Calzaghe accepts offer to fight Kessler

[RAESAAD]

It isn't. They're like different countries with different languages, cultures, currency and everything.

While I understand all of that....It's still not that big of a deal IMO.

[.Mik.]

So then presumably you MUST think that American fighters coming to fight in England isnt a big deal?

[me2007]

The fact that the fight is the same distance from some place in the US to another place in the US isn`t the point.

The point is that the crowd, staff and just about everyone Joe encounters in Denmark will be rooting for Kessler, that is an advantage.

The distance in terms of miles from point to point isn`t the issue.

Not too much no......Germany is another story but I am sorry I just don't think Cal ia taking a Big risk or anything.

Yea I saw you in the crowd with your black suite and your white shirt.

Who's the ref???

BTW after seeing your score, you either not seen the fight or you're clearly biased. :wank:

It's kind of crazy that Warren actually is all right with Joe going to Denmark, but now it's up to Palle if the deal was legit or not. For boxing fans lets hope so.

[scap]

I dont think there is a fight out there that can garner Calzaghe more "legacy fame" then this fight.

Beating Hopkins would only give the Calzaghe haters the "he was way too old" card too play.

Beating Taylor is a forgone conclusion even by the most passionate Calzaghe haters.

Beating Kessler in Wales is huge.

Beating Kessler in Denmark will ensure that no one in the enitre world of boxing can ever question Joe Calzaghe again...ever.

[Technical_Skill]

Absolutely I would.

"Are you trying to claim that Bernard Hopkins and Jermaine Taylor have not been in the top 10 P4P list for the best part of the past 7 years?" BEST PART of the past 7 years. I believe that Hopkins was P4P top 10 for pretty much ALL of those 7 years. Taylor on the other hand shot into the P4P top 10 with his victory over Bernard Hopkins 2 years ago (which immediately catapulted him to Ring Magazine's P4P number 1). I think that its a fair enough general statement to say that between them they've been on for the best part of the last 7 years.

What? lol, Taylor has been p4p for two years, how is two years the 'best part' of 7 years?

LOL.

WHEN WAS TAYLOR POUND FOR POUND NUMBER ONE?

Two P4P fighters (you seem to be deleting Taylor from memory as though I said that there was no way that they'd fight) as well as two highly rated fighters, as well as a slew of fighters with strong credentials. Perhaps you underrate quite a lot of fighters, for example Eubank when he fought Calzaghe would be a force to be contended with in the current division.

What? One minute your saying he becomes a great even if taylor ducks him, now your talking about 'i didnt say they wouldnt fight'. lol.

I thought running, ducking wasnt fighting,

Infact, dont answer that with more clever wording, lets stick to the sweet science.

Exactly my point, a old chris eubank would be a force in SM divsion, because its probably the worst divison in boxing right now, at least the heayweights have Wlad, James toney and Sam Peter lol.

Maybe I'm not as cynical as you, but I dont believe that the plight of your division should necessarily take away from your accomplishments. Tszyu never moved up, but I think that he was a great fighter. The Heavyweight division wasnt great while Lewis was fighting there...but he was a great boxer..

Right, i dont consider tsysu a true great, and the HW divsion when lewis was around is better than the current super middleweight divsion, which is saying something. lol.

Btw, you may know, im not that hyped on lennox lewis, but at least he had more than ONE carrer defining fight.

Again, you are electing to disregard somethings. For example, Lacy WAS a career defining fight. Kessler WILL be a career defining fight. The winner of Hopkins and Wright WILL be a career defining fight. Taylor WOULD be a career defining fight. Thats 4. Furthermore, yes De La Hoya had more...but he ****ing lost most of them. Calzaghe winning his 4 would be more impressive to me. Yes Sugar Ray Leonard had more...but then he ******ly went on and fought too long, retiring undefeated would've been a lot more impressive (again, I must stress that I AM NOT claiming that Calzaghe ought to be ranked higher in the all-time list than De La Hoya or Ray Leonard if he accomplishes that I am talking about). As for Mayweather...really? How many career-defining fights do you think he has had?

Kessler is a carrer defining fight? LMAO.

Who the hell has Kessler beat to be consider a carrer defining fight? dont ever compare that fight with how many carrer defining fights Floyd mayweather has had, ive mentioned four above, all those guys were better than anyone JC has ever fought, Other than eubank.

How can beating kessler define his carrer? all it proves is that joe is the best at 168, we already know that.

however if Calzaghe takes Kessler, Wright/Hopkins and Taylor, it could certainly be argued that he faced better top fighters than Mayweather did.

LOL@ comparing Mayweather's resume to Calzaghe's, now it really does get silly, and lol@ anyone who wants to argue that.

De La Hoya> Hopkins (no way is hopkins a better fighter than de la hoya, anyhow these two had fought at a fairer weight class, would have been a totally different story.

Judah>Kessler, i think we can all agree Judah is on a another level to kessler as a fighter.

Lacy? Lol, Castillo>Lacy
