Kessler: Pavlik has never fought a Division A guy!

[Guest]

Well Kessler has smashed trough several sparring-partners and his trainers trainers say he's in the shape of his life (surprise, surprise).

Regardless, I expect a dominating performance by Kessler ending in a brutal knock-out of Sartison.

They'd throw you out of Denmark if you said any different. Maybe exile you to Norway or Sweden if you did

Kessler had not beaten anyone ranked but a man who had some of his intestines removed.

I meant to say Miranda when he beat Allan Green, my bad. lol

haha......

Look at me posting from Norway if Kessler is set up to fight Jermain Taylor. That's a fight I believe Kessler would lose

Kessler has beaten several world champions. In that department he outscores Pavlik 5 to 1.

In the 2nd Pavlik/Taylor fight, a slightly better Jermain Taylor, one who doesn't gas out, puts his punches together better, and defends a little better, wins the fight. It was already pretty close considering Taylor was exhausted by the 9th round.

Kessler and Taylor are similar in that they are both good boxers with pop in their punches who would rather fight in spurts than apply constant pressure.

Taylor has faster hands, but Kessler puts his punches together better.

If the fight is at 168, Kessler's punches are going to be the hardest Pavlik has ever felt.

IMO, if Kessler can box Pavlik as well as Taylor did, and keep fighting into the last few rounds, he solves the riddle that Taylor fell short on and ends up beating Kelly. Pavlik is not unstoppable and will eventually get beat, but it will take a tough, athletic, technically sound boxer to do it.

Ultimately though I don't think Kessler would respond well to Pavlik's pressure (he got too frustrated against Calzaghe, who throws slightly more but doesn't hit near as hard) and Pavlik wins by late stoppage or UD.

oh god, who the **** is saying pavlik is an american hype job? dude's resume is light years ahead of kessler's. Keessler is the only hype job in this conversation. What makes him elite? really? no tell. i know he is skilled, so was David Reid.

look miranda and taylor twice > mundine(another hype job) and andrade(i like him, but he aint no miranda and taylor)

Maybe if andrade keeps improving that win will look better on kessler's resume,but kessler's resume aint **** when comparing it pavlik's.

i'll take a bob arum fighter over a mogens palle fighter 99 times out of 100.


let me set this straight. everybody overrates their national fighters and local fighters. it's just europeans and austrailians are the worst about. lol the greatest austrailian fighter is russian. see what I mean? go ahead and give me red K, yall sensitive mother****ers.
