Kessler has better speed, better Jab, better chin and has a great heart....he was WBA and WBC SMW champion It's not stupid, CLEARLY If they fought you think Pavlik would clearly, clearly win?? Like Hopkins said, other than Taylor and Miranda, he hasn't fought anybody worth shouting about.....and every one of thosebig fights was a struggle
Kessler knocks out Pavlik if they fight To that Aussie who says Kessler has no heart.....he defended his title away from home in Australia against Mundine, went to Wales to unify the titles against Calzaghe and lost a competetive fight.......beat Beyer in a few rounds, desroyed Andrade etc Pavlik hasnt left the USA and other than having Taylor's number he has not fought any world class fighters I mean Lockett followed by Hopkins??? Thats not good enough for a MW champion............
bottom line, kessler doesn't mind trading here and there and when he does he will get stopped, you will see if this fight happens
I saw the Mundine fight and to be quite frank with you I never rated Mundine as a true super middle champ, he literally hasn't beaten any1 apart from danny green, people think he's some tough warrior cause he done a hat-trick on sam soliman, he's lost to every world class fighter hes fought
He's definitely decent though....and my point was Kessler showed balls by making that fight his first defence....I mean it tops Pavlik's sham against Lockett, a LMW who never even won a British title.....
Pavlik has a good chin bro. It aint great but good. I see Pavlik using his reach against Kessler and the jab. Trust me I think Pavlik has the goods to outbox him and oh yeah I am a Kessler fan.
im not saying kessler isnt world class im just saying he's not as good as kelly pavlik whos probably the best so by no means does that degrade him
True, he hits harder but cant deny the reach and Pavlik is more consistent going to the body. Kessler is a pure head hunter.
I've never said Pavlik was a bad fighter by the way....I just think Kessler is better in all departments other than power
you can nulify reach by fighting on the inside or establishing your jab early on by beating your opponent to the shot.....and as we've seen Kessler has a mean uppercut and a robotic jab with snap
