone that calzaghe has beaten minus the early 40 some year old version of hopkins.

    Froch is a greater fighter than Calzaghe and by quite a margin too. Calzaghe may have been the better one (very debatable) but he fought stiffs for far to long

    I think that froch would have beaten thisversion of hopkin quite convincingly

    let's not go overboard here. calzaghe took a younger, fresher version of kessler and took him to school in a much easier fashion.

    My point is now what? Froch goes on to get his ass kicked by ward? Because the rematch will not even be close. Froch's speed has diminished extremely and kessler needs to retire. The fact that the #3 guy in the division needs to retire should tell us something.

    Yup, The problem is that Froch has a CV full of Kesslers. Joe not so much and that seems to sway peoples opinion

    no, the kessler-calzaghe was about as close as this one, probably even closer. By the middle rounds, Kessler seemed like he was on the way to win, while he was never in that position in that fight.

    Also, younger and fresher means less experienced and less poised, I don't think the kessler of the joe fight was better than this one

    the first pascal fight could have been scored for pascal easilly, since a kd wasn't scored.

    Unless I missed it, I don't see anyone here clamoring for a Ward rematch, so I'm not really sure where you're going with this

    Kessler has definitely declined. Kessler did not slow down once in the fight V Calzaghe.

    My ass. I've never seen a guy who was more made for Calzaghe. Froch actually pirouetted in the 12th with a miss. There is the other factor too, Froch likes to impose himself. He would not be able to do that with Calzaghe, Joe would bully him.
