lets be REAL! You don't have to be a special fighter to beat Kessler.......

I guess that would be true if he really fought any1 special, Calzaghie whooped him, he beat Andrade & Mundine, come on get real.

 

Good Lord.

 

you can beat him probably ... you aint any special

 

probably best if the OP just hits the logout button and forgets his credentials, boxing obviously not his forte...

Wlad has no head movement and is very predictable, tell me how that worked out for him would you? lol

 

Flame on brother.

Seriously, I don't think this would even be a contest. The only reason Taylor lost was because he completely gassed. Kessler's only lost a few rounds in his career outside of the Calzaghe fight, he probably gave Calzaghe the third toughest fight of his career, and he's fought plenty of decent to good opposition.

As for the straight punches argument, Kessler is also a MUCH more accurate puncher than Taylor, and has much better lateral movement than Taylor, and Taylor never even tried to take advantage of the fact that Froch keeps his lead hand low. Kessler would just circle all night, throwing out the jab and 1-2 straight combinations.

I give Froch credit for having a good game plan against Taylor and beating him, but my opinion of him hasn't changed. He's still slow, he's still a mediocre boxer, and his assets are still his chin and his power, and to some extent his stamina. Kessler's never been wobbled in his career to my knowledge, and he's always been able to go 12 hard rounds. Take those advantages away from Froch, and he's a very ordinary fighter.

 

Yeah, that analysis proved how special he is.

 

According to Manny Steward Kessler gassed bc JC made him fight at a much higher pace than he was used too. Only a VERY fast southpaw with a mean chin can do that - Froch is none of those.

And FYI, Calzaghe only hurt Kessler once with a body shot (While JC was reeling from MK's bombs in rd 2, rd4 (twice), rd7, rd8 and rd12). The rest of the fight Kessler was mostly frustrated rather than getting hurt.

 

thank you the orcale of delphi

 

Those Froch fans are killing me...i mean, credit for his will and his power but damn...Kessler would beat him, bute too, Taylor in a rematch...yes.
Come on...

 

It's hard to fit Cal-hate, Kessler-hate, Andrade-hate, Taylor-hate and Froch-:love all into one post. Congraturation, a winner is you!

Cal beat Kessler so decisively because Cal is a good spoiler and is amazingly fast at adapting; it's just too bad that he never bothered to take intelligent risks with that. Kessler fought very well in that bout; if it had been a conventional A-/B+ opponent in front of him, he'd have won by 2-3 rounds, at least.

It takes a very special fighter to beat Kessler...
...namely, one that can get through ****-blocker Palle.

 

Kessler has only been beaten by a special fighter, whose combination of speed, adaptability and workrate may not be matched for quite a while. If Taylor had Kessler's stamina, he would have beaten Froch handily.

 

So true!

:good

 

:-(

 

Even his stamina is not that great, he always look slow in the late rounds. He dont throws a lot of punch and usually wait for his opponent to attack to counter. His very slow pace is what help his stamina stay to a decent level.
