Kessler. Dariusz was good - I was a fan and wanted the ROy-Dariusz fight to happen. However, Kessler is just a bit better.
DM late stoppage, as we havent even seen Kessler at lightheavy nor have we seen him in with anyone like DM. Kessler would defo take some early rounds and I think he trys to take a break in the midrounds just when DM is coming on and its all DM from then on in.
Michalczewski by late KO or close UD. Kessler doesn't like when the opponent sets the pace, and Dariusz set a Calzaghe-esque pace. Kessler would be outjabbed, outmuscled and punished to the body.
Good point. Michaelchewski proved that he can beat HoF, Kessler lost to the only one he ever faced. Kessler would have never faced the kind of pressure DM would bring and he never had to deal with a jab that is better than his own. I like Kessler he´s one of my favourite fighters right now but DM was better than today´s Kessler. That may change in the future.
DM's power jab would break Kessler's spirit and he would fade as the fight went on just like with Calzaghe.
