Calzage - Kessler ---£7m / $14m in gate reciepts?! :-o

[Technical_Skill]

what a 42 year old vs a blown up junior middleweight?

Yep its more of a superfight then Kessler vs Calzaghe, thats obvious to me,

Ill ask again,

Who has Kessler beat???

He is just a beltholder in a mediocre divison, he isnt a p4p fighter and isnt in the league of hopkins and wright.

Again the man does have some good skills, but i dont buy his hype right now, sidestepping and jabbing a shot markus beyer doesnt= a win over calzaghe.

If he gets stopped or wide ud'd lets see how many people talk about a superfight after that lol.

Is Hopkins vs Winky a superfight for UK fans, no. It's just American snobery, thinking any superfights have to have americans in. There both superfights in each others regions, its good for boxing that these fights are happening.

No its two p4p fighters and two modern day legends fighting, thats a super fight.

If its just american snobbery......

I now delcare Enzo Mac vs Wayne Braithwaite this saturday a superfight also.

lol.

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.

get real you say, and go on to mention hopkins vs winky.. because thet are p4p fighters.. is it the same hopkins that ruled a weak era, just a calzaghe did.. is this the same hopkins that lost 2 to taylor, and yet is still ranked top 5 p4p.. give me a break and why dont you get real.. the ring p4p rankings are blinded by the amercian fighters balls..

as for kessler, well he has beaten 2 champs, an has 2 belts, what more could he do. to get the belts??. and if you dont know it, when he steps in the ring in his last 5 fights, with the exception of eric lucas, has been ranked in the ring top 6.. thats since becoming a champ.. to me taht sound like a pretty good matchmaking

just because usa doesnt have a contender, it doesnt mean that the boxers in the div are without talent..

[majestiC]

LOL thats not what i mean, a super fight catches peoples imagination, would enzo vs wayne sell 60k-75k no, will it get the same viewing figures here in the UK no. Calzaghe as much as i dont like some of his matching making is p4p, Kessler is top 20 p4p. Both are undefeated and hold titles.

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

care to explain what you exactly mean.?

So, supermiddleweight is poor so the ranking dont mean as much, thats my whole point, on paper any idiot can declare this a superfight, 2 unbeatean fighters, unification etc.

But when you actually watch both fighters and look at thier resume you see that both havent fought many big names, both have questionable resumes and that Calzaghe should be a heavy favorite to win.

Who has Kessler beat????

lol.

I would adivise you to go into the thread created for this, saves me having to reply in two different threads.

As i said before, for Kessler and Calzaghe fans, its probably a superfight, for me personally, no.

Leonard Haggler a superfight? Yes

Tyson - Lewis a Superfight? Yes (Even though tyson was shot, cos lewis was seen as chinny and both had been in with serious fighters)

Calzaghe vs Kessler a superfight? not in my opinion.

Joe have you been in those fields again!
