    Actually imo Kessler is even more technically skilled then Barrera.

      Not really. It should be fairly obvious.

        Barrea is also very technically solid boxer, the difference between Barrera and Kessler is defense and a better jab, kesller does not get hit the way Barrera gets hit.

        Some of you guys need to learn alot about reading a boxer.

          MAB is better in every single way, including the jab when he chooses to use it. Kessler's defence has holes all over it. I think you're maybe getting a little confused - Barrera fights at a much higher level, of course he's going to get tagged a bit. When he chooses to box his defense is more than sound.

            I'm not saying Kessler resume is better then Barrera, but if you've seen alot of boxers in your life you will know that Kessler is more skilled.

            Barrera's great defense sure worked great against Jones or Pac, you probably think Calzaghe and Reid is more skilled then Kessler too.

              NO is the answer.
              Yep, prime Robin Reid was a pretty damn good boxer. He IMO is Calzaghe's best opponent to date.

                I think so, Kessler kinda reminds of the russian from that Rocky movie. He is a machine. Jab Jab Jab 1-2. If Calzaghe beats him i will be very impressed with him.

                  a washed up eubank was better, so was reid, and woodhall was prob on the same level as kessler if not a lil bit better skilled.

                      Can someone at least mention a fighter Calzaghe has fought this century who is better than Kessler?
