Could Kessler beat Miranda as decisive as Pavlik....

Kessler is the better boxer but Miranda hits harder. IMHO Kessler takes this one but we'll never know will we....

 

I actually agree with this, even if you do seem to be a Euro-hater.

 

Kessler takes both, but has a harder time with Pavlik. But he does beat him, I have no doubt.

 

Kessler does not deserve all the credit he receives he stepped to elite level once and lost! He is not elite.

 

I think Taylor could beat Miranda as well

 

Just to play devil's advocate, Pavlik's defense leaves a lot to be desired. JT hit him a lot, and with some good shots, so obviously he can take a shot, but a busier, stronger and more accurate puncher could do Pavlik a lot of damage, especially at 168. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Kessler beat Pavlik by late tko.

 

It doesn't really matter since the fight won't take place!

 

edit

 

No ... Pavlik is a stalking moving forward fighter and he didn't let Miranda's power be a factor.

Kessler is a boxer and he won't take the same approach as Pavlik because ... Kessler runs the risk of getting KO'd ... his chin hasn't been tested.

Kessler isn't the type of guy to stalk his opponent in hopes to back him up. I see Kessler using all of the ring hoping to beat Miranda to the punch ... I can see Miranda getting lucky and landing a big punch.

kesslers UD would be as decisive but no way it matches the brutal fashion in which Pavlik destroyed Miranda

 

Yes he would. It may not be such a brutal KO. But it would not be competitive at all.

 

You're honestly telling me that Pavlik is quicker, more skilled, faster on his feet and possessed of a better defence and chin than Kessler?

There's subjectivity and then there's nonsense.
