Is Mikkel Kessler the best fighter who Joe's faced?

that question will be answered after the fight.

 

Chris Eubank.

 

Definately. Kessler is in his prime, where Eubanks was over the hill and Lacy was too green. They are his greatest wins and in my mind Kessler is a notch above both right now.

And I think Kessler can raise his level against Calzaghe, who he wont be able to dominate like his previous opponents. Kessler wins UD..

 

Id say that so far the best fighter joe has faced was an old weight drained Eubank, so yeah Kessler will be the best opponent he has faced.

 

Kessler is by far the best. The only names that comes close is Eubank, and Eubank was clearly past it when they fought. Not so old, but anyone that was following boxing at the time knew Chris was past it.

Even a prime Eubank is a step behind Kessler imo. However, Kessler-Eubank would still be a see-worthy fight. Those days with Collins, Eubank and Benn were great days for British SMW, but a very weak period for the weight as such.

 

I'll put it this way, Eubank for the Calzaghe bout, was in a similiar condition as to Calzaghe is at 34-35.

So if Kessler wins, he gets massive credit for defeating Calzaghe, but let's keep the credit into accordance if we want to be UNBIASED.

Eubank was well fit for the Calzaghe fight.

 

I think so!

 

I'm still laughing at that 10mins after seeing it.

Seriously Deram, when you gonna get your tongue out of Kessler's ass ?

 

Eubank will prob be always be considered the best JC has ever faced. Mikkel will take amazing amounts of credit if he wins but if JC comes out on top I would still side with Eubank. Depends on the manner of the win, whoever gets it.

 

Lacy might have been. Kessler is probably the most proven threat.

Don't sell Lacy short. EVERYONE thought he was a prime fighter who would likely crush Calzaghe. He was instead given a thorough beatdown, the worst many have seen.

 

Most boxers are in their prime at 28-32 , it is a combination of experience and physical abilities.

 

eubank was an extremely perplexing puzzle to solve but as stated... he was past his peak when they fought. kessler is his greatest challenge to date

 

He'll be the best until after the fight then it will be claimed he was overrated.

 

Kessler is still unproven compared to Eubank so it's hard to say if he is a better fighter than an in decline Eubank. I personally can't imagine Kessler giving prime Thompson a life and death struggle at cruiserweight so I'll say Kessler is not the best fighter Calzaghe has face.
