    Kessler is a good fighter at best. He is basic and has not defeated anyone to be mentioned in the same breath as Hopkins. Bhop said the same himself. Maybe Kessler can take on Tarver at 175 or Glen lets see if he has all this power you say or if he gets knocked the **** out.

    Are people forgetting hops losses to Taylor. kessler can do everything Taylor can do, but his jab is better and as is his workrate and power. I dont see a wide decision either way but he'll find Kessler is a lot more comfortable at the 170lb limit than Kelly Pavlik and he may find himself not being the bully of the fight.

    Kessler on points for me. Close though Hop is a tough fight for anyone.

    Kessler is a robot. Hopkins would look like Mayweather in the ring against Kessler.

    You must educate yourself.

    Haussler is certainly no BHOP but I think I saw a 1-2-3-Bang! in the Haussler-Kessler fight. There is more to Kessler than 1-2s but just how much at the absolute top level remains to be seen.

    "Definetely"? :think

    How is your prediction "accurate" when you have been ridiculously unfair to Kessler, calling him a "robot".
    Ask Joe, to this day... he says Kessler is the truth.

    And I would definitely not write him off like you just did by saying he is "robotic".

    You're a joke.

    I wouldn't say Kessler is the same as Pavlik, but he is very similar and I think you're in denial if you can't admit that. Kessler has faster hands, faster feet, better balance, so he is an UPGRADED version of Pavlik.

    The fight would be more competitive but Hopkins takes a fairly easy UD. I see hopkins winning 8-4 or 9-3.

    Listen, if Calzaghe could figure out Kessler and take away his gameplan after the first 3 or 4 rounds, there is no reason why Hopkins couldn't do the same. Nard is the master at taking away his opponents best weapon and Kessler is to reliant on his 1-2's (much like pavlik or tarver), he simply doesn't have enough weapons to beat hopkins, just like he didn't have any thing else to beat Calzaghe.

    Kessler.


    What fight fans would witness is what they thought they were going to see when Pavlik fought BHop.

    Difference is, Kessler is a top notch boxer. Pavlik isn't (yet, at any rate).

    Kessler is bigger and stronger, and hits harder than Kelly.


    He wins by UD, or perhaps stoppage.

    This is not accurate at all. Try watching Kessler as opposed to regurgitating some of the nonsense spewed on here.

    The 1-2 is his basic fundemental, but he has a good left hook and uppercut. He knocked Haussler's head off with a left hook. That's not to say Haussler is good, but it shows he has a left hook. We saw the uppercuts stun Calzaghe.

    I don't know who Kessler has beaten that would make anybody think he would have a chance against Hops. Nard would make Kessler look clumsy, he has way too much skill and experience...

    Hopkins WIDE UD
