Thanx man! You deserve donations.

>"The viking warrior" is gonna wipe the floor with this old has-been. I predict an extremely onesided bloody fight with Kessler winning each and every round, and Joe being too proud to stay down! JC is no has-been. He's a never-was.

:crazy: Of course it will. There was never a doubt in my mind.............Well, maybe some.

I've seen Kessler knock down a guy with a double jab. He throws all of his jabs so, so hard.

jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab and some more jabs. Thats basically the fight If you haven't seen the fight, shut your Calzaghesuckin' pie hole. @LilHopkins.... The fight is one sided and has maybe two close rounds. Rounds that still go to Kessler. He just keeps beating on that wooden head of Andrade. He should have gone more to the body. The 12th round is the best.

we can get mods to ban us from ever making an account here ever again... If thats possible. :) What would the point be?

Jeff Lacy is not neccesarily finished. He might even get a title again. But he will never be able to control a division, though. The first smart challenger that comes along will beat him, since Lacy never has a plan B. When he's figured out he doesn't seem to have the ability to change his game. He would still be able to get some good wins due to his power.

Louis= The one heavyweight champ at the time, dethroned the champ to win his belt. Calzaghe= One of a few 168 lb. champions, won a fight over a late replacement to win a vacant WBO belt, one of FOUR 168 lb. titles. exactly!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks, I'll try that. when is it on, euro time?

So a guy who couldnt finish lacy despite hitting him with 1,000 punches, A guy who couldnt finish Sakio Bika Is gonna make a guy who went 24 rounds with Bernard Hopkins Quit? lol. I agree... JC has had the last KO win of his career. He might be able to pull a TKO against another Pretender like Manfredo, though.

Calzaghe hater, don't bring up the fact that Calzaghe throws more punches then Kessler and he's the old dog now isn't he? Some ppl on this forum show some JC hatred. But stop being so paranoid when there's real critizism.

It's a good thing that Froch nonsense is over and done with; Kessler then Hopkins and Joe suddenly has one of the best schedules in boxing. Kessler then pension!

Four Danes now! If Kessler intends to live up to my expectations he will take the fight and give JC the fight of his life. Maybe even win it..........-JC by UD or Kess by KO/TKO I think.

None of the greatest fighters have perfect records! One loss won't hurt him much. ......If kessler goes on to be a great fighter, i'm even more right... -Right?

None of the greatest fighters have perfect records! One loss won't hurt him much. ......If kessler goes on to be a great fighter, i'm even more right... -Right? .......or what............?

Yes his achievements are legendary. Can he become even more of a legend? Yes! Hes amassed that record on the way up to have recently become champ. There are lots of boxers who arent champs with unbeaten records like Kessler. Joe has been champ for 10 years and is 35 and is still unbeaten. Will Kessler be unbeaten by the time he is 35 years old and people trying to take his title off him. It is harder to defend the title than to win it. Yep he is. ANd he wont be unbeaten by the time he is 35. You're probably right.... Except if he fights the same level of opponents as JC, he will remain undefeated and also he will get bored as hell doing it.

I think Palle's smart to demand 50/50 split. He will get it too. Warren has finally realized that he's not gonna get a big US fight unless jc holds major belts. You're not gonna get jermain taylor to risk a loss over the wbo belt. Not many americans give a rat's ass about that belt. JC needs to bring a real belt into a fight. Kessler's got two.(wba+wbc) The way it looks now with Kess getting more US exposure, he's actually way closer to getting a big $ fight than jc is.

Looks like a pussy around that time of the month... Stop crying & suck it dry! (I'm a sick bastard)

...and Pacman decides to take him on at superfeather or lightweight. Would people say this is a "boxing circus" like what they are saying with the proposed Pacquiao-dela Hoya fight?:boxing: Judging by the current appearance of Naz I'd say that Pacman would have to step up to heavyweight?

There aren't many good reasons for Kessler to fight RJJ. It wouldn't be a big win since RJJ is too old. There's no recognition in it. He could probably make a great deal of $ off it though, since US tv would be interested.

Easy. It's just about the biggest fight you can make in boxing right now. Therefore the fight is worth more than 3$ million. Kessler might not make as much fighing anyone else, but the difference between Kessler and Calzaghe is that Kessler can wait for his big payday, Calzaghe can't wait for his career defining fight. He needs it NOW, so why beat around the bush, making offers they know will be refused? You yourself claim the fight will be worth much more, why not give Kessler the 5$ million net, that you say he'll get anyway? You're right, Kessler probably won't get Taylor, Hopkins or Wright next, but again, he can wait for those fights, Calzaghe can't, and evidently HE can't get those fights either. HE can't even get RJJ, which it seems Kessler can. I think we can agree that an RJJ fight is a MUCH better way to introduce yourself to the American public, than fighting Manfredo? If Kessler beats RJJ in convincing fashion, the pressure on Calzaghe to fight him will be even greater. Doesn't it make sense for Kessler to take that fight then? To get better leverage in negotiations? I think so. Taking the fight now for 3$ million would be stupid, when the fight is worth so much more than that. Regarding whether Calzaghe is the bigger name fighter... Namewise, not by much (except in England perhaps), and I think he's definitely got the bigger legitimacy issues. It's perfectly okay for Kessler not to be proven, he's the young gun. Calzaghe is infamous for NOT fighting the right opponents, and lowbidding everybody (Taylor, Kessler, RJJ by my count) will just tarnish his legacy, when he retires having beaten an old Eubank and an untested overrated Lacy as his only accomplishments. Make the 5$ million offer, it's obviously economically feasible, and we'll see the fight that makes the most sense (Taylor needs to get back to winning convincingly in his own division before stepping up, IMO). Greatest post I've read in the JC/Kess threads so far!

When JC looks back on the fight against MK the only positive thing he can think of will be the fact that his hands didnt break. - You gotta hit something to break'em.

Talking about "no-defense-Lacy" again are we? Careful old Joe, you got a real fight on your hands this time. Those sweet Lacy memories may soon be all you've got. You say "may". I say "will".

well if we compare it to calzone´s manfredo fight, the main reason for this fight to happen, would be to introduce kessler to the mainstream audience, and if you ask me, its hell of a lot better to get noticed by stepping into the ring witt jones then manfredo, even if jones is shot, he still is classes better then manfredo.. it seems like those guys getting behiind joe, in his attempt to get his name across the states via manfredo, isnt willing to accept kessler is doing the same.. jones is still a big NAME, just not world class anymore.. as a kessler fan i would accept, that he uses jones as a way to make his name even more recognisable in the states, nothing more nothing less.. us hardcore fans, discussing and debating, also have to consider the fact, that the gap between us hardcore fans and the mainstream fan is qiute big, on tv jones is still a popular guy, people would stil be hoping for him to do it 1 last time.. kessler probably would win, gettint a big payday and getting his name across the atlantic.. True. To the average boxing fan it would be interesting. As for the ever going comparison btw JC and Kess opponents... It's not interesting since jc won't ever be remembered as an atg exept by his own blind fans. Hell he's only had 1 great win since eubank. And time might even tell that the lacy thrashing wasn't great at all.

JC says Kessler needs lessons from Schmeichel....!? :pat: JC, you probably know nothing about football and you will get schooled by Kessler, you cocky, ten-year hype job!!!!

Mundine is a good boxer. He's no real champion though and not very highly regarded outside Australia. Joe is right about that. It's almost funny, though that a few months ago on his own homepage Joe said that Kessler was nothing outside of Denmark. Now he is suddenly the best match up there is.

I'm not talkin about speed. Kessler has met several fighters that had faster hands than him. No one can get past that haaard jab.

50th anniversary of promoting??? what the fuck?? The guy is willing to go to his own back yard to face him and they want to postpon it for a fucking aniversary?? If this is true, I won't blame Joe for telling him "fuck you" and go for a different fight. Kesler has been running his mouth about Joe not fighting him, now the guy accepts a fight in HIS OWN BACKYARD and he brings up an aniversary bulshit? I just lost a whole lot of respect for Kesler, he should have taken the fight under any circumstances if he wanted the fight as much as he said he did. 50th anniversary of promoting?????? You can't postpone an event, that hasn't been signed yet!
