Two points:

1: (Fill in the blanks) Kessler beat Froch and he after that he is not an elite fighter. Dirrell lost to Froch and after that he is _________

2: (True or false). Kessler fought an elite fighter in Australia?

Its pretty much over. Even though he won, his stock visibly went down last night. He's been getting hurt & physically dominated every time he steps up to elite competition. I mean ffs, a slow ass carl froch was made to look like pernell whitaker last night. Did you see him bobbing & weaving & slip kessler's punches? Does not bode well for mikkell.

There's a reason why everytime he fights a elite fighter outside of denmark he loses.

He's not overtly physical, he's not offensively dynamic, his reflexes are average, & his power is above average. He is what he is. A very good fighter below Hall of Fame level.

Any elite fighter will beat him outside of denmark. Lucian Bute, Andre Ward, Andre Dirrel, Arthur Abraham, Carl Froch, hell i think Edison Miranda might beat him because of his power.

All that being said, i have lot of repsect for mikkell kessler for the simple fact that he just didnt stay in his home country & retire with a undefeated record but decided to test himself against the best the world has to offer unlike a sven ottke, henry maske, & a anthony mundine.

btw,

i love danish pastry & danish women especially connie nielsen.

Nothing pelsonal. Just hate.

kessler's good, but was never "elite" IMO.

1. Kessler did not beat froch. He was given a hometown gift decision. Kessler is 31 years old & he is on the way down. Not on the way up. Dirrell was robbed against Froch. He's 26 years old & clearly on the way up.

2. False. Mundine was never elite. Kessler for a brief boxing second was.

i think the only fighter kessler could beat in the super six is allan green. even that's a dangerous proposition due to green's power & physicality.

I respectfully disagree, I still think he has a couple of years left and I don't think he has lost anything physically, he has never quite got his confidence back after the calzaghe loss but he is doing well enough

i couldnt DISagree more... how can u possibly say that after he JUST spanked an undefeated champion?

**Mighty_Windir** · 04-25-2010, 03:12 PM

Kessler has no skills, great brawler but 0 skills and has 0 defense, like he didn't even knew what to do once Froch started swinging.

spanked a champion? How did he spank a champion? Did you see kessler's face?
How is a close fight where froch physically dominated him equates to spanking?

This is absurd, you could put Kessler , Froch or AA in with Pavlik and have great fights.
