Comparing Kessler to Veit is as bad as comparing Hatton to Gatti.
They are not similar. Kessler has a tight defense while Veit gets hit too much, Kessler handspeed and footspeed is much better and can Hit much harder.
Kessler is a textbook fighter who uses quick combinations specially that 1-2, and he is a counterpuncher as well. And last of all Veit has a glass chin while Kessler has a solid one, watch the Andrade fight.
Ok agreed but...
They are similar its just that Kessler applies himself so much better and is generally faster, stronger and overall better fighter.
They are of similar style though.
The same way Calzaghe is similar to Beyer. ;)
Veit is a tall fighter who jabs, but he's no pressure fighter, not as smart, not as fast, no way near as powerful, doesn't move to good... and so on.
In other words - no.
