    Not really, Kessler has a much better jab and to be honest a better boxing brain. I think this is closer than a lot of people think.

    BTW I feel Kessler beats GGG.

    Kessler is tough and would have his moments he wouldn't be stopped but he would lose a decision to Kovalev.

    Your obsession with GGG is getting out of control!! You still have the NBA, if things don't turn out as you want (which will be the case).

    Its a tough one. The Kessler who fought Calzaghe and prior was a monster, and too mant people forget that. If he was naturally a little bigger he would give Sergei all kinds of hell

    I think Kovalev does everything better than Kessler.
    I got Kov.
    Both lack a good left hook upstairs though

    His jab isn't better. Their jabs are different so it is harder to compare, but I wouldn't say it is better outright.

    Kessler is massively underrated here. In his prime he would be very competitive with Kovalev. He was injury plagued for his whole career.

    Kovalev is a bigger, harder punching and more durable Sergio Martinez.Kessler is Pavlik. It would be Pascal all over again except Kessler isn't as reckless so would probably not **** Kovalev off as much and might make it to the 9th.
