Calzaghe: "Kessler, you are the best I've fought; you should fight Hopkins!"

I'm not saying Kessler would beat Hopkins, but for sure he would have to work for the money.

 

Whats next for Kessler ?If Froch a factor for real these days or is he looking at the Taylor Lacy winner.

 

Froch is gonna get trashed vs Pascal

 

Nonsense. Kessler is very fast and technically sound, not to mention he hits like a mule, to be owned by Dawson and BHop. Those would be close, probably great fights, but I'd actually favor Kessler in both cases - too young for one and too powerful for the other.

 

Kessler would beat Hopkins imo.

Kessler has the main ingrediant that Taylor used to keep B-Hop honest and that is an excellent snappy jab in which Kessler works overtime on.

Thats not the only reason but it'll have to do for now as im off for me dinner.

 

I Believe Hopkins Would Walk Through Kessler The Same Way He Walked Through Pavlik. Hopkins Is A Very Tough Fighter To Get To, His Style Is Very Difficult To Adjust To

 

not likely. dumb comment award winner. atsch

 

Hopkins is tough but so to is Kessler.

Kessler is no slouch and up until he fought Calzaghe he had only ever lost a handful of rounds, let alone a fight!

Plus Kessler has an excellent workrate, he is massive for 168, a big puncher and technically very sound.

Hopkins looked good against a US hype job in Pavlik, who if we are all honest uses his size at 160 as an asset as he is geniunly fighting smaller guys than himself. And both times he has fought above 160 against Taylor and B-Hop he has struggled. By the way i called B-Hop to win 10-2/9-3.

B-Hop is an awkward fight for anyone but i think Kessler would be mentally tough enough to see a UD.

 

well to be honest I havent seen as much of kessler as I have hopkins
saw the cal fight and probably about 40-50 minutes of youtube clips

and style wise he seems similar to pavlik in that he is a bread and butter 1-2, circle and jab guy
havent seen him do a lot of inside fighting
think he is stronger than kelly though

 

lateral movement and angles are kesslers kryptonite...waste of a fight for b-hop

 

Respect For Your Shift-Hitting Skills - Aside From That I Totally Disagree With Your Post.

 

Except of course that Hopkins is an excellent fighter. But Kessler is underrated and has a stiff snappy jab, which noone including Hopkins can do something about.
