Mikkel Kessler wants Hopkins?

I'd bet my house that Bernard mops the floor with him and finally ends the "Kessler debate" once and for all.

Of course if Hopkins schools the poor prick, he'll get no credit, people will say Joe got to him first, and if Hopkins somehow lost people will just say he couldn't even beat Joe's leftovers.

Stick with Dawson 'Nard, you'll get much more appreciation.

yeah alright mate, i think nard might actually beat kess but imo he will have to work harder than ever before, you make it out as though he would do it in his sleep.

kess hits harder than anyone else hopkins has faced, hes also surprisingly quick and has demonstrated beforehand that he had a wide range of punches that are often overlooked.

id oersonally give hopkins more cred if he beats kess than dawson.

Hopkins - Kessler I hope that is made

B-Hop would bewilder Kessler into deep water. Kessler too stationery.

Kessler would retire the old man. Sad part is that he wont get any credit for it. People would say that Hopkins was too old.

Kessler wins if they have a good ref, if they have a ref that allows Hopkins to clinch. Then I'm giving this fight to bhop. Kessler moves around alot more then pavlik, and is faster and can be constant at times too. He kept up with Calzaghe, which no fighter has been able to do. He clearly lost against Calzaghe, but he lost like a man.

Bhop is too old for skilled fighters, Pavlik skilled? If you think a guy who comes forward and only relies on his heavy hands is skilled, then so be it.

The better question is why the hell does Kessler even think he deserves a shot at Hopkins in the first place? He's done fuck all his entire career, the most recognizable fight on his entire record is his loss to Calzaghe. After that his best win is Andrade. And he's done nothing to establish himself as the amazing fighter his fans claim he is since losing to Joe last November.

Yet if Winky Wright wants Joe Calzaghe, or Kelly wanted a crack at Joe still, Joe's fans would say there was no point in Joe fighting Bernard's leftovers? Now they want to serve up Joe's leftovers to Hopkins?

if it happens ill bet whatever i have with you, i may even start using proper punctuation.

Well, I guess I kind agree with the-bringers post... Kessler hasn't really earned the shot even though I do think he could cause Hopkins problems if the ref doesn't let either of them hold.
