"Kessler fights without parades/defense, and I see nothing in him which worries me. I think that a fight with Kessler will be one off my easiest fights ever, and I hope that we can get it going.
He is a mediocre fighter. He is not particulary strong or techniqually good, and I am sure that I will KO him early in the fight. 2 - 3 rounds max!
I am going to destroy him, and I am ready to fight him in Copenhagen"
There is little doubt that Joe Calzaghe is one of the best boxers in the world. If he brings his A-game I expect him to beat Kessler. The question is, what if he performs poorly again? It is not clear to me that the kind of performce he put on against Bka will get him the win against Kessler.
I think Joe will get himself right up for this fight the same way he did against Lacy he knows he has a lot of doubters out there and will see this as a great chance to stamp his mark again. He'll be on the same form as when he beat Lacy and will beat Kessler without a doubt.
Kessler might be more highly skilled then Lacy but Calzaghes not a bad boxer himself.

Calzaghe had a clear style advantage over Lacy. That doesn't make Lacy a bum as he has been characterized by the hindsight commandos. He is a puncher with a flawed style. Kessler is a different kind of cat. He may not have Lacy's firepower, but he has much better fundamentals. It was the lack of good fundamentals that made Lacy an easy victim for Calzaghe.

Lacy was made out to be the best thing since sliced bread and Joe outclassed him completely. Who is Kesslers most impressive win against???

I personally can't see how Calzaghe's hands can hold up to another 12 round battle like this,he will be KO by Kessler
Kessler is hype upto now, same as Lacy was. I expect a repeat performance from Joe he'll totally outclass Kessler no way Kesslers knocking him out.
Jones is well past his best now but in his prime no one around middle /supermiddle/light heavy nowadays wouldve beaten him.
i think jones would beat kessler and calzaghe.. calzaghe is fast but throws wide shots.. and kesslers defense isnt tight enough to pressure jones non stop .. he will get pop shotted.. jones legs are too fast
Sounds good. I agree.
But Kessler is not complete garbage. :no:
He could fuck up most any "conventional" fighter.
But Calzaghe will be all over him. :fing02:
I don't think Calzaghe's opponents understand his will.. He's fire.
Kessler will get eaten.
Why wasn't Bika "eaten?" :thinking:
Calzaghe has never faced anybody as good as Kessler. Taking a step up in competition at an advanced age is a high risk proposition.

Why would one more fight have an effect? You do realise he's had these problems all his career don't you. Does Kessler have an especially hard head?
I agree with you that if kessler wins he wins by KO. There is absolutely no chance of a Kessler decision victory unless it is an absolute robbery.
Calzaghe will beat Kessler, going into the Lacy fight some people were of the opinion that Joe was outta his depth and look what happened. In hindsight Lacy was over hyped and I think the same things happening with Kessler.

haha I hope Kessler does fight well! Maybe he just fights to the level of his opponents....perhaps he will KO Calzaghe...anything can happen
I agree,anything can happen in this fight
its just my opinion. I can see flaws in Kessler that will be exposed.
I dont think he's difficult to hit and has a poor defence. His footwork is bad and he hasn't fought anyone on Calzaghe's level.
Maybe he will prove me wrong; but i think his only chance is if Calzaghe's ego takes over like it did againt Mitchell and he gets drawn into a slugfest.
Even then, Kessler could get knocked out.
I just think Calzaghe has more ways of winning, and Kessler only has one, a lucky punch.
Like you said,it is just yours opinion:fingersx: ,not mine,btw,i think Kessler will KO Calzaghe in round 6-8,but like yours opinion,it is mine :boxing:
Kessler has only lost two-four rounds his intire career,so why could he not win on point

anyone can win, but the idea that Kessler will outbox Calzaghe is crazy....
Kessler can`t win on points he needs a KO
