Next Supermiddle Star?


Froch?

I say so!

?!

Kessler will be dominant for a few good years to come yet.

Bute of Kessler - be interesting to see how Bute handles Andrade.

Froch would beat Bute but struggle with Kessler...

So Kessler it is....

Froch or Pascal. Bute is overrated

He looked ok in his last fight and the KO made him look better than he is.

He was terrible in his 1st fight at Super Middle - hes so flat footed! He'd get smashed by anyone decent.

Froch. I've backed him from the start.

I'd back him to beat Calzaghe too

Miranda will surprise you doubters.
At 168lbs he is a killer.

He's good – an excellent amateur background – but looks a tad chinny and isn’t a massive hitter either, from what little footage of him I’ve seen of him at least. I’ve read things similar on the net and in The Ring and Boxing News.

I’m backing Carl Froch.

Carl Froch just gets better and better, then maybe Kenny Anderson a few years later.

Is Andre Dirrell any good?

Froch, no doubt.

Him and Kessler are a million miles ahead of anyone else.

kenny anderson is a great prospect commonwealth gold and 100% ko record as a pro so far, only 5 fights but who else coming up has a record like that?

Nathan cleverly least thats what the Calzaghe camp think.he will have improve on his last two fights he looked very ordinary to me

After Pavlik's upcoming re-match with Taylor at a catchweight of 166, it will be interesting to see whether Kelly returns to 160 or moves up to 168. Pavlik/Kessler/Froch could be the triumvirate to make super-middle one of the most exciting divisions.

Tyrone Brunson. Totally unproven but carries lethal power with 18 fights and 18 first round KOs!

He has been inactive for quite a while now, though. I wonder whether they are worried after he was knocked down (I think it was against his last opponent).

I think Froch cleans up. I think Calzaghe would have his hardest fight against Froch!

Froch is so overrated on here, it's laughable. Froch the next super middle star... Froch to beat Calzaghe... BOLLOCKS!

The man is 30 and still hasn't fought a world class opponent. He won't beat Bute, he won't beat Kessler and he wouldn't have a chance in hell of beating Calzaghe.

AGREED

Supermiddle is one of if not the best division in boxing IMO, there are some fantastic names coming through onto the World scene. Froch is as good as any of them IMO

Kessler. Sadly, he's no spring chicken, but I can see him coming back and dominating for 3-4 years.

Nobody is overrating Froch. Super middle is one of the weakest divisions, the only man out there as good as Froch now that JC has moved up is Kessler.

The rest are pedestrian or raw.

Froch is a good fighter, he's no mug.
