Hidden Content IN CASE THEY ALL FORGOT WHAT REAL HEAVYWEIGHT POWER WAS!!!
Yea Pavlik chose to fight Bernard Hokpins the guy that alot of people thought beat Calzaghe the man he schooled Kessler. Not only that he is jumping up 15 pounds to do so i respect that and i hope the best for Pavlik and i think he win it. To me Kessler should not be fighting bums but thats his chose see what he does in the future but for now Pavlik is stepping it up and i respect that alot more and hope he does well. Also would like to see Pavlik vs Calzaghe would be a great fight as well not sure it will happen.
Agreed. Furthermore, I don't think Ring Magazine will keep Kessler at # 1 for much longer if he fights another nobody. Don't get me wrong, I think Kessler has or had loads of potential. I think he is a very good boxer. I am just dismayed by the direction of his career. I expect him to blow out Haussler and set up a fight with a big-time fighter. Kessler should fight one of the three following fighters if they win in the coming months: Bute, Taylor, or Froch. Anything less would be a big-time disappointment.
You mean the Thompson who is under the employment of Kessler and who also fought Pavlik back in 2004 when Pavlik was still an 8 round fighter?
Yeah that's the ticket!!
So If Pavlik Beats Hopkins, and Hopkins says Pavlik could beat Calzaghe, does that mean he could beat Kessler also by default? Now do you see what kind of weight those type of statements carry?

Kessler is good looking, fit and strong - and a great guy. Is he a great boxer? NOPE.
He is far from it. A few wins over a ancient Beyer and a cowardly Mundine don't make you elite. So he went the full 12 with Joe - who doesn't? Ashir, Lacy, Hopkins, Bika.....
...infact Bika gave him a much harder fight than Kessler whom apart from one round was crap. Hardly fight of the year. Infact i dont know of any show-reel fights on his resume apart from the ko of Beyer and even he seemed shocked by it himself.
