What if Bernard Hopkins vs. Mikkel Kessler?

I think something like that could happen,Kess would keep coming and not let Hopkins have rests.A few years earlier and Id pick Hopkins by decision but now I think Kess would be too busy for him.

 

Wow, you guys are ****in idiots. Ward EASILY beat a PRIME Kessler and this is a green fighter.

BHOP is twice the fighter Ward was at that time and has MUCH more experience.

He would beat the **** outta one dimensional Kessler. It wouldn't even be close.

 

First of all that wasnt a prime Kessler 2005-2008 Kessler was prime.. A few years ago Hopkins would have beaten Kessler by decision, but today Kessler would outwork him (especially with Montaya as his trainer), yes Ward outclassed Kessler, but he is also almost 20 years younger than hopkins and posses much better speed and movement.. Hopkins was knocked down twice against Pascal, and Kessler is, even through he is past his prime, a more powerful hitter than Pascal.

 

You're out of your mind.

Kessler is too one dimensional and hittable. He wouldn't be able to control range, and would be forced to make an inside fight like he did against Froch.

He looked sloppy and amateurish against Froch in a fight he supposedly "won," and Froch has no inside game. B HOP has a great inside game and would completely dismantle Kessler.

The latest version of Hopkins recently dismantled one of the best athletes in the sport who has made considerable improvements throughout his career.

A very underrated performance against a guy who has a better win than anything on Kessler's record.

In fact Kessler's best win, against Froch, was undeserved.

And the comparison of Kessler and Pascal is COMPLETELY unwarrented and way off. Pascal is an explosive fighter that attacks from mulitple angles.

Kessler is a 1-2 Euro guard fighter. There is nothing unpredictable or explosive about his style. You know exactly what you're going to get against Kessler.
