    Kessler would have an excellent shot. His accuracy declined a tonne since 2007.

    Kessler had the style that would beat GGG. Straight powershots in volume.

    At MW today, the only guy with that style is Chris Eubank.

    This fight would have been great. Right now I would lean towards Kessler. (But I was a huge Kessler fan)

    Kessler would have given GGG that work.

    Golovkin by KO. Kessler was overated. The guy beat nothing but bums.

    No he wouldn't. H2H GGG has a lot more skills. Hard to beat a guy with so much more skill.

    HUGE fight.
    I don't see Kessler as being overrated at all, he just started declining, through injuries or whatever, very early. His fundamentals were outstanding. As of course are Golovkin's.
    I'd pick GGG but def wouldn't be betting on it.

    The Super 6 version of Kessler beats Golovkin, and the same version of Abraham beats him as well.

    Hard to say. Especially when Glovkin is too scared to go to that division and seems to only want fights against small non middle weights.

    But the Cobra jab gave Kessler serious problems and Glovkin has a pretty decent jab. However 3G seems a lot easier to hit down the middle with straight 1-2s.

    Hard to call. You never really know how good a guy is when all he faces is mediocre opposition.
