Mikkel is obviously the more polished and skilled fighter. But Pavlik commits to his gamelpan and has a hell of a chin. Someone make this fight PLEASE! The Kessler camp has been ****ing up Mikkel's career for too long.

Career.......?

Right now my impression of Kessler is basically on hold, right on par with his career.

And Thompson saying Kessler is better than the Pavlik who fought him 4 years ago when Kelly was really green (yes an 8 round fighter), well you get the idea. Talk about comparing apples to oranges.

I think it would be a hell of a fight. I'd rather see Pavlik vs Abraham, though.

[Fulcrum29]

There is no doubt Mikkel is the better fighter.

Then why don't he fight Pavlik and prove it? Or is he still nursing his injuries from the ass raping that 78 year old Calzaghe gave him?

And probably well-paid as well

But still wice

So says Mikkel Kessler's sparringpartner Russ Thompson: "Mikkel is a great fighter. He knows a lot of combinations and he's fast. He works a lot. He reminds me of Kelly Pavlik only faster", says Thompson who went the distance with "The Ghost" in 2004.

If a fight between Kessler and Pavlik is made, Thompson thinks the result is a given: "I think it's going to be an easy fight for Mikkel. Kessler's speed will be decisive."

Mikkel Kessler himself want's a big fight after Haussler. "Kelly Pavlik's style suits me good", he says, "that would be a great fight for me".

Thompson is impressed with Kessler's speed: "Mikkel's strenght is the straight shots. I am a solid defensive fighter, but Kessler often catches me with straight punches."

Let me see Kessler/Miranda first, then I'll be able to tell you who is better.

I wouldn't mind seeing Kessler vs. Miranda.

I just hope Kessler fights more often next year, at least three or four times. Now is the time to build a legacy, not when he's past-prime.
