Mikkel Kessler? Overrated??

[#1Assassin]

Being defeated by an ATG like Joe doesn't make a boxer overrated.

no but getting **** loads of hype when your best win is anthony mundine does.

[Chunk..]

Kessler is highly skilled and real good boxer. The best SMW out there right now. I'd like to see him up against an elite fighter though. The last time he did that, he got beat(Calzaghe).

But what he does have going for him is that since Calzaghe retired, he's arguably the P4P#1 dish in Boxing. Some say it's David Haye, and there's a strong case but Kessler has the edge in the dish department for me.

Haha nahh I kno he aint on Ali's Level. lol more of a spur of the moment type thing to get my point across ya kno. It's not even the threads tho, it's more of the predictions. Alot of ppl are writing Ward off and give him no chance. Why tho? It's all opinion. I jus never saw nothing special with him to be able to say Kessler wins this Tourney easliy

Well, I'm picking Kessler to win, as you'd guess. It's really not bias. IMO he's the most complete fighter in the tournament.

That doesn't mean he can't lose. In fact I believe this thing is a three horse race between Kessler, Abraham, and Ward. I've said it all along, Ward is being underrated and will surprise people. He will be tough for anyone.

That's just my take.

Nahh not bias at all.

They're the 3 strongest i picked to win it all too. Sucks that Ward/Kessler is round 1, but it's one of the best match ups the tourney has to offer so it'll probly be one of the best fights atleast until the finals i guess

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic during the first part.

If you really wanna get down to it, I see the final being Kessler-Ward.

Lol nahh were talkin about opinions no sarcasm.

Gotta figure this is a points tournament tho. So they could face in the Semi Finals as well. More than likely the first fight will go to decision meaning Abraham will be a point ahead of everyone after round 1...

Abraham- 3
Froch- 2
Ward or Kessler - 2
Dirrell- 0
Taylor- 0

I dont think Abraham will win aganst Dirrell tho, Dirrell will be alot stronger coming off his first career loss and Abraham will have alot of Pressure on him being the undefeated leader and all fighting in Dirrells backyard

He's underrated in America.

[Dynamite Kid]

Yes he is waay to overrated.

He is strong, he cant hit, he can box, albeit very conventionally, he has good jab, he can counter punch, but the things about him that dont impress me are, his defence, his fluidity, his head movement, his ability to use angles, his punch variety.

I expect Ward to make him look pretty ordinary, but i also have a su****ion that Kessler's power might negate all that. If he does not KO Ward i can see Ward winning it though.

Not only is Kessler overrated, overhyped, and underskilled...but he is officially DOOMED.

This board will be a wreck when Ward owns him...

Really....what are all the old Calzaghe fans gonna do?....

a weak chinned, unexpericed slapper in Ward is gonna wreck Kessler? yah right. kessler has a very good chin and punches about 10 times harder than slappy-ward
