The thought depresses me deeply Wack.

Mind you, on second thoughts, Adamek himself is a European. Woods, im sure, wouldn't mind a trip to the land of Carlsberg and Dawson might be considerd ellite just in time for Kessler to find his own "career defining fight".

Good points. I hope & believe that Kessler is the real deal...but we'll just have to see. He could comfortably move up to face the above names & I'd tip him against all of them.

I don't see Dawson being able to stand & trade with Kessler & Kess's jab has been a bit of a pickle for most men up to this date.

So how good of a chin he has will make a big difference, I mean Oscar's very skilled but having a great chin took him to another level, cause he's been hit with some hard, flush shots over his career by good punchers. Everything looks good for Kessler but it will be interesting to see how he reacts if he starts getting hit by a strong puncher.

True...but then who is at 168lbs or even 175lbs.

Kessler's proven that he can box & that he can crack...now he has to have his chin properly checked...& he has done that also...but I'd be curious to see how it fared under the repeated shots of Calzaghe.

Mundine hammered him & Beyer touched him...but no one has really shaken him.

I want to see him shaken & stirred only to come out on top.

That's a shame...it really is because Kessler's damned entertaining. I never NEVER let anyone make decisions for me...no matter how much they try & hammer it into my head.

I don't think Mayweather is better than Roy Jones Jr. at least I don't think he would beat him p4p. I know your joking, but I am serious Kessler is very good. Look how he did against Mundine's speed. Look how Oscar did against Gatti even. IF he didn't have his chin he might have lost that fight. People don't take into consideration how important things like speed, and power are.

Some good points here...but not on the Oscar factor. Kessler isn't the better boxer by a long shot.

You can't compare the Oscar now to the Kessler now because Oscar was in his prime long ago & Kess is just reaching his now...especially on the laundry list that he fought making it to the top.

Kessler is good...but he aint Oscar.

I think the fact that Oscar won world titles in 6 different weights and had infintately more exposure makes it hard to compare them TBH. I said a while back that soon Mikkel will be entering peoples p4p lists and I reckon that time is rapidly approaching . Already he is an undefeated unified world champ. I can see him being the man who dominates the division after Calzaghe. He can also move up to light heavy and be the boss there too . If Woods has good sense he wont fight Kessler in Denmark .

The guy has a bright future but its a bit soon for comparrissons with De La Hoya

This is true I agree completely, GAME, Kessler has not foughten anyone. People though Lacy was the next Tyson/Holyfield, but Calzaghe proved him wrong, but it just seems to me that Kessler is I don't know stronger or better in the ring there is something about how he holds himself, and how he throws his punches, and how all his opponents talk about him that makes him a really special fighter. I don't think he is the be all/end all, but neither is/was ODLH.

Don't know. He certainly doesn't even remotely resemble DLH. The hand speed is just not there. We'll see when he comes across the pond. That is, if he comes across the pond.
