So the Andre Ward CANT hurt Mikkel Kessler

Lets see, I think we can rank that along with, Floyd Mayweather cant hurt Ricky Hatton. Bernard Hopkins cant hurt Kelly Pavlik. And Andre Dirrell cant hurt Carl Froch. Hell, Joe Calzaghe cant hurt Jeff Lacy.


Isnt it funny that whenever pure boxers go up against so-called knock out artists, its always the opinion of this forum that the pure boxers cant hurt their opponents? Where does insanity come from? Does it ever register that a fighter doesnt have to have abnormal power to hurt their opponent, that timing, accuracy and accumulation of punches goes along way. :huh


Cant wait to see how much SOG doesnt hurt Kessler on the 21st.

 

Problem is, Kessler hasnt fought anyone but Calzaghe. So how do we know what kind of punches he can take. Basically a 2 year German bum fighting tour, who knows what this guy has, or given the fact that his competition was light before, if he ever had it

 

Ward is a much more versatile fighter then Kessler. Once Calzaghe took Kesslers jab away he turned into a one dimensional slugger. Ward has shown he can fight Orthodox, Southpaw, jab on the move, or stand in the pocket and trade. Me thinks Wards speed, accuracy, and movement, will once again bring back memories of a evening in Wales for Mikkel Kessler, and he once again will be swinging for the fences.

 

Miranda was in brutal wars with Pavlik and Abraham and took huge punches from both of them. This isnt some glass jawed joke here. We have no idea if Kessler has the chin of Miranda, he hasnt fought anyone with power the likes of Pavlik or Abraham. He got hurt by a body shot by Calslap. If he can get hurt by a guy who does punch with his fist facing forward, he can get hurt by Ward who is not a soft puncher by an stretch of the imagination.

It took Kelly Pavlik bomb after bomb to put down Miranda. Hell it took Abraham 2 fights before he was able to finally get Miranda. It says nothing about Kesslers ability to take a punch, or Wards ability to give one. Mayweather UD'd Castillo twice, Hatton finished him in 4. Ali KO'd Foreman, yet was in 3 wars with Frazier. Means nothing.

You are slow on the uptake I see. No wonder your predictions always suck dick.

Calzaghe's lack of power did not hurt him in his supermiddleweight reign did it? If you believe power is what runs boxing its not. Its skill, accuracy, timing and the ability to catch your opponent slipping. Ward's versatility allows him to do all of the above. And nothing has proven to show that Kessler is the iron man you think he is. Again be prepared to eat crow on the 21st, you'll be used to it by now.

 

Exactly. Its about timing and accuracy. If it wasnt about timing and accuracy, Kelly Pavlik wouldnt have got wobbled by a 50 year old benard hopkins who hadnt stopped anyone since Bush's 1st term.
