Does everyone now accept that Mikkel Kessler was not "RUINED" by the Calzaghe defeat?

    One thing that bothered me in the Froch fight is that Froch is a sitting duck for a good 1-2. Kessler used to have one of the best 1-2's in the biz, but he hardly used it aganst Froch.

    boo, this was painfully clear. froch was trying to fight off his back foot and was actually succeeding very well since kessler was looping his shots very badly and froch had soooooo many times to counter and mout his offense. froch actually said after the fight that it was his fault since he didnt press the offense when he had his chances.

    kessler landed one clean, short crisp right hand and the only reason it landed was b/c froch was lunging in w/ his face a la librado andrade and it hurt him bad. so he still has the punch. he still has the courage and heart and stamina. he just needs to back to his basics b/c ward, bute, dirrell and **** it i'll say it...martinez...will do the same thing to him.

    Never thought the Calzaghe fight ruined Kesserl not for a second. Kessler was beaten, but not broken. + the fight was way more competitive than some people seems to think.

    Froch was forced on the backfoot by Kessler. That was Kessler's gameplan: to force Froch on the backfoot and going to the body to slow him down. Look what happened when Froch was allowed to put the heat on Kessler, was it in round 5? Kessler seemed very troubled then.

    Those blatant and disgraceful headbutts certainly tore up his face alright.

    Ward is the one who ruined Kessler. He would have smashed Froch to bits in his prime

    Kessler was ruined by Ward.....who then put on a good show and beat Froch.

    Sometimes ESB's logic escapes me....:huh

    Or, is it just that Calzaghe and Ward are VASTLY superior fighters to Andrade?
