who has kessler actually beaten???

Alot of people are tipping him for the tournament, but why??? His biggest claims to fame is andrade who is average at best and losing slighlt respectable to calzache.... What warrents him to beat the liks of froch, taylor who both have mixed with higher class of opponents. Especially taylor whos mingled with winy, lacey, froch, bernard hopkins, pavlik... So my question is who has kessler mingled with bar losing to joe calzache...?? he loses to ward.

That is my biggest concern for him. He is going from no fights to fighting some top level guys right off. That ring rust could cost him. He has to fight Gusmyl Perdomo (WBA mandatory) prior to the tourney. But I agree, allot can happen in two years.

kess rocketed through the top10 SMW's until he met calz, the thing is not many of those were US based fighters ao alot of US fans have yet to see him in action. beyer, mundine, andrade were all top 10 SMW's when kess faced them and he won them all comfortably. granted those guys at the time were on no-ones p4p lists but it was the way kess beat them that merited recognition. another myth about kess is that he doesn't travel when in fact he has fought in germany, australia, wales and im pretty sure hes fought in the US at one point as well. imo if you were to make a top 10 p4p list based on fundamentals alone kess would have to be ranked somewhere between 3-8.

Well, he performed very impressively against Calzaghe and came out of the fight with a lot of respect in spite of the loss. That alone means that he is a GREAT fighter.

Uhhhh he dominated Andrade, one of the best fighters in the division. And he schooled Mundine, Markus Beyer, and Manny Siaca.

Kessler is the most skilled out of all of them, He will win the Super six tournament.

I don't buy the hype.

he hasnt beaten ne greats but alota good contenders ...hes gonna proove himself in this tournement

He's nobody man. He's just another stiff created by the Calzaghe hype machine. People who know how to watch boxing recognize that Kessler is an exceptional talent.

he has cool tattoos thats why......... in all seriousness i dont know but hes a favorite hes beat everyone who steped in the ring with him exsept calzage.and yes he will beat all the fighters in the tourny.:boxing:

Who has Ward beaten that joke of a man?

good points folks, fair enough he deserves to be favourite... Green K for actually having an open mind (i.e. not a nut-hugger/hater).

Yeah. And those wins were also dominating wins. Remember also that he fought Joe with a handinjury and and no sparring. He fought Mundine in AUSTRALIA with a bad back, He was still massively impressive against a tough and up for it mundine, You seriously cant fault Kessler.. any more seats on the kessler excuse train? froch fought taylor virtually blind with 40 broken ribs while he was seasick and still won.

I'd pick him to win the tourney cuz of skills, not res.

Kessler is a good guy, sad to see him waste two years. He might end up losing the tournament as a resuly. That is my biggest concern for him. He is going from no fights to fighting some top level guys right off. That ring rust could cost him.

good points folks, fair enough he deserves to be favourite...

Well to be fair he hasn't fought any noteworthy opponents since November 2007. Well documented Promoter trouble, I cant blame him too much for that,Thank God he was able to leave and continue with his career.

Well to be fair he hasn't fought any noteworthy opponents since November 2007. Kessler is a good guy, sad to see him waste two years. He might end up losing the tournament as a resuly.

Exactly and with the guys he would be facing in the super 6 tourney he would have consistently fought most of the top contenders in around his weight in the last 7 years or so.. Well to be fair he hasn't fought any noteworthy opponents since November 2007.

Yeah. And those wins were also dominating wins. Remember also that he fought Joe with a handinjury and and no sparring. He fought Mundine in AUSTRALIA with a bad back, He was still massively impressive against a tough and up for it mundine, You seriously cant fault Kessler..
