that was not the same kessler who fought calzaghe.

:rofl Because he's got more time to build his resume! You can sit here and try to pull that stunt my dude but we all know that Kessler was suppose to win this tournament...Dont act like you didnt see all of these people picking Kessler KO Ward and win the whole tournament...Its safe to say that he got overrated given on how everybody bought into the hype how Kessler was going to steamroll the 168 division....Dont act like you didnt read all of the stuff that was posted on how Kessler is the guy at 168...Now that he got his ass handed to him, you got guys coming up excuses left and right. Of courese he's going to get called overrated on how these guys was making Kessler out to be this world class boxer who would just walk through everybody in the 168 division!

Now I got a trick question for you since you want to question me...Since Kessler was the heavy favorite to win the tournament....Is it safe to say that he got overrated and didnt live up to the hype?

 

No it's not.

This is the Kessler that just got the hell beaten out of him by Andre Ward

 

Ward looks to be miles better than Calzaghe.

 

Calzaghe is a sloppy mess, talented but sloppy. IMO a good boxer would pick him apart.

 

I don't understand how Ward's win should make Calzaghe's resume look overhyped...shouldn't Ward's win just make Ward a great fighter and a promising prospect in the super middleweight division?

 

Plenty of good boxers thought they could.

 

No a good boxer probably wouldn't because Joe doesn't fight them unless they are on social security. The man (and especially Frank Warren) knew his limitations even if his fanboys on ESB still don't.

But, good observation. Most on ESB can't see the obvious as easily as you do.

 

Good post.
