Cummings and Porras.
He seems very sound, nothing spectacular, nothing special, but very sound. He controls things with his jab, has strong focus.. he's a fast, compact puncher and always brings his hand back in guard very fast. I like his short left hook, rarely misses and really difficult to counter.
He'd be totally overwhelmed by the prime Calzaghe of 10 years ago or five years ago though. He might beat the extremely weakened Calzaghe at 168 these days, but at 175 Joe takes him out. I hope Calzaghe fights Woods next and then gives Kessler a shot at 175, because he's too weakened to fight well at 168 these days.
Btw, Kessler dealt with Cummings and Porras every bit as well as Steve Collins and Carl Froch did respectively.
You're an idiot, and clearly setting yourself up for Kessler to price himself out..
The fighter makes the belts, not the other way around.
I thought of writing that earlier but left it alone.
shut up man.. cazaghe this. hatton that.. just be quiet man.. damn
Naaah. WBA and WBC the far more significant belts.
Kessler should settle for no less than two-thirds.
Otherwise Calzaghe can got feck himself. He is fast on his way into oblivion anyway. He'll have one more fight against a nobody - and then the world will soon forget him.
Who the feck WAS :peeright: Calzaghe????? - Oh the guy who held a WBO belt and played it safe....
:D :D :D
lol since when was it the belt that made the fighter
its funny i always thought it was skills and record that determined how good a fighter was andf not the belts
I have no doubt Kessler will price himself out - according to Warren.
Next fight for Calzaghe will be Ashira II or something.
Everyone else will price themselves out.
Dont count Ashira out of a remtach he undoubtedly learned a lot from their first fight...this one could be real interesting lets hope it can get done!
Nice post!
Brahmer will have to be more focussed if he is going to get a shot at a title. The way he has been fighting recently he will not have any chance againts Calzaghe or Kessler. Remember he recently lost to Veit and has been looking anything but sharp and forcussed in his last couple of fights. He is a great talent but at the moment his head is not in it.
Totally agree with you.
I wonder what Kessler's team is going to do now they hold two belts ... demand half the purse? Can't see that happening.

My thoughts exactly.
As for Froch - absolutely no idea how he'd cope in the top company. He always has the ability to knock someone out, but can look very bad against woeful opposition. He's also not exactly stepped up to fight any of the world class fighters so far either, which for his age is a little worrying.

At the end of the day, Calzaghe is the best in his division of the last 10 years by miles.. so Kessler should feel honoured and privaleged if Calzaghe gave him a shot.
But could anybody blame Calzaghe if he chose Bernard Hopkins at Madison Square Garden at light-heavyweight over Mikkel Kessler in Denmark at super-middleweight?
Some would.
I like the way it would be Calzaghe's fault if the fight didn't take place. Last time I checked it takes both parties to agree terms. I wonder what Kessler's team is going to do now they hold two belts ... demand half the purse? Can't see that happening.
I have a feeling that for this one to take place it'll need to be somewhere big and probably in the UK .... looks like the Millennium Stadium then.
The whole Kessler-Beyer fight is now on-line...

Kess-Cal looking more likely; from Bernard Fernandez in today's Philly paper:
Hopkins, however, reiterated he'll come back only for a shot at WBC heavyweight king Maskaev (33-5, 26 KOs).
"I'm not interested in winning a super middleweight championship," Hopkins told me. "Calzaghe's a good fighter, but I can't bring a Calzaghe fight to Jeannette . I was surprised she went along with the heavyweight thing, but she saw Maskaev fight three times on TV, against Tua and twice against Rahman. She said, 'If you get hit, you're done, but you can get away from him because you have the speed.' "
Kessler and his people want this fight in the worst WORST way. It's their best shot to bringing Kessler to a large audience. They think he's that good and they've built him to this moment.
shut up man.. cazaghe this. hatton that.. just be quiet man.. damn
OH?!!? ok then Toney THIS and BROCK that AND Shannon Briggs giving them both a BLOW JOB.. feel better ya yankee PRICK?
Holy shit.. I hope they don't price themselves out.

I sure hope not..
Calzaghe gets a chance of leaving smw as the worlds best, and Kessler get´s to prove what he´s been saying all along.
:boxing: Lets get it on.
