    Try and get this into your skull... Please
    Yes, I have said that, but havent said it wasnt a decent win. Those comments were in context to another discussion and not a discussion about Wards best win, which is what we are on now and yes I think its very likely now that Kessler was Wards best win.
    Concentrate on this thread not specific SMW threads.

    You are getting caught up with those insecurity issues again.

    Read below how I have tried to explain it to you previously. Read them through and let them sink in

    Its like if I wrote I dont think Tyson was at his best when he fought Douglas. It isnt saying the win isnt good or that I wouldnt put it as anything less than Douglas best win.

    I have said that I feel it could be Wards best win and I think its a decent win even if Kessler did have vision problems.
    I read (I think it was Frazier) was blind in one eye but that was still a decent win for Ali and Foreman

    There's really no point in us keeping this going. We clearly disagree. Hopefully you see that you were wrong to doubt my knowledge of the division before the super 6 took place.

    The rest of your post I would just be disagreeing with by going over the same points over and over, as you are now doing with me too, there is no point. We will have to agree to disagree.

    The only other thing, Abraham was beginning to come back into that fight and was winning rounds despite the low blows holding him back, and then the DQ happened, so it is unknown what might have happened otherwise.

    We both know what's happening here.

    You're just trying to backtrack.

    You clearly didn't rate the win when you said those things. And even if I believed that you thought that it was still decent despite those factors, it obviously can't trump moving up to LHW and stopping a dangerous fighter who was in his prime.

    We'll leave it there. It's pointless taking it any further.

    Where have I backtracked dummy?
    I havent disputed writing those comments.
    Its not about how I rate it.
    I dont rate that win as highly as several other SMW wins in history where those comments could be applied more.
    What I am just agreeing to is that it could be Wards best win and decent.

    Again, by your own admission, Kessler was faded, rusty, and had issues with his eyes.

    Kovalev was a prime LHW who was a huge puncher, who you personally rated highly, telling me that you think he would have taken out a prime version of Roy inside 3 rounds.

    So how can Andre beating a faded and injured Kessler at SMW, be as good as him stopping a prime version of Kovalev up at LHW?

    Surely his win over Kovalev has to rank higher.
