Why is there so much hate for Kessler?

Was (is) Mundine good and probably better than Miranda?

Yes, I think he is.

BUT there are two reasons why noone wants the fight:

1. We don't need it because we already have seen it. Miranda presents a different style and he excite more people. And many (at least at the time) think he is better than Mundine.
2. What Palle (and apparently others) seem to not understand is that perceptions rule.

 

Are you talking about worldwide demand or US demand? I'm not sure whether you're US based but if you are I tend to find a lot of them over there don't know the difference! Miranda may be pushed by a few in the US because he fights over there and has an aggressive style which helps knock over a few nobodies, but in the grand scheme of things he is nothing. Nobody in Europe, down under, Asia or any other part of the world knows or cares about this guy. He is basically a bigger Gatti but without the boxing skills.

Fighting top 5 ranked (by independent publications) super middle for a belt >>>>>> fighting unranked fighter for no belt. I can see that, why can't you?

And stating "I am sure that any poll taken at the time would have shown that more fans wanted to see Kessler-Miranda" is a complete hypothesis which can never be proved one way or there other.

 

Are you calling me bias like him?

 

Nah,just talking to fill some spaces:nut

 

:roll:

 

To some extent I agree. Kessler v Mundine as a fight, I have no interest at all. It was a means to an end, and sometimes fighters have to take a fight for what it gives them for the future, rather than the merits of the fight itself.

 

This is a pretty fair summary all round.

 

How has this thread gone on so long? Has anyone yet cited any examples of 'hate' for Kessler on this forum ever? As I said earlier, I've never seen any at all.

 

very true . what is everyone on about ?

 

Look how hated Kessler is! He's even more popular than Joe Calzaghe - whose unofficial fansite ESB is!

-thread let me try to take it elsewhere with a question. Who is the dark-haired lady to the right of Kessler at the weigh-in for the Calzaghe fight? She looks kind of nice to to me:rasta Hope it is not Frank Warrens wife.

 

You're one to talk....you're on the Kessler/Calzaghe crotch 24/7... :roll:

 

I didn't know their was but if so, perhaps it's because he laid an egg with Calzaghe, turned down Edison Miranda and is now fighting a guy that drew with Muhammad Said. He's got to fight somebody.:smoke :smoke

 

Ever since Joe whooped his arse hes been dodging the best fights for easy money and wins.
