Why does Kessler get such praise?

Most acknowledge Miranda bring element of danger, Green brings nothing resembling that.

Miranda beat Howard Eastman, and a better "GREEN" alan green, he also avoided getting KO'd by Sven Ottke (which should be impossibe),

 

People just conveniently overlook the fact that Miranda is 0-2 in his two biggest fights. All you really need to beat him is a solid chin. Everything else will take care of itself. His crudeness will surface when he is unable to stop the opponent who can take his punches.

 

Allan Green did absolutely nothing in that fight. He said he had some type of intestinal problem and by the way he fought I believe him. Oh and the one time Green actually opened up in that fight he floored Miranda.

 

any 'white' fighter gets completely overrated on ESB because of the sheer number of 'white' posters and their desperation for someone to look up to .... it is understandable I suppose ... but ESB is the wrong place for polls .. they are meaningless here

Hitler would rake up the votes on ESB ... Jesse Owens would get belittled for steroids or some other imaginary deed like being 'disrespectful' ... lol

 

sI'll offer my scouting report once again on Kessler.

Strengths:
-1-2 with opponent standing directly in front

Weaknesses:
-Slow
-Poor footwork
-Can't fight inside
-Can't counter
-Can't fight going backwards
-No head movement

Prognosis:
Previously exposed as being one dimensional by Calzaghe. Look for the same thing to happen next time he steps up to against an elite fighter.



Oh, and the praise he gets. Likely a combination of hometown fans and Calzaghe fans who want to make him look like the second coming of Christ so Calzaghe looks like God.

 

Solid post ... accurate summary ... end of thread.

 

:nut

 

Why was Eric Fields so highly praised?

Why is Nonito Donaire, Andre Berto and Antonio Margarito so highly praised? All lesser fighters than Kessler.

 

I stopped reading after this.

He's proven both in the ring....and whatever boxing politics happen outside the ring, and wherever blame has been, will be or ought to be distributed - has nothing to do with that.

 

Don't lump in Donaire and Margarito with Berto and Fields

 

Go back to posting on youtube - you seem to have the same calibre as the other 12 year olds who post there, and take thePresident with you - you are both equally clueless.

 

Kessler was definitely overrated by the online danish contingent for quite some time.

The problem in the Calzaghe fight was that for the first time in his career, Kessler was the underdog. And while he did many things right in that fight (such as use his uppercut, etc), ultimately he showed a lack of heart against Calzaghe.

He went into a shell for 3 rounds late in the fight, then came out and flurried for the twelfth round when it was far too late to win on points (ala Judah vs Mayweather).

Overall he is a very good fighter in what is now again a weak division.
