http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WbHrYELQPw4 Here's a good Mikkel Kessler video if you have not seen much of him. He has all the attributes of a great fighter and will be recognised around the world when some top fighters decide to finally fight him. He's definitely not robotic, maybe a machine, but not robotic.
All the attributes. Where is his heart? Headmovement? FLuid boxing skills? Before we go around claiming Kessler great, lets see him beat a great fighter first, or move up in weight and do something impressive.
He showed a lot of heart against Calzaghe, he never gave up. Also against Andrade who just kept coming but Mikkel never folded like Bute.
Headmovement? if you watch his fights you would notice he use hes feetmovement as defence, hes very quick on hes feet, allmost never get hit.. well except against Calzaghe, but those were not hard single shots!
No he's not, He is only 29 and is very good, Has fast ahnds + ko power. He is above good, You obviously did not see the fight with andrade. Watch that then get back to me.
I dont call fighting to survive from round 6-11, and only coming out for the 12th when the fight is in the bag, showing heart. It was the same thing with Zab Judah in the Mayweather fight. Its called leaving your balls in the corner.
Watched the videos: This is ****. The Bute win was so much more convincingly against Andrade, and Calzaghe schooled Kessler and therefore a rematch is pointless! Does anybody paying attention anymore. Kessler only fights EU-bums, and Hopkins, Taylor, Wright, and Pavlik should never be forced to fight this EU-trash. Why? Because Kessler isn't a name in US. Kessler is from UK, but lives in the capital of Sweden who everybody knows is Copenhagen. HBO proclaims boxing is dieing specially after DLH and Jones has turned down a fight against Manfredo at ppv". Only place in the world boxing still is alive, is outside of US. As HBO stats: " How in hell should we make any money, if only the rest of the world is interested in competitive boxing fight?" Therefore HBO will have to close in side a year or two.
"that guy" oh that explains everything DUMBASSatsch The same could have been said about Calzaghe 2-3 years ago, now hes the best SM in the history and P4P runner up...How about we judge boxers when they retire !? Ottke is that guy, when we look at things like we should, back in time.
