    It's purposely saying something that you know will draw serious feedback just for the sake of doing so. Your trolling for attention................like you would troll when you're fishing by just running slowly with a line in the water.

    When has Kessler shown a weak chin? Mikkel is a far better boxer than Miranda & he has equal power IMO.

    I dont believe Kessler is any type of great fighter or near perfect as some ppl claim :lol: He certainly does do some things really well and is effective when doing them.

    I feel the same way about Kessler, he's pretty good, but far from great. When he fought Calzaghe he had plenty of opertunties to catch a wide open Calzaghe, but he froze and was unable to pull the trigger.

    I agree, he thinks more than he should. He is not an instinctive killer.

    Too be honest, I think Kessler froze a little bit being on the big stage for the first time, and less than 1/10 of the crowd is cheering for you. I'm not saying Hopkins would of beat Calzaghe that night, but Hopkins would of got in his counter right hand alot, I'm sure Hopkins would of took a couple slaps to get in one of his right hands. I have a strong feeling that Hopkins is going to put up a better and a closer fight than some people think.

    Kessler went to Calz. home town. Hopkins wouldnt do that. Hopkins lost to Taylor twice, would Kessler?

    Many GREAT fighters were not instinctive killers,,,,but still are atgs. I am I calling Kess an atg? No. But is he an excellent boxer that could clean out the division (minus JC)? YES

    I agree on your first point, Kessler did go to Calzaghes hometown, which I think hurt Kessler a little bit. Hopkins doesnt have to go anywhere, he has established himself as a legend/ATG already, by fighting the best of the best and winning the majority of the time, Calzaghe needs Hopkins, Hopkins doesnt need Calzaghe to cement his legacy.
