    Kessler has about as much variation as Apollo Creed. This fight is a boring mismatch.

      Nobody considered Calzaghe not to be the top guy after the Eubank fight, infact nobody considered anybody else to be close. He was cleanly the best guy.
      That is the truth.

      I'm hoping this fight happens now. Not for boxing reasons as Kessler couldn't be a more perfect opponent for Calzaghe if he tried (seriously people, this has the potential to be more one-sided than Lacy), but it wouldn't half shut up some utter fools.

      Are people really arguing Kessler should be #1 over Calzaghe due to Calzaghe's lack of opposition. ****ing hell.

          He does have a good jab, but Taylor's is better and Froch's is longer and maybe better.

            Winky's jab is the best in boxing...

              Wright's got a good jab, too.

              Taylor's was excellent pre-Hopkins (download some fights), but maybe that's a clear indication of a step-up in class.

                Taylor's jab is good, but it can be taken away as shown by both Hopkins and Winky. Winky took it away with his own jab, which shows how dominant it is. I don't think Kessler can jab as well as Taylor, let along Wright, but Kessler is better at following up his jabs with right hands...

                  But he has to land the jab first.

                  The only punch Calzaghe has ever been vulnerable too is the lead right hand.

                      Absolutely. Hopkins has the best lead right hand in boxing history and would land it alnight long against Calzaghe..
