Who else wants to hop on? Ive had a chance to have seen a few of his fights(other than Andrade) and I honestly feel he has the talent to possibly be P4P soon. Its not a knee jerk reaction, this guy has it all. Speed, power, excellent technicain skills, tight defense, jurt is still out on his chin and heart, but those questions will be answered against Joe. If he passes on chin, and heart, I honestly think he's gonna pick apart the older Calzaghe. Even if he loses to Joe though, I'll remain on his bandwagon. One thing I'm POSITIVE of though, Kessler would fuck up Taylor! I need new guys to root for, Kessler, Dawson, Williams, and Cotto are my new batch of fav fighters since RJ, Toney, B-Hop are all old, Chico is obviously gone, and who knows what the deal is with Floyd. But anyway, who else wants to join the Kessler fan club?
I think anybody here will support any fighter who can knock off Joe Calzaghe. I think people are sick of Calzaghe and want him eliminated. I'll wait to hop on the Mikkel wagon after I watch a few of his fights.
Im a fan of his,..BUT..there's a real danger of him becoming boring,..he's a bit too much of a "boxer" for my liking :nono: ,..gotta love it when he's aggressive though, it's not often you see 9 punch combinations land, then again it requires an indestructable opponent with no defence in order to achieve that.

..... Been on it. :bears: Seen him whoop Andrade,Beyer,Lucas,Thobella, Siaca and Green. His only competitive fight was with Mundine who is a lot better than most people think.
Check the sig X, I started it just before the Mundine fight. The Kessler bandwagon has been going strong for years now. He will end Slappys fraudulant reign.
A 10 rounds to 2 fight, is competitive?..:dunno: .... I agree though that he struggled at times,.. but then again, how the fuck do you hit someone who keeps turning thier back?,..aka "shoulder roll"..
I've been a fan of his for a while. I'd read some really positive things about him before I first saw him in the ring - against Green - and from that fight on I think he's certainly lived up to the talk he was receving before then. It's a shame his fight with Beyer wasn't given anything more than highlights on HBO, because he's a fighter that deserved the hype and spotlight long before his fight with Andrade. Can't complain too much, though, seeing as how he's getting the Calzaghe fight later this year...I really didn't expect it to come this quickly. Just as a side note, I had the pleasure of meeting him in a couple years back when he was in the States.
