Kessler is still not at his prime. Posters continues to write that Lacy is young, but Lacy is from 1977-05-12 and Mikkel from 1979-03-01 - Within 18-24 months I have no doubt that he will be top 3 P4P - I dont know how far Dariusz ever went on the P4P ranking?
Age doesn't matter. Kessler has fought over 35 times. This is his prime.
Only physically imo. He hasn't faced anyone near close to the style of Calzaghe so how is he going to deal with it? Calzaghe has seen just about everything. Kessler is still a baby when it comes to experience and styles you face. It's Lacy like in the sense that he's basically fought against the same type of style his career and when he faces someone like Calzaghe where he'll have to reach into plan B and C for, he won't know what to do. Thats what happened to Lacy and it would happen to Kessler if him and Calzaghe fought one another.
What the fuck you talking about? Kessler has fought 38 times. He's beaten 6 former world champions. He's been a pro for almost 10 years. Lacy barely had over 20 fights when he fought Calzaghe. He's been a pro barely 5 years. He never beat a champion for his belt. It was vacant when he won it. Big diffrence. Kessler is in his fuckin prime right now! He he loses (which I doubt) it's because he got his ass kicked. Not cuz of lack of experience.
It has to be because of experience too. Calzaghe is gonna do things that Kessler aint gonna be able to adapt to or stop. So Calzaghe knowing those things and Kessler not knowing how to stop them has to do with experience. The bonus is that he'll get his ass kicked. Calzaghe is in his prime right now, it's not his physical prime but its some of the best he's been. Kessler is in his physical prime right now, but he still has room to grow and he still has room to get better. Thats why I said Kessler isn't in his prime yet since he hasn't peaked yet.
If anything you got things mixed up. When has Calzaghe ever faced an experienced strong fighter in his prime like Kessler? Calzaghe's big wins have been over an inexperience fighter and fighters way past there prime. He's never faced a good fighter in his prime. How will he deal with that?
