    Kessler has a huge weakness in his game, he's so vulnerable to right hands its ridiculous. Sartison made his eyes roll from a right hand, hell even Haussler hit him with a couple of right hands.

    Taylor would take his head off with the right gameplan.
    Kessler is good, but he's flawed as hell!

    ^^^

    If it was a huge weakness, Andrade would have also 'taken his head off' surely?

    Andrade had no jab to make Kessler look away from the right hand coming though, there's a difference.:deal

    Pavlik can pretty much be hit at will though - Taylor didn't take his head off either!!

    Kesslr by UD - Taylor tastes Kessler's power in the first 2 rounds and fights scared for the rest of the fight.

    Watch the first round in the Sartison fight, watch the Calzaghe fight and then the few moments Haussler had in their outing.

    Listen, Kessler is a VERY good boxer with a super jab.

    But, I am not sold on him yet.. he's going to be exposed soon by someone that can throwdown with him without getting outgunned by athletecism.

    As you can see, I am a big Taylor fan :lol: I would be rooting for him against a fellow scandinavian boxer.

    You're like Pavlov's dog with your knee-jerk reaction to stuff like this, with your big dumb tongue slavering away while you hammer-time it in here and diddypop and throw it down on your keyboard...save your hoodspeak for the lesser educated folk in your life and try speaking with slightly less bias towards black American fighters, Dayday :lol:

    Kessler is ***** made? He had the balls to fight Calzaghe in Wales, after seeing him demolish one of your earlier hypejobs in Lacy. One of your big tough homegrown convicts acted like a ***** faking low blows when Calzaghe came over here and fought him in his backyard. Who's bitchmade again Dayday? :hey

    You won't be happy until every last one of your boys has been spanked and sent home with their tails between their legs eh?

    Don't you remember how ****ed Taylor looked against Spinks? :lol:

    Kessler would dismantle him, Calzaghe would ruin him :yep

    Quick question for ya sweety. Out of the BHOP Calzaghe fight. Who got ****ed up and put on there ass. :rofl:rofl Bhop didnt even look like he was in a fight you simple ass euroshittle. GTFO. You gumps fight in two weight divisions..:rofl with mediocre success against old washed up vets or has been-never was. And again, Kessler aint got **** to back up his stature. Oh, he fought Calzaghe in Wales, so the **** what. He showed how limited he was with the same 1,2 over and over and over. He is limited as **** and he is soft and ***** made. Calzaghe aint ruining ****, he cant even knock out Tarver and Glen Johnson's left overs.

    Here's my dawg :yep

    I just rewatched the Calzaghe Hopkins fight last night, so I'm glad you asked me this question.

    From halfway through round 3, Calzaghe took over. Hopkins didn't look like he'd been in a fight because he was on his bicycle for the rest of the fight.

    On the few occasions he engaged, he came off second best, and continued to stay away from Calzaghe. Apart from a cut on his nose from the first round KD, Calzaghe looked fresh as a daisy at the end of the fight - Hopkins was still getting his breath back when Kellerman was interviewing him.

    Apart from the first 2 rounds, the only time Hopkins showed any aggression or interest in taking the fight to Calzaghe was after his 3 minute rest period when he faked the low blow. Calzaghe started getting to him again in the corner so he faked another one that the ref didn't buy.

    Now, going with your logic that Hopkins looked better than Calzaghe at the end of the fight and therefore should be considered the winner, if Calzaghe's punches are so light, why was Hopkins so hesitant to engage and win the fight? Oh, I know, he's old, right? Then he went off on a trek to deepest, darkest Peru and found the elixir of life, bottled it, brought it back, and under the careful tutelage of Nazim Richardson, turned back the clock 20 years and disposed of Pavlik. This is why he would KO Calzaghe in a rematch. :lol:

    You really are an ignorant ****.

    Try using paragraphs next time you spray your keyboard with drool when you type your crap buddy.

    Someone please tell how do Hopkins & Kessler relate besides both having fought Calzaghe?
