Kessler WBA superchamp.

Kessler has never faced anyone as good as Robin Reid at his best, and has never faced anyone as brutal as Jeff Lacy or Byron Mitchell. Kessler's claim to fame before the Beyer fight was beating Anthony Mundine, who was KTFO by Sven Ottke of all people and wouldn't have lasted five rounds with Calzaghe. Calzaghe didn't KO Jeff Lacy either, even though he got 1200 free shots. Neither was he able to KO Rick Thornberry (who Mundine KOed)

super champ, i know that the WBA has had this title for a good little while but it seems like they're just making it up as they go along! next they're going to have the super duper champ or the millennium champ, or the ultra champ or some stupid shit like that. i wonder if they are having children come up with these ideas.

If this fight is to be made it has to be in the UK. In the UK it can be televised around the world and will attract a huge crowd. In the US there won't be enough public interest to stage such a fight and Denmark is a bit of a Boxing backwater so it has to be held in the UK. That I can agree with. UK or even better, the fight should be in the US. Think the tv deal could only get better if it was live at primetime. Anyway, "team palle" has yet to make an event that would fill a stadium. I wouldn´t mind, if that´s what it takes...

Let's face it. Daneland/Denmark, whatever you want to call it, is only good for hosting porn. Retaliation sucks, aye? Not ONLY - but we're good at that too. Glad you've noticed.

It would be more likely to be picked up by networks such as HBO if the fight was in the UK. ....... Why?

Wow, i'm so impressed. The brits are actually able to televise around the world? That's so neat. Undoubtedly it will take countless generations before any other nation achieves such a level of technological excellence. Them brits are sure something.

Pastry surely? I'm sure you'll get the opportunity to say that to your boy when that nasty Welsh bloke "does a Lacy" on him and takes his belts away. Does Kessler like biscuits? I assume he does.

It's like arguing with my 4 year old. Dry your eyes and have a biscuit.

You seem to be under the misguided impression that internet polls are uncorruptable and accurate gauges of public opinion. Which is a little bit silly really. I think boxing opinion would be fine with Calzaghe fighting a big name rather than the untested Kessler, although it's looking likely that the latter will happen, so long as Palle's demands aren't ridiculous (and all this talk of "if the money is right" from Palle makes me wonder ....). Those polls are never the less the best indication we have of what boxingfans want. In may be inaccurate. but there's nothing to support an argument that other opponents are prefered by a greater number of boxingfans. As for whether the fight will be made and Palle's demands. I have little doubt it'll fall through and Fwank will blame Palle for outpricing himself. Kessler is not gonna bring his belts to the UK for free and Warren will not want to pay him. Simple as that. Then you guys (the 5-6 ppl left in the Calzaghe fanclub) will be cursing Kessler for not taking the fight - while watching Calzaghe put up another mediocre performance against a sub top-20 opponent. Meanwhile the rest of the boxingworld will judge Calzaghe/warren on their (negotiating) record and attitude of late and (rightly) assume Calzaghe is 100% to blame. At the end of it there won't be an ounce of respect left for Calzaghe outside of his fanclub (now reduced to 3 ppl). Ppl will automaticly disrespect and downgrade all previous Calzaghe victories and he'll retire without ever getting his "big american money fight", being considered one of the biggest overhyped frauds in recent boxing history.

Open your eyes. A clear a majority of those at all interested in SMW will be very disapointed in Calzaghe, if he doesn't take the Kessler fight. Thats what the polls show very clearly. Calzaghe will get minimal respect for taking any other fight. - Even if it is Taylor (the best of the rest). You are right about 1 thing... I want this fight to happen.. But not because either combatant is JC or MK.. but simply because .. for however long it takes before one of the BODIES strips a belt for more sanctioning fees.. We would have a UNDISPUTED UNIFIED champ in boxing..

Only from the Danes. Who have clearly shown no appreciation for the sport, so whose opinions can be dismissed. Look, the fight's happening anyway due to the bigger names and better boxers being tied up. Be happy. Open your eyes.

You're the worst shit-talker I've ever seen. Congrats. Why are you here for ???,you are talking like a 8 years school-boy,fucking gay

In this case - apart from your little gang - it's clear he'll catch a lot more flack for fighting anyone OTHER than Kessler. Only from the Danes.

WTF are you talking about? That's just gibberish. This forum's for boxing fans, not 13 year old girls with a tattoo fetish, so fuck off out of it. Why are you here for ???,you are talking like a 8 years school-boy,fucking gay

So by calling out Taylor, Wright and Hopkins he's ducking a big fight? Do you ever think these things through? He's calling retirees and middles while ignoring the most obvious.In just about every international boxing forum there's been polls about who ppl want Calzaghe to fight next. I think each and every one has pointed towards Kessler as a clear favourite. But of course that means feck all to Calzaghe. Anyway, that first sentence makes it sounds like the Kessler fight is a done deal, before he moves on to bigger and better things. Which also kinds of makes your "ducking" references utterly ridiculous. BS - obviously refering to rumours and speculation I can kind of understand Calzaghe's comments (he's been knocked enough for fighting unproven fighters in the past, so another one doesn't help there), although holding all 4 belts is a decent alternative. In this case - apart from your little gang - it's clear he'll catch a lot more flack for fighting anyone OTHER than Kessler.

Winky and Taylor are bigger names than Kessler, IMO. I would prefer Calzaghe to fight either of them a head of Kessler. Since these fights aren't gonna materialise any time soon, it more or less looks like its going to be Kessler early next year. Nope - coz as Calzaghe made it clear he's not interested in Kessler. It's gonna be Manfredo, Green, Joppy or someone else who fits the criteria of being both american and relatively easy fights.
