    Miranda's not even a gatekeeper at this point, he's a doormat.
    Kessler would be a huge step up for Ward. But then, Kessler's fought tomato cans for over a year now, and Ward's a slick, skilled boxer who can switch-up, so he could give Kessler problems. At this stage, I'd go with Kessler. Don't know about 5 rounds though.

    Miranda is not everything he thinks he is. However, he is a serious opponent as Abraham found out the first time. And as Green found out.

    He is a serious treat, but Kessler is of course still a step up, but Ward is destined for greatness and will make that step sooner rathr than later.

    Hmm, why is that? The only thing similar to that on his resume are named Haussler and Beyer (KOd).


    In fact, with the exception of old men, near bums and/or novices there are zero fights on his record to make any argument of "Kessler brutal KO 8". Wouldn't it seem more reasonable and less like hype to give a more modest prognostication?

    Or, is this part of the Kessler dream fight series? You know, where he doesn't actually fight anyone BUT IF he did he would surely blah, blah, blah, blah :blabla.

    even fight...id favour Ward in the US...Kessler in Denmark..

    Home advantage is key.

    Kessler is very robotic ...straight line fighter...who looks good against average opposition.

    Ward has faced average opposition and also looks good.

    We know Kessler cant win at top level...he found his limit ..was alos suprised to see Kessler hurt by Calzage to the body...joes never been a good body puncher.....


    I think this is a better match up for Kessler...than Froch...Froch would decipate this dude.

    That would be a very very good fight. Still I would like Andre to take this fight after he is cahmpion. I think he needs one or two more fights to win this one.

    There's quite a few negative comments on there, but, of course, my favorites are the outright nuthuggery ones I can actually understand (It's all Danish to me):
    "Ward has just beaten Miranda. That doesn't qualify him as a serious test at the top level."
    "Mikkel Kessler : One Of The Great´st Gladiators - the world will ever see... * The Sound Of Hard Metal Against Shields."

    ...but, naturally, there's a bunch along the lines of:
    "Mikkel Kessler vs a LIVE opponent....u must be joking...is it april fools?"

    So, apparently, ESB's not unique in its overall view of the guy.
