Is Kessler the most overated boxer on this forum ?

Kessler smashes Froch up badly, Froch would be wide open for one of the best jabs and best 1-2's in the business at all times.

 

:deal

 

I am not so sure ,Froch has shown he can box and has a fantastic jab himself,you cannot base Frochs abilty on his showing against Taylor you have to remember he is faster than any of the super middleweights.

 

:good

 

No Chad 'China' Dawson is.

 

:yep

 

Spot on. The implication coming from those who will suggest it is Kessler is virtually invincible. He is the most overrated, but there are others. You did pick the right guy. TFFP, BTW, who genuinely follows Kessler does not overrate him. Too bad others can't follow his example.

 

I felt he fought a better fight against joe, then hopkins,,,,an love his upper cut, I wish HBO would try to pull him in there line up, maybe with froch winning HBO might look at the big picture, an set him up for a few fights down the road,,,,,,,,I could see him being a p4p, hall fame type fighter, but he has got to get out of his country a few times, against top guys,,,palvik in him would be a good start (catch weight)

 

Kessler is an excellent boxer.

I'm no Calzaghe fanboy nor am I a hater, but I am someone who has watched Kessler's career every step of the way. People are quick to point to the names on his resume after looking on boxrec and yes it could be better and could be alot worse, but what they fail to mention is the manner of his victories. Take away the Calzaghe loss and you could probably count the number of rounds Kessler has lost on your 2 hands!

He's a meticulous boxer-puncher, a great technician, has a solid chin, excellent stamina and is an athlete that keeps himself in great condition. He beats everyone at 168 imo, and from 160-175 I only see him losing to Hopkins and maybe Dawson.

Hopefully his promotional issues will be sorted out soon and he can get on with his career... Along with P.Will he's the most avoided boxer in the game!

 

Kessler is tremendous but he's becoming it. He simply isn't giving his fan base (YO!) any reason to continually hype him up. It's like "Kessler beats so and so" and the first response is always "Well why hasn't he yet?" At some point promotional issues or not the dude HAS to fight.

Simply put...he risks falling into the way side of irrelevancy if he can't fight.

 

i agree:good

FO SHO

 

Kessler is very overrated and you're right probably the most overrated boxer besides Margo. The guy has a **** resume and has received too much hype from having a cool tattoo and being beat up by Calzaghe. He's robotic and predictable until he fights and beats someone with a pulse his fans should give it up.

 

Andrade? Mundine?

Again I'm well aware Kessler's resume doesn't match his skill set and as a fan that's infuriating but let's not slight what tiny resume he DOES have.

 

If the guy truly wants to fight the elite then he should buy himself out of his contract.
