    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.
    Kessler reminds you about Lacy? Not in style I hope.. How do you compare them?

      No, not in style. Just in terms of all these Americans jumping on the bandwagon becuase they hate Calzaghe.

        Some haters will, and some just think JC needs to fight a strong opponent soon.
        It's been loonely in the Kessler bandwagon for so long, I won't mind a little hype.. If it's what it takes to make the fight.

          I'd certainly like Calzaghe to fight a live opponent this year.

            Some of you guys need to wake up. People talking about Calzaghe running out of steam or getting knocked out...that has NEVER EVER looked even remotely close to happening.

            You see something approaching a credible opponent for him and all of a sudden it goes back to the whole Jeff Lacy syndrome.

            In a way I'm almost hoping that Calzaghe fights him next, just so that he can once again show how ridiculously short-sighted this forum is.

              Kessler is similar to Calzaghe,but Kessler is a master boxer,his defence is great,he hardly gets hit with anything big,he knows exacly what hes doing,and his punching accuracy is great

              Calzaghes punches are similar but he aint nowhere as good on the defence as Kessler is

              This fight was Similar to Calzaghe-Lacy,I seriously dont know who would win

              Who do u think favour?
              Calzaghe by UD! I think Joe is more experienced...

                I can't see this fight happening. If Joe goes to the States to fight Hopkins and Taylor, Kessler will be a major step backwards (not in terms of danger but at least in terms of prestige).

                  It's not a hate/hype thing. You got it all wrong.

                  You should be happy JC now has a credible opponent, who would face him if he got the chance.
                  Saying Kessler is good, isn't the same thing as saying Calzaghe is bad..
                  It’s possible to be a fan, and still appreciate other good fighters.

                    He has one of the best chins in boxing, and I think he is faster then Kessler.
                    Joes been on the floor a couple of times,i think Kesslers got the better boxing skills,much better boxing skills,i think Kesslers the more hungrier

                      Calzaghe by ud. I don't see Kessler coping with the amount of punches Joe throws.
