Does Kessler Belong with PBF and Pac?

[Dozer]

The top ten list was well written, But Kessler ranked third Is absolutly ridiculous. Just because he outboxed A mexican cab driver last weekend does not make him third in the god damn PFP list. What A kick in the nut's to ALL the men below him in that list. As A matter of fact I dont believe Calzaghe should be in the top ten either. And as far as Mayweather goes, I think He's movin up in weight to avoid guys like Pacman And Marquez, Dont get me wrong, He is the PFP king right now JMO. COME ON MAN KESSLER THIRD LOL

It's not just for Andrade at all. His last three years have been phenomenal and he's a true talent at his peak. After 39 fights, we have a lot to judge by. Roy Jones and Floyd were mid to high on P4P lists earlier in their careers for less.

I was impressed with Kessler's performance, But Andrade just looked sloppy. Plus after the beating Andrade took, he still looked as preatty as he did before the fight. If Lacy did not get hurt during the Typsko fight, I would love to see Kessler fight Lacy,and dominate Lacy like Calaghe did. It would never happen, But I think Kessler would win that fight Via Descision. At least Lacy looked like he was in A war after his A$$ whoopin from Calzaghe. So this tells me that Calzaghe would stop Kessler from cut's or TKO.

No, world champs means they held a world title.
Hes beaten 12.

One of those was Zab Judah who lost his last fight but thanks to some bizarre turn of politics managed to keep hold of his IBF strap.

Re Kessler, he put in a great performance against Andrade but let's not get carried away! Andrade was there to be hit for 12 rounds. He would plod in with his hands down and throw single punches. It would be tough for an elite fighter not to look good against him. He didn't even attempt to spoil and roughhouse (as Lacy tried against Calzaghe and still was made to look foolish).

Kessler wouldn't have anything like as much of an easy time against Calzaghe, or for that matter any fighter with a good defence.

Roy Jones and Floyd were mid to high on P4P lists earlier in their careers for less.

Kessler does not have guys who are as skilled as men like James Toney, Bernard Hopkins, Jose Luis Castillo, or Diego Corrales on his resume. The names on Kessler's dossier are more like the Emmanuel Augustus (for Floyd) and Jorge Castro (for Roy) type.

i dont think that its totally insane to have kessler in the top 10 p4p... he could hover in the bottom of the list... third might be a little quick for right now, but if he beats calzaghe with ease, then he is definetly a top p4p

[TheEvilSaint]

not right now, no. hes beaten a few good fighters and unified the titles. thats good. but hes not p4p, yet. however, if he beats calzone, yes, then he'll be p4per.

[SquareCircle]

it's worth noting, that andrade lost 14 of his 16 amateur bouts.


as for kessler...

Let's see him reign on the world level for two years defending titles, then decide to even mention his name in the same sentence as pbf...

only an ignorant fool would regard him among that ilk so hastefully. I will laugh at you fools when kessler gets knocked out before his 8th defense. The title he is defending is a bull**** title anyway. In all actuality he's a bull**** champ. Miranda would beat him at 168 in vegas. Let's see him do some damage on the WBO circuit, THEN compare him. tool.
