Kessler is a boxer-puncher who does his thing so well, he's bigger, he's got a great jab, great right hand, moves well, great handspeed for a big man, he dominates all of his opponents.
Lacy actually has a longer reach than Kessler. I watched Kessler fight Bayer and Andrade on Youtube and they're both truly dreadful, slow, one-paced one dimensional fighters. Kessler isn't much better. He's OK, but nothing special. He's definitely been well-managed. When Calzaghe fights Kessler, you're going to see the difference in class between Calzaghe and Mexican roadsweepers like Andrade.
