    Why does BIG DEE have to introduce himself in every post?

    Kessler easy, just compare film, it's not that hard. Erase the fact that you are watching legendary fighters with Conn and others in your mind and just watch them for what they are, then watch Kessler for what he is.

    It would be an amatuer vs. a top professional, thats a valid comparison.

    What has Kessler done besides lose to Calzaghe to gain this lofty status? to the point we are comparing and actually some of you are picking him to beat Billy Conn.......this is the most irritating example of overrating a guy. This is a classic example of hype and overrating. What for ****s sake has this guy done to merit this kind of esteem? a guy who isnt even close to having a full career yet or even won a championship? Next thing you know Joe C takes Joe Louis to school over 15. This just boils me over to the point of violence.

    What has Sonny Liston done besides embarassingly losing to Ali twice and annihilating a blown-up light-heavyweight twice?

    He beat a slew of contenders on the road to the title. That does more for his legacy than his unimpressive title reign.

    I believe Liston's beating of Cleveland williams X's 2 shows how good he was as well
