There is no way that Kessler was over rated. He lost a fight to a good fighter. Somebody had to lose. He kept coming forward and continued to attack despite him down on the scorecards. That's courage and pride. Maybe if Calzaghe would've Knocked him out in round 1 than your comment could have had a good argument but no way in hell could I say that Kessler is over rated. He gt beat by someone with experience and who maintained consistency throughout the bout. Plus, he landed his shots too. Just not enough.
Not much better of a way to put that; well said. Kessler seemed to get befuddled and abandoned his jab, but he never quit, just got gun shy due to getting confused. He'll be better off this loss, and a loss to a long reigning champion, so it's almost a win/win situation IMO if he looks at it in terms of the long run.
