Mikkel Kessler: What makes him so good?

Hmm interesting coming from a Kessler fan...Talking about another fighters resume'. Yet I notice that so many of you Kessler guys dont talk about his. you just tell us this guy is sooo much better then everyone. Lets take alook at Kesslers resume.

He went 12 rounds with a fuking lightweight Thobela who I believe was stopped in 4 by Bute

He went 12 rounds with Mundine who was knocked out by Ottke who only had 5 fuking knockouts

UMMM hell thats about it, its pretty much no one eles on his resume, unless you want to talk about guys Like Lucas, who jones beat a few hours after playing in a pro basketball game.

Oh yeah there is that Clubfighter Siaca wait didnt he beat Mundine??

Dude come on Kessler's resume is horrible. I cant believe that you would even bring that up about Taylors resumeatsch

 

watch kesslers fight against andrade,they went toe to toe.
kessler can FIGHT,im a big fan of kessler but as for pavlik i must say that when it comes down to it, pavliks style is more aggresssive.AND i love watching him fight,because you know what he comes to do:FIGHT!!
kessler got better boxing skills imo,than pavlik.but when it comes to slugging,pavlik is the no.1,right now...and im from denmark!!:good

 

I can see both doubters and the dedicated fans points of view, however, I think there can be no doubts about Kessler showing improvements in each fight he's had. The first fight I spotted stagnation in his positive development was against Calzaghe, which could very well be down to a lack of hard preparations (lost some weeks of sparring) and some bad/missing advice from his coach during the middle rounds.
Point being that for Kessler the sky is the limit if he can continue his development and stay clear of injuries. I stick my neck out and predict his next two fights will define him as a fighter. A true champ is defined by how he copes with defeat!

 

So, based on all you said in this thread, can we agree that Kesslers next three fights should be Miranda, Taylor and Pavlik?

 

I cannot wait til Mundine rematches Kessler, it will be a glorious day. Mundine will finish him off :happy:happy

 

Did it ever occur that he maybe makes good money in Europe, last couple have been 1 million + fights.

And his team and management have everything to do with getting fights, he currently has **** poor management, sadly.

 

You know, I listed out a bunch of factual comparisons between Kessler and then Pavlik/Taylor and the only response I get is 'Taylor fought P4P guys etc. etc. etc.', not a single response to the actual physical comparison comparing speed, skill, timing, defence, sense of range, footwork and precision between the 3.

 

Sure, I'd want both of those fights to happen for him, easy wins and a big boost in recognition, but I'd also like to see him in with Bute and the lot at SMW, as they're a tad bit better than the MW lot, including Pavlik and Taylor, who bring nothing but western name value.

And last I checked, he stepped outside of Denmark into the backyard of the one of the best fighters in the world in Joe Calzaghe and lost, but also raised his profile in defeat. So that kind of throws the 'he needs to step out of Denmark' theory out of the water.

Oh I forgot to mention, he also went and fought Mundine in his backyard and won dominant, then KTFO Beyer in his backyard.

I think you mean 'he needs to come fight to America and blast out some overrated name fighters that have the captivation of the American audience', that I agree with you completely, then he can concentrate on establishing a legacy against B+ or better opponents.:good
