You just put Bute down without saying what Kessler has done other than that he unified...

Prior to Super Six, "in his prime," his biggest win was over Andrade. Unify? He unified by fighting 5'9, 35 year old Marcus Breyer. Don't forget Kessler fought cans too: Sartison, Haussler and Perdomo in a row prior to the Super Six.

Kessler's biggest win was over Froch. Fact.

Kessler's been in with better competition, but he has lost every time he stepped up, other than in the Froch fight, and that was very close.

Why do you think Bute went from HBO to Showtime? Answer: In order to fight the guys in the Super Six.
im not quite sure how beyers height comes in to it

and he lost to calzaghe in joes background...and was hardly outclassed

2nd time again away from home were he was smashed up by wards forehead

bute on the otherhand doesnt leave canada and this saved him in the andrade fight
You still haven't said anything about what Kessler actually did in his prime other than lose to Calzaghe. And Calzaghe blew him out of the water, don't kid yourself.

Kessler's best win was when he was not in his prime and against Froch. Fact. His best win in his prime was against Andrade.

My point about Beyer was that the unification with him wasn't impressive.

Did you miss the second Andrade fight? Bute fought him again and knocked Andrade out with a body shot. Leaving nothing to guess that time. It's on youtube. He also dominated Bika better than Ward.

I feel like Kessler is super overrated on these boards because of his loss against Calzaghe. I like Kessler, he's a class act outside the ring, and a great fighter in it. But, at the end of the day his biggest win was a close one against Froch.
