Calzaghe's chin has eroded recently and defensively is still open. If Hopkins can drop Joe, Froch can. but kessler would beat froch the same way he beat Andrade.

I agree, but then most people would probably guess I would, Kessler and his team seem to be geniunally kicking themselves about what happened in Cardiff. I think they see it,like I tend to, more of a case of Kessler throwing it away more so than being beaten by the better man.

However, give Joe his dues - he was a cool customer that night.

I think Kessler has faster hands than Pascal, and certainly a longer reach. Pascal might be more mobile, but it was his hand speed that was troubling Froch.

Hopkins didn't hurt Joe and he went to hold Joe afterwards to supplement the KD.

Froch would get Lacy'ed by Joe even now.

Froch Isn't technically or defensively as good as Hopkins either even though Hopkins was garbage against Joe.
