Is Mikkel Kessler the bravest champ of today?
On a few weeks notice he took a title-shot against Manny Siaca late 2004 and stopped him in 7 rounds.
In his very first title defence he went down under at defeated Mundine.
Then he took on Lucas in Copenhagen.
In his only 3rd defence of his wba title he unified against wbc champ Beyer.
Then he took on undefeated no. 1 challenger Andrade.
In his only 5th title defence Kessler is going to Wales to face Calzaghe.
A champ going abroad 2 out of 5 times is rare - especially when he is facing the Ring's no. 3 and the Ring Champ....abroad........

He's a brave viking warrior certainly. But Calzaghe is Alfred the Great to Kessler's Guthrum and he'll defeat the viking warrior in battle.

No he isn't
Royal but he certainly has balls i'll give him that.
My first thought was to dismiss the argument, until I couldn't think of someone better...........
Let me know who can make the claims Kessler can.

Well Manny Pac isn't actually American, and he fought Barrera J Marquez then Morales shortly after coming to the states.. Hey, Kessler is a ballsy fighter and I think it's great that he wants to fight the best and will travel to do so. I don't think it's great that most of his fans are so incredibly stupid and creepy, like you Royal.

Re: Is Mikkel Kessler the bravest champ of today?
WTF Is that supposed to mean???,,,,,Is he the bravest champion??.........
Brave as in would he run into a burning building and save an old lady????
Brave as in would he jump out of a plane with nothing but oversized boxer shorts he must tie shut at the legs on the way down to use as a parachute???.......
Bravest as the biggest Atlanta Braves fan in the world so he changed his name to Bravest??./...
I mean those answers are as silly as the thread topic :banana:
Excuse the sarcasim but this question has me acting in a ROYAL way....
Mikkel Kessler is a guy who is willing to do what champions do...Defend his title against the top ranked guys in the division....
Sad part is Kessler is doing just that...WHAT A CHAMPION SHOULD DO.....He is not the only champion willing to do so though.....He just happens to have the least publicity outside of the die hard boxing circle.........So he has the least amount of promoter pull....Meaning titles or not if he wants the pay day he must travel.....
-
Re: Is Mikkel Kessler the bravest champ of today?
I wouldn't say he was brave, I'd say he's confident in his own abilities, and he likes to make money.
-
Re: Is Mikkel Kessler the bravest champ of today?
I think you make good points,Kessler has been brave and I also think I under rated his resume somewhat! Mundine,Beyer,Andrade,Lucas,siaca,that's a pretty decent resume!

Kessler is being very brave in that he is willing to travel and actually go into the den of the lion. I give him all the credit for that.
-
Re: Is Mikkel Kessler the bravest champ of today?
I just hate it when Kessler fans, or for that matter any fighters fans make it hard for geniune fans to support/back up their fav. fighters.
Cause they go around making these kind of threads/comments.
Anyone remember that idiot here whos name was something in relation to Palle? It was obvious he was on the bank roll and that he was here to stirr shit! around. But my god, for the few minutes he was here he almost made me hate Kessler due to all the shit and nonesense talk he did. >:mad
-
Re: Is Mikkel Kessler the bravest champ of today?
Having looked at Kessler's resume,I find it hard to choose between he or Calzaghe with regards to who has beaten the better fighters! May be I was oblivious to this before because like Mick said,the Kessler fans(much like Manny fans at the moment) made it really difficult to like the guy but I have alot of his career now and he's been to these guys backyards and beaten them.
-
Re: Is Mikkel Kessler the bravest champ of today?
Kessler is not mug thats for sure, he does deserve respect... but there are alotof other brave fighters out there, and sometimes good fighters who are not very well known are the ones who have to travel and take the hard road for a while...
-
Re: Is Mikkel Kessler the bravest champ of today?
When he was champ, my vote would have gone with Wongjonkam. I mean, going all the way to Japan to fight a guy he'd beaten twice, and one of those times in a first round knockout is impressive.
He should be renamed "Pongsaklek the brave".
-
Re: Is Mikkel Kessler the bravest champ of today?
Kessler has had to go abroad for the big fights (all two of 'em) to earn the money big fights warrant.
That makes him smart not brave. ;)
-
Re: Is Mikkel Kessler the bravest champ of today?
He doesn't seem to be running away from anyone if thats what you mean.

Travelling twice to make a fight happen....wow!
Personally, I'm with Daxx in that the question and interpretation of "brave" is not probably the right way to phrase the question, but I don't doubt that Kessler is doing the right thing for his pocket by fighting in Wales.
-
Re: Is Mikkel Kessler the bravest champ of today?
I will give him some props for coming to wales - but hes only coming for more money, they wanted to make the fight happen there first, it fell through due to the lack of money he wanted..
Mundine and byer... mundy was champ and ofc he was going to go there..
byer was a name, a name he needed really to be considered a contender.. props for him for going to both fights, but thats what you would expect really?
-
Re: Is Mikkel Kessler the bravest champ of today?
Hes a gd fighter but like some people have said hes gone where the money is to get big fights like kostya used to do nd winky wright has travelled alot to get the big fights so hes not the only one .
-
Re: Is Mikkel Kessler the bravest champ of today?
I'm with Daxx on this one also, and though I won't be insulting and say the thread was gay; it's just sad when people have had to ask these type quetions. Anyone who gets in that box and does this for a living, or tries to, is brave. I have alot of respect for Kessler, but not any more than I do for an Andrade who went to Kessler's backyard and got a beating and smiled afterwards and gave props; that's brave and being a gentleman. Kessler is doing what he's supposed to, to gain respect, and that's fight!! We'll see how "brave" he is after he loses his 1st one, if and when that happens.
