Is Kessler a top 25 p4p fighter?

[Dan...]

here's the link Mr. threadstarter here's trying to raise Kessler to "elite" level to bolster Calzaghe #2 pound for pound status. Of course Kessler's within 25 pound for pound...HE IS #25!!!

Haha, I couldn't care less about Calzaghe and his resume you dumb ****, I'm not even a fan.

I was simply responding to your comment that Kessler was not a top 25 p4per right now. As you can see by the poll results there is barely a single individual on this forum that agrees with you.

Pacquiao, Marquez, Pavlik, Hopkins, Cotto, Vazquez, Marquez, Margarito, Taylor, Calzaghe, Wright, Hatton, Abraham, Tarver, Roy, Mosley, Oscar, Mijares, Williams

hmm there's 19 off the top of my head definitely better than Kessler. I think he just barely makes top 25 around guys like Diaz, Dawson, Casamayor, Campbell, Clottey, etc

I went back and added some stuff. I think I would have Kessler right at #25 as it is now

Jeff Lacy and Mikkel Kessler both have 1 loss and it came against Calzaghe. Even Lacy has beaten better fighters than Kessler has. It makes no sense to talk Kessler up as a great fighter when in truth he has done absolutely nothing outside of winning 3 rounds off Calzaghe.

We are talking p4p rankings as of now. You can't bring in **** that fighters have done over 5 years ago if they haven't accomplished anything recently.

Kessler has done nothing to warrant the inordinate amount of praise he gets. Every other name I mentioned in that list has a bigger win than Kessler does

There's plenty on your list that I have in lesser regard than Kessler. But to single out one let's take Abraham.

Who has Abraham beaten? Don't say Miranda as then I might litterally fall down on the floor laughing.

Kessler hasn't beaten anyone as good as Miranda, so why would you laugh about that?

I am not signing off for the night until someone explains to me what Kessler has ever achieved in boxing

He took Calzaghe the full route! He has 40 wins and a single loss to an elite! He is number 25 pound for pound no doubt.
