    Finally we will see him in the ring with an elite. Lets hope Calzaghe won't look like Manfredo in comparison.
    Weren't they saying the same thing when Jeff Lacy went to Wales? "Calzaghe's going to get exposed", "Joe's gonna get KO'd", "They're going to show Calzaghe why he ought to stay in Wales"....I just don't see it happening. Kessler has a very conventional technique, albeit highly honed and as you say, among the world's elite. Problem with that is that Calzaghe does very well against conventional fighters. It's the oddballs that seem to give him a little trouble, and then only if he doesn't come prepared.

    I think it'll be a good fight, maybe even a great one, but it'll be mostly predictable. Calzaghe will control the action for the most part, will land the most punches, and will be a clear winner on the cards. Kessler will fight a very good fight, but not quite good enough to win. Oh, they might have a rematch, but it's academic, with the outcome a foregone conclusion.

    Oh, I see you're from Denmark....I'm glad you're loyal to your neighbors, but don't engage in self-deception. Bad habit to get into, that.

      The footmovement of Kessler is excellent. We saw that against Andrade. Against Beyer, he didn't have to move. Beyer had nothing that could hurt Kessler, so why run. Every time Beyer came forward, he got tagged. Yes, Calzaghe can dance around Kessler, but then he can't land anything. Calzaghe can't win this fight from a distance. Kesslers jab is to good and to fast. Calzaghe must get inside, and on the way in he will get tagged and Kessler will move away.
      Kessler will walk through calzaghe, he may loose more rounds than his previous career combined,but he will win

        I can see that you're completely convinced of it, so I won't try and argue the finer points any more, but I will offer to bet you every point I have against an equal number of yours that I'm right, and you're wrong.

        I feel it's only fair to tell you, though, that I haven't lost a boxing bet (when I picked a winner and bet on it) in years, and also that these points mean nothing to me, so even if I were to lose (no actual chance of that happening, I'm just giving you a hypothetical situation), it would mean nothing to me.

                i doubt calzaghe can take a punch after fighting all these creampuffs and when he does get hit he's gonna panic and probably jump outta the ring

                  Calzaghe will break his hand in round 2 and the other in round 4

                    calzaghe should replace his brittle hands with hooks. more effective and kinda cool looking.
