      Dirrell and Ward.

      He's never been in with the likes of them.

      Kessler will need a lot more headmovement than he's shown in the past to beat them.

        I think you are either massively overrating those two or underrating Kessler. Particularly Dirrell. Kessler dominates the absolute **** out of him.

          Resume wise, his record is piss poor. You know you're in bad shape when Librado Andrade is your best win, and you're most known for losing a fight, than winning it. (Calzaghe.)
          Considering this:
          He has travelled around the world defending his belt.

          Hardly lost a round before facing Calzaghe with an injured hand.

          Beating 4 world SMW champions and Librado Andrade, who was 5 seconds away from defeating Bute.

          ...... and then you say his record is piss poor? Let me say this: His record ****s on the other guys in this tournament and if his record is piss poor it must mean that the others compares unfavourably to hungarian journeymen.

          I normally think you make solid posts bringer so I give you a Mulligan on this one.

            no it doesn't. only ward and dirrels. you think a guy like manny siaca(holy crap how did he become champ) or markus beyer(sven ottke robber clone) are better wins than taylors wins over hopkins or frochs wins over taylor and pascal.

            saying he has 4 wins over champs is misleading cause his best win is over andrade who was never even champ. that shows you how bad those "champs" really were.

              Kessler's hardly a globe trotter. He went to Australia for Mundine but stays in one continent for the rest of his fights, namely Copenhagen.

                Is it any surprise?

                We've always disagreed on Kessler.

                No biggie.

                If he wins the tournament ; I'll be impressed.

                But I got 200K that says he doesn't.
