    Ward wins a shut out. He executes his game plan perfectly as Kessler is a fairly effective one trick pony. He would lose to Ward 10 times out of 10.

    Wards biggest test will come against someone who can adapt to his style during the fight. Calzaghe-Ward would be a very interesting, though ugly, fight

    Calzaghe nutthugging to its maximum.

    Calzaghe nutthuggers need to praise Sartison to make Kessler look better to make Calzaghe look better.

    Also.

    They need to call the Kessler that Ward beat more easily, shot so the Calzaghe win looks better than the Ward win.

    To many people seem unable to resist turning any thread into a calzaghe hate thread. This is about Ward vs Kessler.

    If Kessler gets himself back into the condition and form he had prior to Calzaghe, I don't see Ward dealing well with him - he shuts down speed due to the precise jab which he's seemingly stopped throwing.

    People will say "Because he hasn't fought elite fighters" but who the **** is Ward? A new guy on the scene receiving Lacy like hype.

    Ward would beat any version of Kessler no matter what time machine you want to use. Fact is, Kessler was never that good which is why he hid away in Denmark most of his career. His most important fight is against another hide and seek artist.

    Ward easily dominated the first time

    I can only imagine what he does the second time

    Easy win for Kessler... Ward would have had to use both head and elbows much more and would surely be DQ...

    Only Ward fans would say that Kessler hasent faded since 2007, Many said before the Ward fight that Kessler was an "old" 30 year old.

    The tale of the tape shows both men are virtually identical in all physical categories. The main difference is that Ward is five years younger, and Bernstein says it's a fair question to wonder if Kessler is an "old" 30 since he has logged plenty of rounds and had some injury problems.

    2007 Kessler version outside Oakland and we would have a 50/50 fight

    Today rematch in Oakland no way Kessler takes it..

    Kessler has faced quite a few SMW fighters ranked in the ring top 10 in his career, but it is probably asking too much of boxing fans to actually do some research.

    BTW big Kessler fan here, but Ward has got Kessler's number. Montoya would have to work wonders with Kessler if he's to beat Ward.
