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.

Jangeorg your a massive kessler fan and you always bring interesting news to the forum which im greatful for.
I aint a hater on Kessler, but i just think he's got a lot of adulation through his personality rather than his ability.
I like him and enjoy watching him fight, but he is definitely not the elit level people think.
I would also bet on him not taking another risk for at least another 2 years, until he has beaten a load of bums and earned enough money to pay off his Monaco house, Ferraris and stuff.

Thats stupid logic if Sakio Bika wasn't a good fighter and just dirty, then going by that logic Joe Calzaghe isn't a very good fighter for struggling against a limited fighter like Sakio Bika as you put it.
Sakio Bika isn't a bad fighter at all, he does make it a rough/physical fight. But that doesn't mean he is a bad fighter just like Bernard Hopkins isn't, who also has been making it into those kind of fights lately. The only fighter who has beat Sakio Bika well. Is Lucian Bute who is the dark horse of the division, and i think he would beat your boy.
Its about time Mikkel Kessler stops fighting mediocre fighters and steps up to the plate. The 1st time it was ok but again ? hell no i ain't buying that excuse again, he should of fought Edison Miranda but backed out. He also should fight Lucian Bute if Lucian Bute beats Librado Andrade, but i doubt he will anytime soon what the hell is wrong with Mikkel Kessler ?

Miranda my ass what ? your not making sense the fact is at that time, Miranda was still a name. And Kessler backed out and fought a nobody instead, and if Mikkel Kessler had fought and beat Miranda he would of got alot of credit.
And now Kessler is fighting another nobody, i really don't know why Kessler is wasting his time with these kind of opponents. He would of got the credit for fighting Miranda. And Miranda is a better fighter than Kessler's last opponent and Kessler's latest opponent put together.
