Dno why. Probs because one person said and people jump on the bandwagon. He did well against Forch, but Froch was better. Ino Brian Magee isn't the best of fighters, but the way he got stopped by Kessler was impressive.
Kessler isn't in the shape of 2007 anymore but still is top 5 at 168 he is at the top 5 of 168 for nearly 10 years now he is far from shot
People who thought Kessler would beat Ward are same spastics who though Cleverly stood any chance against Kovalev, or that Calzaghe would beat prime Hopkins and Jones, i.e people who simply don't understand what it is they are looking at when they watch boxing.
