why does kessler get so much praise here?

[Stickman]

O I agree. I didn't get a chance to put anything into the fight. I was out of the loop on that one. (Actually I just didn't really care). I was shocked out the outcome though. I wont sit here and say i would have picked Joe on winning. BUT I didn't like Lacy before or after Joe beat him. I don't actually know who I would have picked. Being an American and not really caring for either i would have probably picked Lacy without putting any thought in it. IDK. But yeah I know people jumped a big ship on lacy. I was not one. i would have been there first to tell you that you picked the right man if we had a bet on it. Did you make any money?????

Some, but I didn't get rich on that one. I was starting another house and didn't have much cash to put down, and probably wouldn't have bet more than 2 or 3k even if I had, though even with that size a wager, you could get pretty good odds if you looked around a little, and the return would've been fabulous.

How? Which boxing experts(besides yourself) gives Kessler the edge over Pavlik?
Kessler has NEVER been hit by a Pavlik type shot....can he take it? we saw Pavlik get up off the canvas and fight harder...what is Kessler made of? I'm sure you know! I've yet to see him deal with adversity in the ring....Joe hit the kid went a body shot that almost made him cry...imagine what a Pavlik shot would do to him!! Pavlik is the better ROBOT of the two....

Kessler hits harder than Taylor, so it's fair to say that Pavlik has never dealt with a Kessler type shot...can he take it?

Kessler has never been down as a pro or am, Pavlik has been down 3-4 times.

We know both fighters hit hard. I think PAV hits harder but thats just me. IMO HEART will be a BIG BIG factor in the fight???? Now, who has the heart to win the fight???

I see your points, BUT I think it will come to heart. Which guy you see just giving up after a few HARD hits? Because we both know they both can hit hard.

I think you could toss a ****ing coin for that matchup. Nobody, and I mean nobody, I don't care how much of an expert they are (or think they are) can call that one before the fight actually starts. About the only thing that's guaranteed is that it would be a candidate for fight of the decade. The styles matchup is ****ing beautiful, and guarantees a memorable bout, one of those you'll daydream about for years to come.

Yeah, you are probably right. Whoever wins will probably have to take some very hard punches at some point.

Yep, it was a good one to make a smart guy some money. THe fight where I really cleaned up was Tito/Winky. Don't know if I'll ever bet (or make) that much money at once again, but I gotta tell you...I'm not really the excitable type, but I wore wood for about a day after that fight. Of course taking so muther****ing long to get my cash sort of made me wilt.

Now who told you that Kessler hits harder than JT? I wanna know....or is that just your OPINION?.....

Pavlik has shown that he has heart....when did Kessler ever have to be a MAN when it counted?
