Canelo vs. a prime Mikkel Kessler @ SMW

Is Kessler too big here

 

Yes.

Kessler ain't Fielding.

 

Kessler, probably close

 

Will be interesting to see if Canelo makes a serious run at 168. They're saying Bivol plans to move to 168.

 

Probably Kessler. Canelo has plenty of chances to land counters but I don't think he could discourage Kessler enough to change the course of the fight. Canelo gets outworked and probably beaten up a bit down the stretch.

 

I can't see how Canelo beats Kessler. Kessler was a much bigger man, with a dependable enough chin to take anything Canelo dishes out. And from distance, Kessler would dominate behind his jab and combinations. If we're talking the 2006 version of Kessler, Canelo gets an ass whuppin TBH.

It took Calz and Ward to beat prime Kessler, and the spurt fighting Ginger isn't in the same league as Calz and Ward.

 

I think in my mind Kessler wins eight rounds, now whether or not he gets the decision I have no idea

 

No. Ward just didn't beat him, he gave him a complete ass whooping. It doesnt' take a Ward level talent to beat Kessler

 

Canelo's not in the same league as Calzaghe? Seriously?

 

Fuck no!!

 

Lol, Canelo is a better fighter than Calz. Maybe not at 168 though

 

Totally disagree. You're either overrating Calzaghe or underrating Canelo.

 

I would never overrate Calz as I was never a fan.

Canelo is the one who's grossly overrated.

 

So you're saying you tend to overrate fighters you like? Does this mean you underrate fighters you hate? Like Canelo?

 

"The canelo is overrated" stance is getting extremely stale after everyone pretty much picked him to get obliterated by GGG , yet he managed to ran him close both time (if not win one of the fights) .
