    They've done worse. Andrade is an exciting fighter to watch. His limited skills ensure he's in close fights even when he wins. He'll either get smacked around and still win, get smacked around and lose- or worse, get smacked around and, if someone strong enough comes by- get knocked out. Either way, with his fists swinging, head flying back, and his ability to stop people o equally limited skill, HBO might have found a Gatti-esque fighter tonight. They thought it was Katsidis...maybe it was Andrade!
    I was about to say he's Gatti without the many cuts and KDs.

      He's not a bum. Bum's don't win fights like that one tonight.

          Katsidis is the new Gatti.

            Course it makes Kessler look better. When you look back on a fighter, you look back at their legacy. The legacy consists much more of WHO you beat, rather than who they were when you beat them. If Andrade goes onto big things, it'll reflect well on Kessler.

            When people talk about Hopkins' legacy, they talk about his victories over Trinidad and De La Hoya, its a much forgotten after-thought that they were out of their weight classes, its just the name that matters.

            Andrade coming good, making Kessler's win over him more impressive helps put Calzaghe's dominant performance over Kessler into perspective too.

              Yes - Calzaghe's dominating win over Kessler clearly indicates Joe is one of the best.

              The very dangerous Edison Miranda will be another good name on Kessler's resume.

                  Until Miranda is reclassified as a "bum" for losing to Kessler. It's so easy for people here to use convenient labels like that to perpetuate their biased agendas.

                    I guess you don't realize that Kessler is younger than Andrade.
