    I want to know why WesT voted for Kessler - he is the only person to have legitimately voted for him so far (Betty's vote doesn't count) :yep

    Ah thinking about it, it may have been spawned from there.

    In my boozed up state, I think, I may have been thinking, Mayweathers win over Hatton, or Calzaghe's over Kessler, which is better...

    You know, Big Worm is actually a pretty decent poster as long as he stays in the pocket and bites down. If he can stay on a 5 minute delay to gather his thoughts he actually brings a nice balance to the forum. But the second you put him on up-to-the-second live tv, he starts fidgeting around like Kanye West with Mike Meyers after Hurricane Katrina lol! No telling what comes next: Red Herrings, insults, entire thread in broken English (wtf), Degale is a mirror image of Calzaghe and little man uppercuts (wtf x 2)!

    Totally agree and I would say that even I wasnt a Hatton fan, Kessler never won in America where it matters, not won a title at two weights and not really had a big win.

    Hatton beat the best at his weight in Tszyu, won a title at two weights, held the Ring Magazine light-welterweight title, won 4 worlds titles never lost one in the ring.

    This isnt even up for debate really.

    Yeah, Hatton's win over Kostya basically rolls Kessler's resume right off the bat, not to mention some of the LWW defences he made once champ and the tight win against Colazzo at WW.

    And I hate Hatton..............just not as much as Betty..........but hell, who does?

    Neither of these 2 guys would particularly rank high 'all time' in my opinion but at least Hatton was derailed by the 2 best fighters of this generation ... What the hell has Kessler done ?? Got beat easily by Calzaghe and Ward .. Its always been strange to me that on this website Kessler gets far more love and appreciation than guys like Leonard or Jones Jr .. It must be his groovy tattoos because it certainly isnt his boxing skill/ability ..

    Of course it's Hatton... By a long way...

    But I'm not suprised to see Betty vote for Kessler!
