I agree. Mikkel Kessler, the night he beat Carl Froch was not at his absolute best. But he had an excellent motivator in his corner and fought his heart out. Against Calzaghe he boxed well. But he never got the motivatiuon or advice from his corner. He did´nt adjust to Calzaghe s change of tactics after round 5: Calzaghe decided not to trade with Kessler and Kessler was left punching holes in the air. If Kessler´s corner had advised Kessler to be patient, move back and counterpunch Calzaghe in stead of trying to outpunch him - I do think Kessler could´ve won (but I´m Danish, you know).

Kessler versus Benn - what a thriller. I liked Benn. But I think Kessler would outbox him.
