    The Kessler win is his best, would have liked to have seen him do it again against the K man but it was not to be. He was obviously good, and he retires undefeated, you can't do any better than that. I would have been more impressed had he beaten any of those guys at their peak, (Kessler excepted) he was a stay at home champion for 95% of his career and only traveled when the odds of winning were stacked in his favour.
    Kessler fights Hopkins, who wins? Just answer me that, who would your money be on?
    A prime Hopkins, & I wouldn't even be thinking about it, he'd take him easy. 44 year old B-Hop against Kessler would be a 50-50 for me
    I'd love to know what other people think too but I'd bet on Hopkins. He is a dirty, awkward but a smart fighter who I think would frustrate the hell out of Kessler.

    So if 'The Third Man' thinks Kessler was his best win yet I reckon most would pick Hopkins to win if he fought Kessler (I know you have it a pick em) isn't that plain wrong? He put age 43 in there to make Hopkins sound as past it as he could.

    I think Hopkins is ugly to watch at times and fights dirty but he had Kelly Pavlic in fits and broke his heart, a guy that beat Taylor twice(one by KO)and Taylor beat Hopkins twice.

    Hopkins (as much as I hate him) is one of the best conditioned fighters of any era at his age and has evolved almost perfectly with his style. That is fact.
