We know Lacy is a class b fighter, i don´t see a really big victory in Calzague´s record, come on! Calzaghe is overrated, no doubt Kessler is gonna own him.
Lacy's underrated after Calzaghe got through with him. I've seen every Lacy fight and Lacy is a good fighter. He doesn't suckVery true, right after Lacy got dominated, he was discredited as a boxer and they took away Calzaghe's hard earned win against the #1 prospect by then saying Lacy is not good. Calzaghe will win against Kessler and i can't wait to see how people are gonna say "Kessler was overrrated anyway"
every one of these threads begins with "Lacy was nothing"
how come 90% of the site had Lacy winning by early KO?
Correct, Joe has been the champion for so long and has beaten all put in front of him.
calzaghe the slapper has never had a great victory, in his time he's avoided all the top boxers and frank warren has carefully picked his opponents for him. he'll never be the all-time great he thinks he is because he hasnt fought anybody of that callibre, he's just a joke!

Thats what i was sayin too. Lacy and chris Eubank are the biggest names on his record. Lacy turned out to not have any boxing skills. and Eubank was past his prime when they fought. I think kessler is going to be the best fighter calzaghe has fought in his entire carrer. he is young, quick, smart, and has lots of boxing skill. This is not going to be another Jeff Lacy. The only doubt im having is if kessler can deal with calzaghe's southpaw style. I dont know if kessler has fought any southpaws.
Calzone is probably a good fighter...but who knows with his carefully selected opponents.
I think he should have a rematch with Peter Manfredo...so he can really introduce himself to the American public.
What a sham,farce,bunch of B.S. that was....I lost whatever respect I could have had for Calzone after that.
I agree that the fight shouldn't have happened, but don't blame calzaghe for the referees incompetence.

43 fights and he still hasnt fought anyone with A level talent.:nonono:
As a fan, it's incredibly frustrating. If he beats kessler and then either taylor or hopkins i'll be satisfied.
Calzaghe is no B-level fighter, the guy has world-class talent, he's just hasn't been tested.

Great fighter against weak opposition, but then again, so is Zab Judah. Truth is nobody has any idea how good Calzaghe really is until he beats good fighters and looks good doing it like Mayweather, Pacquiao, Hopkins, Wright and even Hatton have.
Taylor has beat some terrific names but never looked all that great doing it. Yet you won't find a single credible pound for pound list that has Calzaghe higher than him.
oi fooker stop jumping from thread to thread ignoring me....

Plus Hatton's resume is as padded as it gets and isn't even half as good as Mayweather's at this point. The b.s. about the guys getting questionable decisions is utter nonsense. Hatton edged Collazo just like Mayweather edged Castillo, but the difference is Mayweather won his fight against a better opponent and only had one arm. There is absolutely nothing bad you can say about Mayweather right now as far as his ring credentials go. He has fought everyone with the exception MAYBE of Casamayor.
'lol despise?......2 years?...talking shit?...truely you are deluded..if you can tell me over the past 2 years hatton putting down mayweather..then il send you $100 thru paypal...i know he said he was boring recently...but come on...over a 2 year period..hit me with it...if you can give me a list..back it up with sources..lets say...atleast 8 different quotes from 2 years..of him talking 'shit' as you put it about mayweather...you do that..then il send you $100...deal?...or you going to fanny out?'
lmfao at the haters, whenclazaghe beats kessler, hopkins and taylor they will say they were nobodies....
lol @ YOU
cal may beat kessler
but he wont beat hopkins and taylor
calzaghe = B fighter with great hand speed
since it seems Taylor and Pavlik are moving why doesnt he consider fighting at least one of them bet he wont but first lets see how does against Kessler who will be his toughest match
Both are fights i would like to see but i can see it now if joe wins taylor/pavlik are just middleweights joe bea a smaller man! Kessler should be his toughest fight your right can't wait got my tickets should be great.

No disrespect to all the uk fans in here but i think Calslappy is a wuss everybody wants him to prove a point then why cant he come here.at least Hatton took the challenge to come down here and prove he is one of the best and look whos he fighting and look who Calzaghe is fighting Manfedo please Joe for me is a joke and shouldnt be a champion.If Hatton came down here why cant Joe what makes him so special and so different
If he shouldnt be champ who should? who should he be fighting? he's fighting the 2nd best fighter in the division (assuming joe is top at the mo) All the americans come on here bashing him saying he's a bum but they all said lacy would ko him and look what happened! He was the top american at the weight who next? who do u want him to fight??

No way, against a prime lacy they would not beat him, Librado might have a chance but i would still side with Lacy, I'm sure Lacy could beat Mundine though.
Andrade will KO Lacy and Mundine is to fast for Lacy,so it will be a UD for Mundine,IMO
I can name two
Anthony Mundine and Librado AndradeNo way, against a prime lacy they would not beat him, Librado might have a chance but i would still side with Lacy, I'm sure Lacy could beat Mundine though.

Tell me, who has Kessler fought in his career??! name me 1 fighter that Kessler has beat that can beat Lacy.
I can name two
Anthony Mundine and Librado Andrade
