Is there anyone on Hopkins record that could beat Kessler...

...aside from Roy Jones Jnr who of course defeated the old ******* with something to spare in 1993

Whilst the old ****s trainer was making a tit of himself in stating that Kessler had not defeated anyone of note and neither for that matter had Calzaghe before hilariously citing the old ****s marquee wins over two blown up welterweights as proof of his awesome competition i found myself asking the question could anyone on Hopkins record actually beat the Viking warrior except superman Roy ?

I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter

 

taylor wink

 

Honestly, I don't think anyone on b-hops record could cause kessler problems. Aside from RJJ of course

 

Jones Jr is the only one, none of the comp that he beat could have. Prime/prime Kessler/Hopkins is also a toss up.

 

And why do you think that ?

 

While Calzaghe ist the better of the two (as recently demonstrated), the irony here is that Joe would probably merely UD, Bernard.

Kessler would stop him.

 

I must say Winky Wright is a bit more acceptable(although i believe Kessler is a horrible style match up for him especially given the version that was narrowly defeated by Hopkins)

but i cannot for the life of me understand people saying Taylor...especially given recent performances

 

Yea Taylor and wink could...I'm not saying they'd be favored but they have a chance to beat him.

Don't forget about Glenn Johnson either...he would definitely have a chance to win. I think it would be a 50/50 fight.

 

Johnson would have troubled Kessler. Jones would have beaten him. Wright is too small. Taylor would probably get stopped as Kessler is a better version of Pavlik.

 

So Jones, the guy who beats just about anybody prime/prime. Yep.

 

winky wright IMO at 170lbs was slow of foot and hand and that was against a 42 year old.

i do not see a 168lb winky wright beating kessler.

 

Johnson's pressure would cause issue's, other than that he has nothing to be considered 50/50. At best Johnson would take some rounds and lose 8-4.

I think Johnson would lose wider than that though.

 

Hopkins is not the current best LHW, not even close.

 

Hopkins isn't the best LHW. If he was, he would fight one.

 

Everyone, please notice how sean doesn't even bother putting the case against Taylor...:yep
