Spoiler Alert: WBA/WBC super middleweight champ Mikkel Kessler (39-0, 29 KOs) has retained his title via dominating unanimous decision over previously unbeaten WBC mandatory Librado Andrade (24-1, 18 KOs) in front of almost 25,000 spectators in Copenhagen's Parken Arena, the national soccer stadium of Denmark. Scores were 120-108 on all cards. Andrade moved forward and pressured Kessler the entire fight, but Kessler was a notch quicker.

Kessler does it again.I believe Kessler is a top 5 P4Per as it stands.He has it all,size,strength stamina,power,speed & great technique.
We'll all be hearing a lot more of him in times to come.Calzaghe needs to step up & fight him b4 he retires,that would be a goodn.

Kessler is the real deal, I still wanna see him rematch Mundine though

Hopefully Kessler is the next step for Calzaghe

I believe Kessler is a top 5 P4Per as it stands

wow i really like kessler and i believe he's a threat to calzie, but this statement is preposterous!

Preposterous he says.Where is Kessler on your list?
For my money its not only if you win but how.Kessler has demonstated he has all the well roundedness combined with jarring power to take him to the top of the heap,& remember it was Calzaghe who opted out of the unification fight with Kessler.
Mikkel was also very impressive in beating the surging Mundine & destroying
Danny Greens conqueror & as it turned the totally overmatched Beyer.
IMO he is the number 1 super middle in the world.Calzaghe has longevity but that’s in part due to fighting mediocre contenders with his best performance being against Lacey.
I’m of the opinion Kessler would beat Calzaghe.Why would Joe turned a big $$ unification super fight down to fight Manfredo??

it seems that calzaghe wants to fight taylor or bhop than kessler (who i also think can beat calzaghe). i actually like your list and i also like the fact that you left off ricky fatton. props on a well thought out post.

Anyone else going to give credit to Andrade taking the beating and not droping, or really getting rocked. I loved the combos that Kessler through, but i would like to see him throw a uppercut with those combonations, that i believed would have put andrade down. Also PACMAN IS P4P best boxer in the world. ask Velázquez, Morales, Larios, or Barrera. SCREW MAYWEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

Havn't seen it yet.
Looking for a DL link.
