Andre Dirrell has fought 20 times and lost one. Kessler 45 and lost two. Where is your respect for boxing in general, when you cant/will not see that Kessler has just contributed more to boxing than André, and still do. Ward and André should soon put there primadonna attitude on hold and start boxing!

So they have nearly the same fights to losses ratio, what's your point? Kessler was in more title fights that's it. If you look at quality you can't say one has contributed more than the other.

It's weird to say direll has no heart yet i seen AA get the most votes in the hardest hitter thread on her yesterday. I think isn't as big as froch's but its still fine.

The same people who say Dirrell is an actor and he wasn't really hurt by AA are the people who vote for AA as the hardest puncher. Go figure.

I love how you say that the only top fighter Kessler has beaten in his 11 worldchampionship fight is Froch (proberbly because he has beaten Dirrell) and then goes on to say that Abraham should be counted as a topfighter i SMW although he holds a record of 4 wins and 3 loses, while fighters like Siaca, Beyer, Lucas and Andrade apparently do not count as "top-fighters".

You can try all you want, but Dirrell gets beat on resume by Kessler easy. Kessler is a three times worldchampion with 11 championship fights and 9 wins - those championshipfights include 4 fights abroad.

But again that doesn't mean that Kessler will beat him - it just means that Kessler is a much more proven fighter than Dirrell.

And it means that the fight is very unlikely - There is no reward in beating Dirrell at this point. If they fight now and Kessler wins, then all that will be writen after the fight is that Dirrell was overrated/hyped - no chin - no heart (depending on how he lost). On top of that - he doesn't really draw a crowd and he doesn't really sell TV + he holds no belt - add to all of that the fact that Dirrell feels he got robbed in Europe, so he is proberbly going to be too expensive to get to Denmark and he can't afford to bring Kessler to the US - especially with nothing else to offer.

So a fairly risky fight for Kessler with little reward. Dirrell have to take a few fights and prove that he is as good as you make him out to be - then we can talk ... before then the fight just isn't going to happen.

What was AA's record before fighting Dirrell? Who did most people pick to win this fight and then the tourney? And NOW after Dirrell exposed AA's flaws and laid the blueprint on how to beat him you're saying he's not a top fighter. Hindsight is 20/20.

Siaca, Beyer, Lucas and Andrade are not worldclass fighters. Titles don't mean nothing it's about who you beat for those titles.
