While Kessler isn't the same I'm not ready to agree on Cleverly beating him. Kessler isn't that far gone yet
Kessler would destroy Clev, even now. Cleverly is 100% paper champion and got exposed v Bellew, and in any other step up again gets beaten badly.
Kessler is even more a paper champion than Clev! He's the ****in' interim champ at 172lbs or whatnot atsch :rofl
hes been past his best since the calzaghe fight. the last time i saw a prime kessler was back in 07 the one froch got in 2010 was past his best days(any kessler fan will tell you his timing and footwork were off in that fight). and froch still couldn't beat him, that speaks for itself.
It was a performance of heart, determination and pure grit with very little of the sweet science that made Kessler a once formidable force.
He's been a genuine world titlist, and fought Calzaghe for who was the best in the division, and it was a pick em fight. You ever see Clev being considered the best in his division?? No, didnt think so, now **** off!
