Mikkel Kessler would knock Roy jones out ..

[supermandathoe]

I didn't say Kessler was great, I'm saying hes a better fighter than Jones and Hopkins NOW .. not in their prime but NOW.

Doesn't that remain to be seen?

Kessler was definetely not up to his best vs. Calzaghe. He broke his hand in training and didn't spar for 3 weeks up to the fight. He fought Joe with a broken hand!

But the point with the left hook you made is very true. He should work on improving the hook.

Well, I've seen a bit more of Kessler than that - and let's not dismiss his outing on the Calzaghe night. He was excellent. I don't see where there were any specific problems. His timing was extraordinary and his right hand was coming across like a heat seaking missle.

Basically, he just had no other tricks to pull out.

Someone please find me a class a or b fighter Kessler has beaten!!

You won't find any. Typical 168 pound hideaway for fighters driven out of 160 lb and too afraid to fight at 175. The only reason it garnered attention the last few years, is because you had two decent guys beating up and clearing out the trash in there.

168 will always be the wasteland or a stepping stone division. Kessler has been tested against one other good fighter, has failed, and is looking to pick up on scraps in there once again. How can anyone have confidence in this guy?
