If Kessler drained to 160 he'd be significantly less sharp. Pavlik would overwhelm him at that weight. Above, I agree; I think he beats anyone. Hopkins would be tough, but if he picks his spots carefully, jabs lots and punches precisely - follow the "Taylor" fight model, if you like - he would succeed.
Too bad he ain't got the balls to do it. Kessler is a waste of talent. 168 has plenty of potential fights that could be fire.
OMFG!!! KESSLER IS SO DAM OVERRATED JUST LIKE JOE WAZ,WHO HAS KESSLER BEATEN!!?? WHAT GREAT THINGS HAVE KESSLER DONE!!?? dats it!! i had it with this kessler bum,CHAD DAWSON KNOCK THIS MOTHA****A OUT!!!
Wow, have you taken your pills today boy? Kessler would end your stamina-less americans, the only one that could do anything is Hopkins.
