I think Kessler has done everything right, since he fought Dingaan Thobela. Big praise to JC for daring taking this fight also. May the best man win... or as they say - Who dares win.
For what its worth I dont think Andrades as bad as Kessler made him look. If you think about it, he has a granite chin, proven heart and some power, so despite being no world beater and a tad one dimensional, only good boxers would be able to beat him imo.
we all remember your so called analysis of how mutch money this fight could generate! and we all remember your statements of how big a joke the kessler camp were for demanding 4-5 mill $ i guess kessler are glad u are not his manager, the big fantastic boxingprofessor Blocky
kessler and lacy isnt exactly two of a kind so why is it od kessler isnt gonna rewatch that fight? i wouldnt expect jc to watch the kessler-andrade fight mutch either
The bad thing for Kessler was really Mads Larsen. Too bad Larsen got the fight against Sven Ottke. Since the Siaca fight you can not put a finger on Kesslers resume. I think he has taken some chances and he is confident about the fight against Calzaghe as well. In fact it doesn't matter who he has fought before, it doesn't matter who is better Andrade or Lacy, in fact I would like to see that fight for sure Lacy would be the strong favorite but he has to do better than against Veit. In Blocky's world everything is black or white. This is not the case in boxing. And I dont really think that you get that much recognision here on ESB for your views. Your socalled analyses are so flawed and biased that it is totally wrong to start any discussion with you. But I have one question. How high possibility do you think Calzaghe has of beating Kessler?
Kessler's last 5 opponents have probably been slightly better (overall) than Calzaghe but i think we can all agree that both fighters haven't fought A1 class guys in the last 5 fights each................. Maybe Mundine did have the potential but apart from that all the rest were B+ fighters at best.
Calzaghe's Last 5 opponents: Manfredo- nobody Bika- solid fighter Lacy- IBF Champ Ashira- who? now fightin in LMW Veit- Stiff, slow German hype Kessler's last 5 opponents: Andrade- at the time no 1 in WBC Beyer- WBC champ Lucas- former Champ Mundine-at the time no 1 in WBA, current ranked no 3 in the world Siaca- WBA champ IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!!!!!!!
:good but I still think Joe's a Great fighter.....looking forward to see him bring out the best in my man Kess :bbb
i think joe is an awsome fighter just like i think kessler are, i just think joe has waisted so f.... mutsh of his prime when compared to how fare kessler already have gotten in 5-6 fights
Well regardings Joe's resume ...sure he could have done better but you know it takes 2 to make a match (actually 4 :deal ). My issue with Joe isn't the Fighters he's fought it's the way the matches have been dealt with ....quite a few have been out of the Circus. (but then again it takes 2 to tango) I still believe that GREAT Figters are made by GREAT Fights!!! So Joe still having a Chance of Capturing my respect as being truely GREAT (Kessler allready done that )
