Hopkins Vs Kessler

[Check]

Hop looked great at 170(actually 169). Why not try to go after the guys at 168 and dominate it.

[El Chicano]

he'll do the same to Kessler that he did to Kelly. Kessler is a one two puncher, he's got nothing else.

[crold1]

Kessler would at least win a round.

I like this fight.

Kessler is too low key for Hopkins to even consider though.

I personaly think the rough stuff would throw Kessler of track. I think Hopkins would old man him. Calzaghe beat Kessler on pure ring smarts, Hopkins would do the same. He wouldn't beat him up like he did Pavlik though.

Kessler got better footwork, defense and speed.
After THAT performance I favour Hopkins highly but Kessler would win 2-3 rounds

[Scary]

He wouldn't be able to hit Kessler so much as he did with Pavlik.

i dont think hed hurt kessler and i do think that kessler would hurt b-hop. kessler has real power at the higher weight, b-hop has done well at the hiher weight but look at his fights at the higher weights - tarver(slightly drained out, but still relatively strong and powerful), winky (light middleweight power), calzaghe (powder puff puncher), kelly (strong but at this weight something was missing).

kessler would be the first fighter who bernard faces who has real power at this weight.

if you think he cant go beyond the 1-2 then you're mistaken in the fight with calzahe he showed a willingness to trade and showed a vast arsenal of punches raging from uppercuts, straight shots, loopy shots and wide hooks and straight rights.

kessler however isn't smart enough he was confused by calzaghes stance and style, b-hop would find too easy to slow him down and counter him. however that said kessler could shake b-hop and hit him clean imohe would be one of the quickest fighters hopkins has faced at SMW/LHW.

Bernard by SD, it would be tough but he just has too much in his locker.

Kessler has faster hands, is not gonna be effected by weight like Pavlik and he is much quicker on his feet.. But I see Hopkins doing the same to my boy, with Kessler winning 3-4 rounds.

[Pugilistic™]

Would be much like the fight with Pavlik but a little more competitive and with Kessler winning a few rounds.

Hopkins is just too smart.

[Weebler I]

Kessler beats Hopkins, he's more elusive than Pavlik who basically stood there to be hit.
