Seriously, No trolling: Name one really good fighter that Kessler has beat.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Take a pick:

Andrade W12 (mandatory)
Beyer KO3 (WBC champ)
Lucas KO10 (former WBC champ)
Mundine W12 (current WBA champ, fought in Oz)
Siaca KO8 (WBA champ; Kessler was a late sub)

Beat me to it. All good names. He beat pretty much who he had to beat then lost to the best guy in the division.

Mundine W12 (current WBA champ, fought in Oz)

Kessler is the WBA Champ. Yet more astounding knowledge from you.

Okay, have at it. Name the fighter, then please list why you feel he is better than good or average. I'm just wondering cause this debate keeps coming up every week and it's getting old. Let's find the answer.

Kessler has never beaten a truly "great" boxer. However, questioning his quality is a little bit silly. He is what he is, a young prime champ who has proven himself to be top dog at SMW until either Calzaghe returns or someone else beats him.

This whole "great boxer" thing is really a very distorted way of looking at boxing, it pretends there is a cut off point at which a special class of boxer who has some sort of magical ability to be "great" sits looking down at all others and that all wins below this point do not count. If this was so, no boxer woukld ever be regarded as good.

In his career Roy Jones faced 1 'great' boxer, James Toney and won. One. You can make it two if you include the Hopkins he faced as 'great', I don't.

Bernard Hopkins, widely regarded as the best MW of recent years never beat a 'great' MW and lost to the only one he faced, Jones, as well as not-so-great Jermain Taylor.

James Toney beat possibly great Michael Nunn, he lost to his other great opponent, Jones again.

No YOU take a pick. You TELL ME. Who do you think the best fighter out of that group is and why?

[Silencers]

Mundine is probably his best win, he's pretty good but he's wasted a lot of his potential by fighting meaningless fights

Your defenses are on super high today. Calm down. I know you're a Kessler (Calzaghe) fanboy. I wasn't degrading poor Kessler. I'm asking a question. I want to know what the forum consensus is on what really good fighter Kessler has beaten. Not that hard of a ****ing question.

Excuse Flawless for this. He copied my post which was a copy from a thread I made months ago. (http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=187736)

I edited it in my post above.
