    Nelson or Ingo would be the only valid shouts.

    Best SMW resume of any active SMW. Look at the record of who hes beaten -

    Beyer, WBC SMW world champ and 3 time WBC champ
    Siaca, WBA SMW champ
    Froch, undefeated WBC SMW champ
    Sartison, undefeated future WBA regular champ
    Andrade, undefeated
    Thobela, former SMW world champ
    Lucas, former SMW world champ
    Hauseler, former SMW European champ
    Mundine, 2 time WBA SMW champ, beaten between holding titles
    Magee, WBA regular SMW champ

    Kessler has a fantastic SMW resume and only lost to Ward when he was unwell suffering double vision and rusty, whilst suffering some illegal headbutts

    Kid Williams too.

    Ingo is a bit underrated these days. The way some people go on you'd think he was a Carnera-level fighter who landed a lucky punch on Patterson. In the build up to his title win, he demolished Cooper and Machen, and also stopped solid Euro-level opposition like Erskine and Cavicchi. The first Patterson loss ruined his punch resistance, and he wasn't the same fighter from that point. Not an ATG by any means, but a solid resume and dangerous wildcard in mythical H2H match-ups.

    Kessler, is pure class. And it's a future Hall of Fame. I think Ward would beat him again but I want to see him do it legally in Europe.

    How do get into the Hof beating second and third tier fighters and getting brutalized by a green Andre Ward? Maybe Eurobum Hof. :think

    If Nas whos only loss was to an ATG and who was considered the best in the world at the time in his weight class hasnt got in then why should a cab driver killer get in when his losses are to Calzaghe and Ward and whos best win is a close decision over limites Carl Froch.

    I'm hoping damn you aren't talking about Brian Nielsen? What a shame that Kessler is compared to this bum :hey

    MichiganWarrior - go and tell Andre Dirrell to get an education, Kessler did what he failed to do :yep

    His list of "notable victories" or "best wins" just doesn't stack up amongst HOF'ers yet, in my opinion. I love the guy, one of my favorites actually, and I think he is very close, but below contemporaries like Wonjongkam and Calderon (and there are some out there who don't think these guys are HOF worthy).

    Froch
    Siaca
    Mundine
    Lucas
    Andrade
    Magee
    Sartison
    Green
    Green

    OK, when I boxrec it and type it out, it is without doubt beyond impressive. HOF though?
