    He does not have the best chin but his chin is very steady and he is hard to hurt.

      from what I have seen of both guys Kessler will probably beat Joe up. He's the bigger guy here and the jab will dictate the fight. The fight with Kessler Andrade will probably move Kesslers confidence level to equal or greater than Calzaghe's after the Lacy fight and if Stamina ends up playing a factor I give the nod to Kessler who is younger and hungrier. If Joe beats him it will be his greatest victory.

        This is tough to call now. Calzaghe is a tremendous boxer, but it remains to be seen if he will keep his youth for some more time. His next fight should give some idea of how Calzaghe would do in a fight against tough, skilled Kessler, who could not look any more solid against Andrade. I think the fight would end in a close decision for either fighter. I was not sold on Kessler, but I am more convinced after this great showing.

            Kessler by UD.
            Although I wouldnt be suprised is Joe C decisions him.
            Hes got a great fight left in him i feel.

              I wanna see this fight. Because people are begining to bet against calzaghe again, just like before the lacy fight and we all know what happened there. Calzaghe will beat Kessler by comfortable UD

                This looks like the same story as bfore the Jeff Lacy fight. The Calzaghe haters jump on the bandwagon.

                  yes and look what happened to Lacy. I'm not comparing LAcy to Kessler cause I think Kessler is far better. But I still think Calzaghe boxes the pants of him

                    I'd have kessler within 8. I have seen numerous fights from both men and can see 2-3 feeling out rounds before joe c takes 4-5-6 using his technical skills. However he will come in to often and to slow by rounds 7-8 and kessler will take over and drop him.

                      Calzaghe doesn't rally slow in any rounds. In fact his work rate is a lot better than Kessler's.

                      Kessler isn't a power puncher so I doubt he stops Joe. I'd still have Calzaghe favourite for this fight as Kessler is now becoming a Lacy hype train.
