    No its not a superfight to me, and like $in said, the american certainly wont see it as a superfight........will it be on HBO ppv, or free to view, me thinks it could be the latter. lets see.

    Schumacher is the **** - i hope Kimi follows in his direction... and Hamilton too of course

    I agree with your prediction of the fight, i've always said Kessler is robotic and Calzaghe should dance around him, but Kessler is highly rated by many and this fight has been talked about for years, many American's suggesting Kessler can beat Calzaghe.

    It IS a superfight. Not just in Europe but boxing fans worldwide will be taking notice. It doesn't have to be in America or on American PPV to be a superfight - the fight however is only a victim of American's not giving enough TV exposure to both fighters, particularly Kessler who they seem to have ignored. It seems they only really give a toss about boxing and big fights when it's their own American/Mexican fighters.

      people in the UK will never pay in the thousands for a ticket to watch boxing matches. there are too many other sports that people would be willing to spend their money on.

      i personally think that it is a super fight because they both hold world titles. WBC AND WBA with Kessler. WBO with Calzaghe (although he decided not to retain his IBF). but belts don't make fights for me. fighters make the fight for me and i enjoy calzaghe's style and the fact that both are number 1 and 2 should hopefully mean it's a close fight. Kessler is a decent fighter with a good right hand and jab. he's a lot younger than joe aswell.

      It all depends on what you call a super fight. i think a super fight is about the heart and punches being thrown. i think the eubank benn fights were super fights for what they threw and took. yeah these guys arent from america and will not get the attention from the american public as some of the even slightly big US/Mexican names will get, but i hope that they give a good fight and that it allows people to realise that there are big fights across the world.

        You need to flood my PM box, then try to flood my profile comments, then fill my karma bar with racist ****, then call my girlfriend a whore, then i might think about getting a little irritated.

        Either way the moment for that has passed. And seeing as how you love Nas so much, its going to definately take alot more convincing than that.

          Anyone who thinks this isn't a superfight is an idiot. How often do we get these sort of unification fights any more?

            its actually funny.. every boxing fan is screaming for the divisions to have undisputed champs.. and what does some boxing fan do, cry out and say, this isnt a superfight.. ****ing ******s--

            had this been 2 undefeated americans, the amount of pr and hype sorrounding the fight, would be immense..

            1. two undefeated champs..

            2. 3 belts, had cal not dropped the ibf, all the belts worth mentioning would be involved

            3. and mostimportantly, we will have 1 guy, who is the undisputed champ.

            its without a doubt the 2 best fighters in the div, and for one just to claim, this isnt a superfight, because joe will win easely, is pretty ****** if you ask me.. nobody is going to have a field day, this is going to be one tough fight for both of them,,

            now the last so called superfight, was pbf vs dlh, if i were to use the logic from earlier, i would say... well the p4p nr 1, against and old and retired dlh, thats easy to predict, of course the p4p nr 1 should win, therefore that wasnt a superfight..

              The backstory behind the opinion you criticize is very ugly. TS you forlorn, hopless creature!

                Lol, how is this a superfight when Kessler just isnt that good, who has he fought to get this reputation???

                Please tell me.

                His skills are good, but they dont justify the hype, and 168 is not a great divison which is why guys like Beyer and Kessler became champs, get real.

                And People werent saying DLH was old when they were saying he would KO floyd, lol.

                De La Hoya mayweather was a nearly a pick em fight, it was clearly a fight that could have gonna either way, thats what made it exciting, certainly in terms of hype.

                This is totally different, calzaghe is gonna have to lose this fight himself, i been saying it for a while, unless Kessler seriously improves his footwork within the next few months, he's gonna get found out.

                If Calzaghe easliy Ud's Kessler dont be suprised.

                Its all about perception, to me, no its not a superifight

                Bernard hopkins VS Winky Wright, thats a superfight, two p4p's going at it in what is expected to be the purest form boxing skill seen in a while.

                Kessler vs Calzaghe is a big fight to me, not a superfight tho.

                    You dont consider two p4p fighters and arguebly two of the greatest fighters of the last 20 years meeting a superfight?

                    But Kessler Calzaghe is a superfight?

                    LMAO.
