Is Kessler similar to Mario Veit?

This is what Frank the Wank is claiming.

Kessler is similar but much better than Veit

[Peder]

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.

As he says.

Calzaghe knocked this guy out earlier on in his career in the first round and Mario Veit was unbeaten at the time

This is what Frank the Wank is claiming.

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.

I do seethe similarities, i.e. the european robotic style and height, but I am sure Kessler will defiatley offer alot more.

[SHB]

Kessler is a much better version of Veit. Very similar styles though.

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 very top great fighters are all slightly unorthodox. they do things that little bit differently.
Kessler will be too easy to figure out.
