    Why not support a fight - and then we can see who is right? Rather than being so scared of the fight that you try to find all kinds of reasons why it should NOT happen?

    Don't be scared. Look at this thread. Most people think Kessler would win.. Why should Kessler fight Hopkins when most people already thinks he is better - would be a better question. Yet, Kessler is ready. If you believe in Hopkins and spend so much time discussing this fight, then why not support that it is made and then we can see who is right?

    Come on. :smoke

    I want this fight more than you do. It's pretty safe picking Kessler when you know it will NEVER HAPPEN, eh? Tell me in some detail, tactically, exactly how Kessler would win this fight. No more empty bull****.

    I dont have to engage or start dialogue with anyone. Im just stating my opinion about the match up and what my thoughts about kessler. Where on this forum does it states i have to engage a dialogue with someone? I called him a hype fighter and what did you respond? "Your a waste of Bandwith ? " Clearly your not backing your opinion at all instead just responding with nonsense !

    Not true, 1. In my book Hopkins won over Calzaghe
    2. I think Kessler if not win, can give Hopkins a very hard fight

    No you don't. When all the rest of us say "Great fight, we hope it will happen!", you say "why should it happen? Hopkins could fight ... ??? instead".

    Face it. You don't want it.

    Kessler wants it.

    Does Hopkins?

    Be real.

    I think Kessler gives just about anyone a hard fight... He may not beat everyone, but his skills are undeniable

    I think Kessler will have a fair bit of trouble with certain styles, but dominate others.

    Once Bhop takes Kessler's jab away, the fight is over. Kessler is very athletic and has underrated speed but he is very basic. How anyone could think he'd beat a Bhop who's going to let his hands go for 12 rounds is beyond me.

    Isnt that pretty obvious? Kessler saw what Hopkins did to Pavlik, and Hopkins will try something similar to Kessler. IT is not rocket science. However, Hopkins' speed meant that Kelly coul;dn't do much about it. Kessler probably can - says the majority.

    Besides for Kessler actually planning for Hopkins' counters, Kessler's jab is far more difficult to counter. Kessler is one of the most precise punchers in the game and has KOed people with the jab alone. Dangerous trying to counter it. Pavlik just sticks out a jab but there is little speed nor precision in it.

    At least you gave it a shot.. You're alright in my book for that. Just go easy on the propoganda campaign.
