if u think kessler is a technician, your standard for what makes a technician is atrociously low.
Wait Wait... are you saying Kessler is not a very solid technician here? If do, you didn't watch none of his fights; you can remove whatever you want from the guy but 2 things: Extremely solid technician and damn hard hands. NO. HE IS a fierce technician.
name me a technician who didn't know how to in-fight.

kalambay was a technician. hopkins is a technician. donald curry was a superb technician. calzaghe's a technician, despite how unorthodox(and many times sloppy) he looks. kessler isn't.
Comparing Kessler to the likes of Hopkins and Calzaghe is unfair.

What made Hopkins and Calzaghe so great was their ability to fight coming forward or on the backfoot effectively.

From what i've seen from Kessler, he is most effective boxing behind his jab and using his jab to set up his strong fast right hand or putting combos together.

Kessler is the perfect example of a conventional boxer, he is well rounded, good jab, solid defense, uses his footwork effective, dangerous hard right hand, solid left hook and uppercut, is good at putting punches together. He also has surprisingly good handspeed plus good power especially with his right hand.

Overall Kessler is a good technician.

Only GREAT technicians can fight inside and outside effectively.
