Comments Thread For: Kessler Becomes Second Boxer To Enter Danish Sports Hall of Fame

[joe strong]

Andre Ward is one of the most overrated fighters of all time. He was good yes but no where near as good as some might suggest and he was as dirty as they come.

So was Holyfield but nobody says much about him.

The african americans call that slickness and sweet science. But apparently when brook did it with porter or when klitchko, vasquez or any other non black fighter does it, its boring.

Well, he's no Tom Bogs for sure, but good on him for making it into the Hall.

Well deserved.

Brilliant career with highlights being a brutal ko over Marcus Beyer (Rip) to unify WBA and WBC, a masterclass shutout over Librado Andrade, a close fight with Joe Calzaghe in Wales despite fighting with a broken hand and no real training and of course that brilliant win over undefeated Carl Froch. Add to that great ko’s over champions Siaca, Mundine (UD in oz), Lucas, Green and Magee.

He achieved rock-star status in his native Denmark and was a fantastic cross-over role model for the sport we love.

Best Danish based fighter I've seen = Ayub Kalule

How exactly was Calzaghe dirty?

Calzaghe also traveled, something Ward never did.

I was referring to the overrated part. Specially when Joe fought american fighters when they were on the decline.

How was Hopkins on the decline?
He had his best wins of his career in this period.
Tarver, Pavlik, Winky.
