Mikkel Kessler? Overrated??

[Pugilistic™]

I personally think Kessler is a tad overated.

There is no doubt that he has skill but his level of competition isn't the best.

His best wins are Andrade, Mundine and Beyer and none of them are anything special.

Froch has the best resume in the tourney with Pascal, Taylor and Dirrell on his resume. I thought he lost to Dirrell though.

Kessler's best wins: Beyer, Mundine, and Andrade. People talk as if he's the clear cut #1 Super Middleweight. I know people take how he lost int equation, but whoever said he was underrated needs to get their head out of their ass.

Bute: Bika, Andrade, and Berrio.

Froch: Pascal, Taylor, and Dirrell.

Abraham: Gevor, Miranda, and Taylor.

We get to find that answer out with Ward. If Ward whoops Kessler for all 12 rounds, then will see if Kessler is overrated...

[MickyHatton]

He's underrated if anything, next...

Totally agree, he is the best SMW around IMO.

Great box puncher.

We get to find that answer out with Ward. If Ward whoops Kessler for all 12 rounds, then will see if Kessler is overrated...

Or rather if Kessler beats Ward the saying will be that Ward unproven and no good to begin with.

I can't help but get the feeling that if Kessler wasn't European we wouldn't be seeing so many people calling him "overrated"...he's 42 and 1 with wins over the likes of Andrade, Beyer and Mundine for crying out loud!

[Jan(DK)]

How come every time something negative is said about a european fighter that ppl automatically jump to the conclusion that it's an american vs europe thing or a black vs white thing? How come ppl cant just state opinion. Just becuz I made a Kessler thread don't mean I Hate on Europeans.

Idk really, Does Kessler have an Amatuer Background?

Because you and others make the same mistake every time.

"Kessler/Calzaghe/Froch/Abraham overrated - because the havent fought anybody". But they have. You just dont seem to rate overseas fighers at all and the best US-fighters are always automatically top #1-10.

The level of Kessler's opponents. I could see some very competitive fights

Bhop/Taylor/Ward vs. Mundine
Lacy/Wright vs. Beyer/Sartison
Miranda/Bika/Bute vs. Andrade

I hope for a Kessler win in this tournament, but he could lose to every one of them - so many different styles and skills.

The only way Kessler will get some respect, will be to lose the final vs. Ward/Dirrell. If Kessler wins - "Taylor was shut, and Dirrell, Ward, Froch and Abraham all overrated big time and would have lost to a prime Bhop and Jones fighting with one hand tightened behind the back".

[MANGLER]

No. Peopel see him for what he is; a talented fighter who's won some belts but ain't got any big names on his res. Most notable fight was a loss, so understandable that gets him the overrated tag. I do think he'll win the super 6.

Just so ppl kno the Poll was 22-53 b4 the fight...
