Respect for Mikkel Kessler

[superheavyrhun]

If he wants to prove he is still the man to beat at 168 he needs to fight either Bute or Froch.

Froch will have his shot at the wbc title when he beats Reid.He must have the fight in spring, i think Kessler should fight him then.

Froch has not beaten a top 30 guy. Kessler will destroy him early.

Sorry Tam, but I believe that eagle is right on this one, and that Kessler would beat Froch should they meet for a title vacated by Joe Calzaghe.

Kessler-Bute would be interesting. But Kessler-Froch would be a mis-match. Froch hasn't done anything or beaten anybody to be considered a good fighter. He's a mediocre fighter who happens to be undefeated cuz of poor competition faced.

Mad respect to Kessler for his actions before, during, and after the fight. I wasn't a huge fan of Kessler before this fight and I considered JC one of the most overrated fighters in boxing - but I've certainly changed my mind and can now admit the wrongness of my position. Both are great fighters.
Like others have said, I think the Kessler that showed up last night would've beaten pretty much any SM other than Calzaghe.
I really, really want to see Kessler - Bute now. I'd give the advantage to Kessler, but that would be a hell of a competitive fight. Bute might still be a bit green for a fighter of Kessler's skill.
JC is P4P top 5 and put on a hell of a performance last night.
