Who is more overrated Williams or Kessler

[Dynamite Kid]

Look at the ring ratings. He's #1, he also beat both Andrade and Mundine in dominating fashion, who are 3rd and 4th on the list, respectively.

Is he the linear champ ?

Williams is rightfully winning this poll, he's overrated beyond belief.

Agreed, but mainly, because he has a bunch of halfwit kids following him like Burner. I mean Burner thinks SRR was a bum, because of the amount of losses he had in his career.

I think he forgets the man had 200 fights.

Who is more overrated Williams or Kessler ? Im not sure who to pick, because i believe the hype for Williams far outweighs what his skills are capable of achieving, but by the same token at least he has beaten top WW. Kessler is overrated, because he hasn't beaten a top fighter like Williams has, but people still think he is the best 168lbs based on a loss

Ridiculous amount of praise for both, if you ask me. Im not a fan of either TBH.

I voted Williams.

I rarely hear from Kessler on the news and stuff. About Williams its "Hes gonna win a bunch of titles in different divisions" and stuff. The guy has yet to have a succesfull title defense.

Kessler, most of his fans think him untouchable and he's not really looking to make the top fights that would propel him as an elite fighter. Williams has a marquee name on his record but unlike Kessler, it's not in the loss column.

**** i thought it said underrated! i pressed Kessler

[hookoutofhell]

both these guys are pretty under rated imo, i think when you look at their physical capabilities and skills thn they are both potentially within the top 10 p4p. if anything i would have kessler one step ahead for now, he has faced proven competition at the highest level and shown that he can be competitive.

you could say that williams win over margarito, who later assumed the no.1 postion at 147 shows that he is the best in his division, however in that fight marg was competitive and came on strong at the end. Kessler on the other hand faced a bigger version of marg in andrade and manhandled him over the 12 rounds.

PW has shown a willingness to take on all comers and fights with just about every big player from 147 to 160 have been mentioned at one point or another. however kess himself is no wuss and has shown a desire to travel to the other champs backyard to make the fight.

PW's best wins are over verno phillips, margarito, mitchell and kolle - a fairly good level of opposition. considering that he hs been chasing fights with other fighters like mayweather and cotto.

kess however has a slightly better resume with bigger wins and more wins coming against the top 10 SMW's - mundine, andrade, beyer and lucas were all ranked in the top 10.

when you break down their physical capabilties and skills they also come pretty close, kess imo is quicker, stronger, more powerful and the better boxer with better footwork. however williams has a better workrate, better chin and better stamina.

there really isn't alot that sperates the two fighters. imo they both belong in the top 10 p4p if you throw resume's out of the window. i just hope that they get the fights that they are alooking for, williams finally has chance to earn the mainstream recognition that he deserves and kess's division has the likes of bika and miranda along with the more established taylor and froch.

Kessler, most of his fans think him untouchable and he's not really looking to make the top fights that would propel him as an elite fighter. Williams has a marquee name on his record but unlike Kessler, it's not in the loss column.

kess has so far looked to take on calzaghe (again), hopkins, dawson, froch and taylor.

its just a shame that the 2 fighters that he really needs to fight are the ones who are caught up with each other. at least if they signed then kess could move onto fighting bika, miranda or someone else.

I don't think either man is overrated, but Williams has proven to be a beast against better competition thus far.

So if i had to pick one, it would be Kessler.
