why do some people question Kessler's resume?

[Zocalo]

Well because it is questionable... people question Calzaghes... why should Kessler be exempt?

Harding was coming off wins over Daniel Judah and David Telesco.

Ring Magazine rankings at the end of 2005:

Antonio Tarver, Champion

1. Glen Johnson
2. Zsolt Erdei
3. Roy Jones Jr.
4. Clinton Woods
5. Fabrice Tiozzo
6. Tomasz Adamek
7. Julio Cesar Gonzalez
8. Paul Briggs
9. Hugo Hernan Garay
10. Eric Harding

The Adamek win is looking really good at this point looking at this. and it was a good win. Dawson's resume is fine and only going to get better.

kessler and dawson both have good resumes at this stage.

Well maybe becasue Mundine is his best win

Chad dawson has fought 3 top 10 light heavyweights since he debuted at 175 in 2006.

antonio tarver, tomasz ademek and glen johnson. none of the three was the #1 of the division like calzaghe was for kessler but it's still pretty decent.

[CiganoBoxer]

he fought everyone he had to fight, just because of 2 blips on his resume (last two fights) everyone questions his resume. it seems your only as good as your last fight on this forum.
