Hopkins would beat Kessler too

:rofl :rofl :rofl

Man it looks like you are propositioning him.

 

I have changed my opinion on that, I think Hopkins would beat Kessler too. Mainly because neither Calzaghe nor Pavlik's jab did ****, and that is Mikkel's weapon.

I don't think Kessler would get beaten that badly, he does not walk forward and play into Hopkins hands.

 

Maybe so but Kessler would smack Pavlik!

 

Hopkins beat Kessler no doubt. It wouldn't be as wide as last night, but it would be clear and unanimous. There are only 2 fights left for Hopkins: Dawson and Calzaghe. I very much hope it is the latter.

 

no he was exposed...it's not that he lost, its the WAY he lost


he was absolutely dominated from begging to end...did he look the undefeated middleweight champion the world to you?

did he look the 6th best pound for pound fighter in the world to you????

hell no....this wasn't like Cotto-Margarito where cotto's putting on a exhibition but then gets broken down by the bigger opponent

this was Calzaghe-Lacy....a young, strong, overhyped fighter, getting taken to school and then some.....by an much older opponent

dont give me that 170 weight bull**** either, i understand this wasnt his best weight but ****......the boy was EXPOSED

and by the way, yes Kessler would get exposed too....

 

I agree about Kessler. Kessler is too straight up.

I disagree about Pavlik fighting at this weight. Pavlik needs to pick up the pieces after this but he's a naturally big middleweight and he can definitely have some success at 168lbs in the future. I mean who's there really? He just came up against a master at the top of his game.

 

kessler is a much better boxer fundamentally he would give hopkins fits.

 

I think the main problem is Kessler would be standing his distance just trying to jab, but always falling short. Then Hopkins would do his charging in, landing a few quick shots and then tieing up on the inside. This would just happen over and over again I think. I prefer Kessler's defence to Pavlik, and stylistically he does not march forward into counters like Pavlik, and also he's a stronger guy. Pavlik got bullied on the inside. Still, overall its going to be a clear points win for Hopkins.

Kessler vs. Pavlik is a more interesting fight if Pavlik recovers sufficiently.

 

i still think kessler is a far better boxer than pavlik,better footwork..be i must say hopkins surprised me a lot,i haven even watch the fight yet,i can´t wait!!!

 

Kessler has never fought anyone near Hopkins except Calzaghe as saw what happened. Kessler has gone back to fighting Euros with guys like Sartison. And Pavlik with KTFO that Euro bum Kessler.

 

Im a huge Kessler fan and before this fight I would have disagreed with you. But after seeing Hopkins look so young and active I think you're right.

Kessler as a good boxer but lacks that real natural instinct like Hopkins and Calzaghe have. I think that is his weakness.
