    Who takes this if they were to fight towards the end of the year?

    I think Kessler will always struggle against a slick boxer as he will find it hard to time his punches and he wont be able to adjust.

    I feel at SMW Dirrell and Ward will have his number.

    How do you think he will fare against Bernard?

    I see the executioner leaving with the W

    They also have some history, seeing as they were both beaten by Calzaghe :lol:

    One more time: Bernard is not a common fighter, he is a true old school, ATG living legend. He would school them all to death. The reason he didn't to Chad or To Joey is...

    Kessler is perfect for Hopkins - even ancient Hopkins. Straight lines forward. Pavlik all over again.

    Hopkins would confuse and school Kessler, even at this stage.

    Bhop is a terrible style match up for Kessler.

    Because the judges couldn't make out of close rounds and gave it to the guy who threw ( and missed more punches) and the younger man. Bernard was never given a gift is his entire career but that's cool.
