    What do we think about Mikkel Kessler?

    Is he one of the 20 best fighters in the world right now? 30 best? It's been hard to get a read on him in light of his frustrating post-Calzaghe inactivity, but what do we make of the Dane? I think he makes some serious problems for everybody in the 160-175 lbs. range, and outright beats most of the top guys.

    Thoughts?

      Hes just generally hard as nails, strong as ****, has a huge heart and owns the SMW division, he is slightly one dimensional but he takes that one dimension and makes it his own, Brilliant fighter.

        Top 20 easily.

        He's a fantastic fighter, and he carries himself with grace in and outside of the ring.

          Top 20 for sure, but also overdue to get back to work. I think some of his advisors might be idiots.

              Mikkel Kessler is easily a Top 15 p4p fighter...He would beat anyone from 160 to 175 not named Joe Calzaghe.

                    He is a very very good fighter who looked less than that against one of the best in recent memory.

                    I think he is better than both Kelly Pavlik and Chad Dawson if that tells you something.

                    I think Wlad Owns is right that he is the best fighter in 160-175 who isn't Joey C.
