Kessler past it/ kessler was always ovverated

That is the only thing I agree with.. he does look a bit less sharp. But remember that he hasn't really felt like boxing ever since Calzaghe, so he has done just what was neccesary. I see this fight at the first real sign that he is on the way back (and with a better trainer and some added value.

 

Nobody mentioned this but there's a real possibility Kessler is hiding an injury (back ??) that's chronicly affecting him.

Super middles should be in their primes at around 31, and he's clearly slipped from his superb form from just 2.5 years ago. (Ok, maybe not Eubank/Benn )

 

It's not as easy to look good against Froch as many seem to think. Kessler did his job and is on the right track. Before the Ward fight he was a little overrated, but he's not past it that's underrating him.

 

Ridiculous thread/poll. Kessler just outboxed, outbrawled and beat an undefeated champion.
