    Is Mikkel Kessler the next Zab Judah?

    It's not helping him to fight these guys he currently is, as teddy atlas has said it hurts a fighter to fight someone who isn't in their league. And lately Kesslers been fighting alot of tomato-cans. He needs to fight someone good in the super-middle weight division. Is he even ranked as the number 1 super middle weight anymore since even taylor has beaten better opponent at super middle weight. Lacy is better then any of the tomato cans Kessler has fought of lately.

    Kessler fans don't be mad at me, and any immature people who want to attack calzaghe go else wheres please. This is meant to be a serious topic.

    The problem is that he hasn't landed any big fights after Joe. And now he's in open conflict with his management which isn't going to help.

    Kessler is the best SMW out there, but to maintain that position you have to beat some guys and Kessler isn't even in the ring much. You could argue that the winner of Froch-Taylor should take the no.1 spot and I'd have a hard time to disagree.

      I heard Kessler was in Monaco with his homies and he got into a little rumble at a streetside dice game there.


      Yeah, Kessler is definitely the next Judah.
      He needs to turn southpaw and fight killers like Ernest Johnson.
      Wait a minute Kessler is already fighting killers like Ernest Johnson (the kickboxer)

      Nah. Kess lost once to the best. Judah has choked many more times on the big stage.

        Taylor should win, but he better not leave his left too low at times. I don't want to see froch pull an upset off by landing a hard counter-punch. Both leave their left extremely low at times, but I feel that Froch has a pretty good chin that can take some punishment from that but I don't think Taylor can exactly risk it.

        Same could happen to kessler if he keeps fighting below the opposition he should be facing.

          Maybe the best thing that could happen for Kess is a loss in his next defense vs. Perdomo. Maybe he could fight for another belt then since the WBA keeps feeding him with useless mandatories.

            Nah, Judah is core definition of underachiever in history of the sport.
