Kessler-andrade (spoiler)

[!!! Beowulf !!!]

Kessler did what should have been expected of him against an opponent who offered as little as I thought he would. Seriously how did Andrade get to be a mandatory?

I guess this helps Kessler look for big fights as well.

Yes it is indeed a funny coincidence how the Ring and other independent rankings (with a notable exception in Boxrec) seems to rate Kessler's mediocre opposition way too high whereas they tend to severely UNDERRATE the real world-class opposition Calzaghe fights.

How can they so consistantly make those errors? They obviously need to be given each, a pair of good quality, adequately taintet, british spectacles, so they can start seeing things in the proper light.

Untill then there's just no hope of Joe Calzaghe being given his proper deserved credit.

Oh, Manfredo is ****. Bika is better than Andrade though, more crafty, less open, less one dimensional.

Yeah it's really unbelieveable how the Ring couldn't spot it a mile away.
Bika should obviously have been Ring no. 5 before the Calzaghe fight. Whereas Andrade should never ever have been top-10.
It's just amazing how something so obvious escapes those pundits (at the Ring) over and over.
Bloody amateurs thet lot of them.

Bika should have ben ranked above Andrade. Bika is a better opponent than Andrade.

Manfredo shouldn't be in the top 10 at all.

You regard Bika over Andrade???

I dont regard either of them. There are much more impressive fights for Calzaghe AND Kessler out there. I know why Calzaghe is taking Manfredo though (because he wants to build a profile and a platform to make the fights with Hopkins/Wright/Taylor more appetising). But I dont know why Kessler is taking on the likes of Andrade when Bute/Froch/Lacy are out there (exception of Lacy with his injury of course).

Mandatory, he couldn't keep the WBC belt if he didn't, HBO deal, and Andrade has proved more than Froch at the moment..

Andrade could give anyone a big test on their defenses.

Really hard choice there between Andrade (ranked 5 by the ring, WBC mandatory, will get HBO exposure) and Froch (ranked way too high at no 7, no mantory, no exposure - other than a few british nutcases, no nothing really)

But ohh yeah - Froch is BRITISH - so now HE determines who is worthy of perhaps, if and maybe, facing Calzaghe.

Lets not get yourself carried away here. I'm no big Froch fan, but the manner of his victories are a demonstration of his potential.
