The reason I dislike Kessler is mainly because of his fans (Royal) and the fact he won't fight outside of Denmark (2 out of 38 fights have been outside of Denmark). That's all well and good for his hometown fans but what about the rest of boxing....same goes for Calzaghe (except he has less crazy fans).
When is HBO going to bring you a big time fight from Denmark?
England has less of a problem because they have other fighters than Calzaghe.
Kessler is different from Jeff Lacy in that he has not siezed the oppertunity to do battle with THE MAN...maybe it's Frank Warren's fault but I don't really buy that. There have been some Danish fighters that have built up HUGE records and then stepped up the opposition and got flat out destroyed....and I think that has more to do with it.
Mikkel Kessler to me is a good technical fighter but I want him to show me something....which is no different than my feelings about Floyd Mayweather Jr. or anyone else
