    It's on, and one of the biggest fights of the year. - I don't really care about location.

    I haven't got any inside info, but Palle went very quiet after Warren accepted the fight in DK. From what I read in Danish media, Palle couldn't meet Kessler's demands and pay 5 mill. to Warren at the same time.

    The yanks may be afraid to do business with Palle in the future.. I'm happy it's on, but I lost a lot of respect for Palle, and I doubt he’s the right manager for the new 3-belt champ.

      You really think Calzaghe would sign for him? He's already got a problem with promoters holding him back.

          If he wins this fight and maybe another fight with a guy like Dawson, Tarver, Hopkins, heck even Wright I believe that will be enough for the hall of fame. He has basically the same number of defenses as Hopkins and against the same level of opposition. I dont see why just because he is from Europe that it really effects his legacy.

            Kessler is overrated. Calzaghe's workrate should neutralize anything Kessler does.

                I thin Calzaghe will win it quite comfortably, i doubt he will stop kessler because of his hands but he will win by a clear decision, something like 117-111

                    Nice, level-headed take.
