It's actually relatively rare for a boxer to face an actual "PxPer" during his reign at the top - especially if said boxer stays in one weight class his whole career. People love to quote that, but it's very rare. Especially at super middleweight over the last 10-15 years. If he beats Kessler, that is quite a win; and Mikkel is arguably a PxPer. But even if he isn't, he's a fellow unified titleholder and top-2 in the division. Lacy was a good scalp as well. As was an older Eubank (especially considering Joe was 22-0 at the time). Peace.
