Please watch this perfect style - WBA Champ Mikkel Kessler

[B@rr3r@]

Hes good, but no where near perfect in style, he would be schooled by Joe, I really mean it, he is good but Joe would maintain him, and win by a very very big margin on points....

Kessler hasnt experienced anything like what Joe would bring......

[Wacko3205]

Truth of the matter is that Kessler has fought some good fighters...three to be exact IWO...just not any real great ones.

He's an asset to 168lbs & personally...I think that if Calzaghe moves to 175 & Kessler can beat Lacy...he'll rule the division.

But he aint be Lacy yet...& he aint gonna beat Joe. Period.

Again...I like Kessler...just being open minded.

Who do you have in mind when you say he's fought three good fighters? I count one in Mundine. Any other "good" fighter on his record was washed up by he met Kess. I would like to see him in there with someone better than Tsypko in his next fight, how about Mkrtchian for example? I'm not sold on Tsypko one bit.

This is what I mean by boxing fans being a bit too critical.

Good equates to many fighters in the game...worth mentioning on Kessler's record is Mundine, Porras, Lucas, Green, & soon to be Tsypko.

I said good fighters...I didn't say world beaters. All of those fighters that Kessler beat were not chumps & have fought & beaten many name & game opponents. People forget what a fighter does the minute that he is beaten...that my friend's is bullshat.

That is not what boxing is about. Also...bgordon...this was a question that you asked & I answered it...it was a broad answer...so don't take it like I was directing it @ you 100%. I just think that people often forget what a boxer/fighter is & does way too quickly.

Jeff Lacy is the perfect example. He's done now in most people's eyes...simply because the best fighter in the world @ 168lbs beat him one sidedly...you know what I mean?

Kessler is good...& it just aggravates me that he (like Sturm & many others) get's judged on speculation & not by educated assumptions.

The topic of this post kinda made me think there was going to be some kind of video... but I found a bunch of pictures, and not wanting to be terribly disappointed, I scrolled down really fast and it almost worked....

Ahhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Now that was funny!

Glad someone appreciates my strange sense of humor... by the way, I'm keeping a tally, and I owe you about 50 CCs when I mature enough to know what the hell they are

he looks open for a right hand.

Open?

Where?


Blind man watching?

See that opening right between Kessler's gloves...that's his face...generally...a fist fits there pretty well...but he takes 'em pretty good...but that being said...he does open himself fairly well.

Usually Kessler drops his hands & admires his work & that's when he's suceptable to get popped.

Also...Mundine kept catching him when he'd back pedal. Kess would jab, drop his hands, Mundine fired & connected. Siaca did it too.

I like Kessler & consider myself a fan...I'd be upset if he lost...but if he fights Calzaghe...he'll be as open to Joes shots as Jeff was.

In the amateurs Kessler was famous for his defensive as he was impossible to hit and thereby impossible to beat on points (Even for all the russians and other eastern boxers who always wanted to beat the famous dane, but he became EU-champ just before he turned pro as young as at 1.

I do think that Kessler is still a master of defence and by far the best defensive boxer of SMW (Beyer is a pretty good defensive boxer too). Both Lacy and Calzaghe takes much much more shots than Kessler. Kessler has never taken the count or floor.

This is the face of a Tiger not a guy who has been boxing since the age of 12…..not a single scratch……

Young and very skinny

[Violent Demise]

I don't think either Calzaghe or Kessler can claim there the best of 168 division without fighting each other. Hopefully it happens soon. I lean towards Kessler

[cityboy]

Only one way to find out if he could beat Lacy....make the fight and let them figure it out

In 2004 Lacy's team said that he would not be ready for Kess within the next few years. I do not think than things has changed since

[Taeth]

Kessler is in a difficult situation.. .IMO he could beat Calzaghe... he has the potential, but Lacy isn't fighting and he has nobody else in the division to really increase his stock around the world to give him the recognition worthy of fighting somebody of Calzaghe's newfound fame and calibur.

-very good post, who whould actually fight KESS?

TARVER SAID NO, SO DID RJJ AND CALZAGHE - BEYER ALSO DID NOT WANT TO FIGHT KESSLER AND NEITHER WOULD REID FIGHT HIM - WHO IS LEFT TO KESSLER?

[Purist]

Anybody who calls Kessler world class and ready for the likes of Calzaghe is seriously dreaming. I got 100 dollars in my pocket that says he wouldn't get past Rubin Williams

[Purist]

You kno who Kessler should fight next. Bad Chad Dawson

Team Palle offer Mkrtchian to fight Kessler but Mkrtchian was injury after his victory over Jackson Chanet so Mkrtchian will be ready for Kessler in September
