Im just saying that Kessler could beat (in his prime): Abraham Bute Froch Pascal Taylor Dawson Old Hopkins And so on.. Look at Froch's wins... Kessler could have the same resume and even better!! THATS WHAT I MEAN!!! FFS
@ Kessler beaing able to beat Hopkins. His career was just fine. He's making millions fighting stiffs in Danetown when he quit the Super 6. ****, give me that career please.
Still better than getting your ass run over against the first A level fighter in your career.. Took Bute 5 years from after winning his title to put it on the line on the road, Kessler did it in his first defense. Kessler= Iron chinned warrior. Bute= Jelly jawed hype job.
The difference being I didn't make a thread crying for Bute saying he could have done this or that and deserved more :neutral:
Now the real difference is, Bute DID deserve his Resume, and to bad for Kessler with the promoter problems, cuz with A real promoter Kessler would have ended Bute's hype at a time arround the Calzaghe fight....
Kessler has a hell of a career. Think what another win over Froch would do for it, mmmh... If Jim Braddock and Arturo Gatti are in the HOF, than so should be Kessler. I understand the idea that Kessler should have had a better career with better promoting, but I would say that in my opinion Kessler would never be an "era defining fighter," so where he lies is about as good as it gets. Nothing but respect for everything about Kessler.
good fighter, good career. unquestionable. mega star in his home country. respected by boxing fans the world over.
Lets agree.... Kessler PRIME > Froch PRIME Froch's Resume > > > Kesslers Resume... And that tells it all... Btw.. Kessler could VERY EASY have been world champion in 3 divisions, MW - SMW - LHW ...
