This dude has 41 fights and the only known name is Calzaghe to whom he lost, and yet people are saying he is the best super middleweight in the world, This why has fought no one, he is not proven, he tried to prove something and lost, He is avoiding all the good fighters and fighting bums, He is waiting for big names fighters to be shot and them fight them when he is 35 or so and other are well past their prime, just like Calzaghe is doing, at least calzaghe had 2 guys from the Contender wish you people seem to find amazing. This dude is a joke, If he wants to be great please fight someone worth watching you fight.
Calzaghe, Andrade, Lucas, Beyer, Mundine and Siaca are all more than credible and if you haven't heard of them then that says more about you than Mikkel Kessler.........
Kessler needs to fight somebody with a pulse fast. I wanna see him whoop Bute or Froch,Dawson would **** him up though so I think he should stay away from Chad.
Dawson never whoops Kessler ever.......Dawson struggled with Johnson and looked good against a 40 year old..... Dawson then calls out a 37 year old in Calzaghe so what makes you think Chad wants, never mind beats Mikkel Kessler??
There are bunch of well known names out there that can make him a start if he really blieves he is one, this guy is just ducking everyone who presents a treat, face it !
:good For a guy thats not rated in the P-4-P top ten its a solid resume. I'd back him to comfortably win against anyone else in the SMW division. Further north at LHW he would also hold his own, but has major obstacles to overcome in defeating the likes of Calzaghe, Dawson and Hopkins (Glen Johnson would probably give him some problems as well, but I'd pick Kessler to emerge in this one).
He doesn't personally duck anyone.....Dawson hasn't left the comfort of the US of A yet has he??? Kessler fought Joe Calzaghe in Wales, Anthony Mundine in Australia and has fought in Germany before....on top of that he frequently travels to the States looking for fights I believe Mikkel Kessler would fight anybody if he was able to make the decision himself
Dude the USA is the mecca of boxing, and if you fight here why the **** would you go somewere else ? all the best fighter fight there, thats like an actress moving from Hollywood to persue a career in Wales.
It can't be hype when he held the 2 most prestigious belts in his division and fought in front of 50,000 people against the most decorated Super Middle ever to date.....it just can't be hype and you know it really
Thats What !!!, can we start this thread again with Dawson being scrutinised.......please kessler beats everyone at SM and LH, if anyone cant see class in his work then they cant see ****. They say he is robotic, so are the Klitschko's, and Haye's toolbox virtually only holds a lunging left hook / straight right hand combo... and those guys arent doing to bad eh......
YOU'RE a joke. :twisted: 'the only known name' - How about Markus Beyer (world champ at the time), Anthony Mundine (former world champ), & Manny Sciaca (world champ at the time. If (as I suspect you are) you're one of these ignoramuses that thinks that unless a fighter is American he doesn't count then how about Librado Andrade (undefeated at the time, who nigh on became a world champion being robbed vs. Lucian Bute), or Eric Lucas (OK, he's Canadian) Better still, give the name of someone at 168lbs who could beat him. Finally, tell me someone at 175 bar Calzaghe who could beat him - And don't say Chad Dawson, 'cos Kessler would knock him out - and I hope he gets the chance to!
Both Tarver and Johnson would beat Kessler. Newsflash, Calzaghe beat the crap out of Kessler. and is clearly better than Kessler. Team Dawson already said he would fight Kessler. Meanwhile Team Kessler claims Dawson is a CW(Dawson comes to camp at about 177) and says that they have no interest in making that fight.
