What has Mikkel Kessler done to warrant such a high rating?

    He looked absolutely dominated and confused against Calzaghe, He did good against Mundine but any elite fighter would beat mundine, what makes kessler so much better than all the other smws out there? is it because the calzaghe fans want him to be ranked higher which in turn means calzaghe is rated higher? I don't understand based on accomplishments I don't see who he has beaten that you can compare to a Froch or Jermain Taylor

    Watch some fights - he would smoke any SMW there is.

    You said it. You don';t understand - boxing, dude. Either go watch some fights and if you already have there is no remedy for lack of intelligence.

    He didn't get dominated. He was beaten by Calzaghe cleanly but not dominated.

    He whooped Andrade 12-0 and Andrade just gave the #2 SMW in the world the fight of his life.

    He also beat Mundine who is a top 10 SMW.

    I'm not convinced that Kessler is as great as everyone raves about. He needs to fight some tougher competition.

    Mundine is the 2nd best SMW out there behind Kessler. Sure he has had some bad fights. But if were jugding on talent and ability hes 2nd.

    Show Kessler some more respect.

    Froch? Who has he beaten, a shot Reid, and a series of barely European Level Fighters. 31 and has not beaten anyone in the top 10-15 at SMW. He is a big puncher but his resume is pathetic. To Use him as a stick to beat kessler with is laughable.
