Im somewhat surprised by the closeness of the poll. Not alot of people who picked Kess are posting their reasoning...:think
Kessler would most likely have the higher punch output and he could connect alot with his jab and dont forget how good he actually is on the inside. Kessler moves quite well considering his style and I think his good defence could win him this in a close ud. But Toney could ud Kessler as well with his counterpunching. I just dont see it. 60/40 Kessler.
They can't because if they did they would get picked apart. Toney is a stylistic nightmare for a straight up and down guy like Kessler.
Because Toney is a fat overrated drugs cheat who failed to dominate any division in which he has fought. Titles at different weights against hand picked opponents does not fool me. His rise through the weight classes was more due to a combination of ducking the best in each division and a spiralling obesity problem than anything else.
Oh i get it, so all Toney has to do is somehow lose 50 pounds over night? He'd be KOd by the weightloss program.
But Kessler has?atsch Toney beats the **** outta that robot and talks **** while doing it. Only a fool or nuthugger would think Kessler would beat an ATG like Toney at 168.:-( Kessler is being overrated like hell here and has never beaten a elite fighter.
Kessler never struggle with fighter like Estrada or Feliciano..., Andrade is p4p 100000x better than these two and still won 0 round against Kessler. Kessler is a beast, he would beat Toney to the punch all night.
Kessler won't even fight Dawson. Against a mentally weak guy like Kessler Toney would have a field day.
no there not son, its just the joys of different opinions, thus the reason threads are started and forums are made!
