People overrate punchers beyond no end and its like you forget everything Kessler did before beating Calzaghe.
When you fans say that he should go for the biggest name to start off it sounds like you're hoping he lands one big shot and gains instant fame as oppose to fighting the people I mention because you're afraid he'll get beaten.
I want to address the edit you threw into your post after I already responded.
I have repeatedly stated throughout this thread and others that I think Kessler would handle Miranda fairly easily, more easily than Pavlik in fact. So I don't know what your juvinile "I'll come back and say I told you so" comment is referring to. I also gave, and give, Kessler a ton of credit for his fight with Calzaghe, I'm a Kessler fan and I was cheering for him against JC (though I became a fan of Calzaghe because of that fight). So what, exactly, did I forget about that fight?
When did I say anything that could constitute overrating a puncher? The only thing I can think of is when I said it looks like Pascal is afraid of Miranda. Well, it looks like, following the brutal KO of Banks, Pascal became very quiet in regards to Miranda, a subject he was quite vocal about leading up to their ESPN card, which was supposed to set-up a fight between them. Also, Winky Wright is one of my favorite fighters, so I'm hardly one of those boxing fans who only likes big punchers.
Why would I be "afraid [Miranda] will get beaten"? I'm a boxing fan, I like to watch good fights, and in boxing there is almost always a loser.
I thought someone who worked in a library would be able to read a little better.
