Good fighter and good man, well deserved retirement. Good luck my man Kessler.

[Danskman]

Mikkel Kessler was one of my favorite fighters. Loved his style, his heart, his honesty. A true gentleman. He was/is a Danish treasure and will be missed in the sport of boxing.
I'm glad he retired on his own terms.

He had a good career, best of luck to him.

No I'm happy about the decision and I have hoped for it since Froch II. Since neither Froch nor Ward wanted to fight him again, the decision was a given.

[MELLY-MEL...]

Good luck on lifes new endeavor's, champ!

Hours before it was announced I sat with a mate explayning to him, why Kessler should retire based on the fact that the fights he wants aint gonna be the fights he gets.

Disappointed to her Kess hang 'em up. I was hoping he'd have one last fight and then call it day. Oh well, cong**** to Kessler on an exciting and successful career, hope he is happy in retirement

I guess now that Kessler's gone and Jermain Taylor has gone crazy, who is left to root for?

How bout Deontay Wilder?
