    With all the **** the US posters on esb talked after the fight you should be quite silent here. Taylor didn´t get half as much hatered from the euro posters when Abraham spanked him...

    Kessler was always hype, if ward loses his next fight, it proves it even more.

    Froch wins a disputed SPLIT DEC and claims he won every round and was never worried.Kessler is beaten from pillar to post and blames head butts and ref.
    These dudes lost repect,not to mention Kesslers belt.

    Kessler wasn't more hype than Lacy, Pavlik or Taylor

    You are allowed to feel aggreived and air the same and at the same time, retain your dignity, without a keyboard warrior labelling you a 'bad loser'.

    Euros don't know boxing. When they see a real boxing match they think it's "boring". But you know what's really boring? 60 minute "soccer" games that end 1-0.

    Too bad you didn't watch Fragomeni-Erdei. At the end of that fight was one of the best displays of sportsmanship I've seen. First, in the last round, Erdei was dead tired and risked getting KOed to actually bang back and try to take the last round (which he probably lost, and didn't need for the win). After the fight was over, the two fighters embraced, and rather than either fighter jumping on the ropes individually, walked around the ring with one arm around the other's back and their other arm raised, showing a ton of respect for each other even though the outcome of the fight wasn't really in doubt.

    Kessler might have done better to keep his thoughts to himself immediately after the fight, or to at least give some credit to Ward, but it's hardly only the Euros who whine about these types of things, and there are plenty of Euros who are humble and accept defeat graciously.

    Nobody labelled pav the best until he proved it, he beat the undefeated Taylor in stunning fashion then outpointed him in a rematch on Taylors terms, he destroyed Edision Miranda who was seen as the upsetter of the division at the time. Kess hasnt beated any real names unless you consider Mundine :yep and he lossed to Calzaghe which for some reason gives you Elite status here as long as you dont get embarassed. People were saying Kess could beat Chad Dawson:lol:

    Pav might be a ***** now but he proved his hype, he got destroyed by Hopkins:lol: but ****, he proved he wasnt hype before that. If you mentioned Dawson, Hopkins, Pav, Abraham around Kesslers/calzaghe fans, they acted as if Kessler had beated them already.

    Pavlik beat Taylor but so did Froch and AA
    Taylor was hyped too beside his close fight with Hopkins he hasn't done anything.:yep
    Abraham beat Miranda first and with a brocken jaw
    Pavlik best wins are Miranda and Taylor:yep
    Pavlik fought never outside of the US

    Kessler beat Mundine (in Australia) who would give Pavlik a very close fight
    Kessler dominated Andrade (who was close to KO Bute and would ko Pavlik)

    In my opinion Kessler gave Calzaghe a harder fight than Hopkins did.
    Kessler Ko'ed Beyer who isn't great but was at least a bigger name than
    Miranda or Zuniga

    Well,I for my part have never seen a european fighter behave like a clown,dressed like a clown,speak like a clown,and carry tons of gold and silver around his next ,but hardly being able to utter one gramatically correct sentence in his native tongue.

    Pav beat Taylor when he was undefeated, brutally beat taylor infact, Taylor has never been the same since. It really doesnt matter if Pav hasnt fought outside the US, Calzaghe only did that about 3 times(at the end of his career when people were questioning his horrible resume). Abraham beat Miranda but Miranda was destroyed by Pavlik. The match should have been stopped anyway but hey, thats hometown bias so **** it. lol, Mundine has a horrible chin, his match with Kessler was frankly cringeworthy, he should have been fined for a poor roy jones impression. I fail to imagine how a man who got knocked out by Sven Ottke can withstand Pavs punch.

    And as for Kessler doing better than Hopkins, i really dont belive that, even Calzaghes dad thought Calz was losing at the end.

    If you saw any "utter domination" in the Ward - Kessler fight other than the last two rounds when Kessler mentally quit, you need a new pair of glasses. It was a fight where one fighter took a consistant lead in each round based on cleverness and picking the right shots. With not really that many punches landed clean, but his opponent landing less. Domination is what Wlad did to Chagaev.
