Kessler, 1 of the best B level fighters in my time, can he become an A level fighter?

So who did Ward beat to become an A fighter, cause Kessler is the only decent name on his resume. The rest are all C fighters (Bika is a c+).

Or is it one rule for some ...

 

Bika is B level. Solid world class, like Froch, for example, maybe a little less good.

 

So you rate Bika and Kessler as equals? :roll:

 

Kessler > Bika. But they're not a class apart. Kessler vs. Bika would be a competitive, hard fight.

 

I talked to Kalle Sauerland and Mikkel Kessler today. Kessler didn't want to look past his next opponent, but Kalle Sauerland made it all clear: Kessler is fighting in Denmark to get back to buisness and lose that bit of rust he might carry due to his layoff.

After that they want Lucien Bute. In Canada. Kalle stated, that there was no way Bute would want to come to Denmark, so they'd be happy to fight in Canada.

And, according to Kalle Sauerland, then they want the winner of the Super Six. With Showtime Kalle Sauerland thinks that fight will happen in the US, if Kessler beats Lucien Bute.

Bonus info: I believe, Mikkel Kessler will retire if he loose one of those three fights.

 

Bute should be fighting Kessler in autumn, not Pavlik...

 

Joe didnt need referee help to beat Kessler so no Kessler would not have beaten Calzaghe in Denmark. Ward would have been disqualified if the fight had occured anywhere but California with fair officials.:good

 

Look at the CV and tell me they are not a class apart .

 

Bika gave all of Calzaghe, Bute and Ward some of their closest, hardest fights.

They are not a class apart, no.

 

Bika gives anyone a hard fight due to his rough and tumble style, crucially he still loses his biggest fights.

 

He only lost against B to B+ or better fighters in close, hard fights. Does that make him C+. Of course not.

 

Using letters to grade a guys ability only goes so far, i mean seriously its as simple as Kessler is (or at least was) on another level to Bika, you dont need letters to grade everything.

 

This is good and true.

 

Bika himself disagrees with you. He was sparring Kessler in preparation for Andrade and said that Kessler is in a class of his own.

 

How did you see that?
