Kessler was not passed it ...

[Walterson]

... it was just that Wards 'formlessness, craft and ring generalship' made it difficult for Kessler to exploit his best attributes.

Kesslers jab was neutralized due to Wards speed / evasion, he would come back with a counter punch, duck low and was hard to hit because of constant head / footwork. (Same theory was for his right).

Kesslers footwork was made to look bad because Ward's was so much better.

Kessler was broken down in the inside to at a range. From body to top and from left to right.

His soul was taken, he looked confused.

He wasn't shot - just beaten by a better fighter.

Kessler made his name by being competitive in a fight with Jc, but not really getting anywhere near beating him.
Over rated if you ask me.

Kessler can't deal with slick, quick boxers, last night finally convinced me of that.

[Fat Bloke]

Kessler hadn't fought anybody in over a year.

Kessler is past it..
All you have to do is look at the way he boxes in his previous fights.
It's not the first time he faces someone like Andre Ward.

Andre Ward came out with a gameplan but lets be realistic, the Kessler of a few years ago would have tagged Ward at will, especially during the sloppy lapses that he (Ward) had throughout the fight.

Kessler needs someone infront of him to hit, he took him out of rhythm i knew this would happen

[Bushidō]

hes still in his prime

Kessler didn't come into the fight with Ward with a hand injury either. Calzaghe supporters should take that into consideration instead of saying Kessler was past it or Joe ruined him.
