Mikkell Kessler is DONE as a ELITE FIGHTER in Boxing

[BattlingNelson]

Mikkel Kessler fought Anthony Mundine in Australia. Mundine is not what I consider elite...he got sparked out against Sven Ottke, lost to Manny Siaca,and Mikkel Kessler,then hasn't fought a world class fighter since.
He got put on his butt by a catfish named Crazy Kim! lol

Then who was elite in 2005-2007 then? Nobody seems to be able to answer.

[Portman]

Kessler can still beat the best at 168.

AA, Green and Froch

Dirrell, and Ward will always give him problems.

There just bad style match-ups.

He can beat or compete with the elite.

Kessleer is still an elite fighter.

The Hate Giver will never be an elite poster.

True story.

Co-sign this, it's the truth

[RagingTheBull]

Well, he's on his way down. The guy has on his shoulders 45 pro fighths, he's much more older than he shows. Froch is "younger" in boxing terms, even if he's 32.

BUT

He's still a top middleweight. He has faced a fighter who was tailor-made fot his style (Ward) and beat a fighter who makes everyone look as an idiot because of his style (froch). And I think that Kessler deserved the decision, even if the 117-111 was a total disgrace.
I'd pick him to reach the semifinal without any doubt and maybe he can get the final. And I think he could beat Green, Abraham, Froch (as he did last night). I wouldn't be so sure against Ward and Dirrell, mh.

Kessler tbw has a very good power, awesome chin, good tecnique. He has to improve his defense, but btw he's still a beast and deserve a TOP5 SMW position in SMW all time rankings. People tend to forget that he is a beast and he is, without any doubt, Calzaghe's best win.

[Bennett]

kessle is a A- fighter. frock is a B- level fighter.

therefore---------

A->B-=MK+1/CF-2

[mathed]

Kessler is not the best fighter but he is not a bum. He worked Froch's body over all night, Froch looked like a drunken sailor in there

[dans]

I don't want to get into hating on fighters, but IMO Froch's stock went up in the loss.

I think Kessler helped himself last night, but I wasn't overly impressed. He still showed me nothing to believe he could beat Andre Ward in a rematch.

[Pirao]

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.

Kessler did not beat Froch?

GTFO with that ****.

[kING T]

He never was an elite fighter

[BattlingNelson]

He never was an elite fighter

He was a top 10 p4p fighter.

So if that's not elite then there's only a select few who are.

But don't worry noob. You'll be a hit on NSB along with the other ******s.

[SirTomJones]

Any boxer who is in a top 10 of a boxing weight class is a fairly elite boxer in my opinion.

You lot try breaking the top 100. That takes some skill and determination.
