Not if he is talking rubbish.
He is a 3 time world champ becuase he lost twice.
Rubbish from Dan. So I can't criticise a film director/producers work until I make a few films? I can't criticise what a top-class chef says until I win a few Michelin stars?
No-one is below praise and no-one is above criticism.
I can't believe Froch could truly be pissed off that Clev / Groves accepted payment and great experience against Kessler. I think it's a non story and doubt it's bothering Carl. I expect a rough 12 round fight, not sure of the winner
Whats the chances of this fight being a bore,i reckon very slim but if history of rematches is anything to go by????? i just hope that the beating they put on one another first time hasnt put them off engaging
i know im a cynical so and so

Apparently Groves and Cleverley were there at different times so he didn't see them spar. That was all Cleverley said on allegedly re Kessler and he wouldn't pick a winner either ( or maybe he didn't want to pick Froch after being slagged off) The Law said Kessler gave Cleverley a shiner.

Magee has boxed both and been hit hard by both, he thought he'd beat Kessler before he got hit in the body. Maybe Brian has more insight into the strengths and weaknesses than most of us? Maybe?

I wouldn't doubt that Brian has a good insight into both fighters and he may well be right, but he was wrong in predicting that he'd beat Kessler. He also said Kessler would stop Froch, something I highly doubt.

Who in the heck picks against themself? How can you hold that against him?
Well we'll all find out on Saturday night. I think Kessler will win, by split decision on the judges' score cards, but clearly in the real world. His body punches will slow Froch down and he'll outwork him down the stretch. Froch thinks he's got dynamite in his fists since the Bute fight. He's rewritten history in his own head in forgetting how Ward handled him with relative ease, and that he's not a particularly heavy puncher at world level.
magee cant really comment on this fight as he fought froch years ago and kessler in his last fight so how could he pick a winner based on himself fighting both? put froch in with him now and he wont last 3 rounds.
