I don't think any of us are "writing him off". I acknowledge Kessler is a good fighter with some decent speed and solid defense, but Calzaghe is an elite fighter with great speed, solid power, amazing defense and counterpunching ability. I don't think it takes a neurosurgeon to figure this one out.

If Joe Calzaghe beats Kessler, will people shut the **** up about exposing Calzaghe? Calzaghe doesn't get exposed, he beats the **** out of other fighters.Comment

"Slaps the ****" - that is. Lacy remained standing after 1200 punches landed.
Kessler punches the **** out of fighters.Comment

Cal hasnt fought any elite fighters the closest was an old Eubanks actually if you look at his resume its full of holes , he should have been fighting the likes Bhop years ago instead of nobodys is why people doubt him , Kessler was hunting him straight after Lacy and he goes and fights Manfredo , you carnt argue an unbeaton record but you can sure argue the qualty of it when people start claiming he is great and HOF and elite ,,, we will see in this fight .Comment

Kessler isn't even going to be able to land ****. Calzaghe has fought better competition then kessler, you ****ing hatersComment

People who say exposed are idiots 9 times out of ten. "Exposed...fighter a can lose." Wow. So has every other. Calzaghe is a damn good fighter, one who would be held in awe if he were from Philly or NYC. While he no Hopkins' types on his record, would anyone bet against Joe against Hopkins foes save Jones?Comment

People use the term expose really poorly, no matter who wins this fight. Expose is the wrong word to use. If Calzaghe beats Kessler, he beat him because Calzaghe's the better boxer not because he exposed Kessler. Both are good boxers, no one is exposing anyone.Comment

good point; some will say they would, but only out of spitePeople who say exposed are idiots 9 times out of ten. "Exposed...fighter a can lose." Wow. So has every other. Calzaghe is a damn good fighter, one who would be held in awe if he were from Philly or NYC. While he no Hopkins' types on his record, would anyone bet against Joe against Hopkins foes save Jones?Comment

Joe's lack of 'elite' foes is ****** too. How many elite foes were there from 1997 to 2007? Hopkins, Jones, Ottke and DM. That's it. Liles if you want to stretch. He's done the next best thing...beat a slew of good fighters and make mostly good fights. The winner of this fight IS elite and iof it's tooth and nail they both are.Comment

If he loses It wont be because he got exposed, I know people think that kessler is another lacy but he isnt, kessler has speed and is the much stronger puncher, calzaghe hasnt fought a fighter as good as kessler for awile know, and anyone who says kessler is another lacy shouldnt give calzaghe credit for beating him.Comment
