    Does anyone actually give Kessler a chance again Calzaghe?

    Can any serious boxing fan really think that Calzaghe will be threatened by Kessler? Lets be reaslistic...this might be a worse beating than Jeff Lacy receieved.

    Yes, I think Kessler has a chance. Joe has never faced a fighter with the Kessler's skills. Lacy is one dimensional, Kessler is not.

    I'm not saying Kessler will win, but he isn't a gimme, either. I give Kessler a 40% chance of winning.

      Im Picking Kessler, and i think he has a very good shot at winning.

      Im not saying i think he's gonna pull off a massive upset, i think he's gonna win what should be a pretty even fight.

      Of coarse, Calzaghe should be the favorite.

      But Kessler is NO Lacy

        i do. people are giving Cal an edge because of his handspeed and experience but from the fights that ive seen from Kessler, he too has handspeed complimented by power. im calling it here..

          I want Calzaghe to win, but the fights too close to call. I don't think anyone is going to have a dominating performance in this fight. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they both fight each toe-2-toe and get a draw.

              Kessler is simply to powerful. On top of that he has speed. Should win this with a mid round knockout. Expect it to be Calzaghes last fight. What a career he has had. Kessler is awesome and severely under rated. He is a cruiserweight, fighting in super middleweight.

                  anybody whos followed boxing long enough knows that in big fights like this (or even in boxing period) anything can happen.

                  if the unknown buster douglas can knock out the invincible mike tyson then that means that upsets can happen anywhere, any time, to anybody.

                  kessler has a chance, regardless of how big or small it might be. he has youth, strength, durability, desire, conditioning, speed, technique, and being a unified champion is a good way of saying hes legit. calzaghe has speed, experience, durability, superb conditioning, technique, a hometown advantage, and im sure he still has something he wants to prove.

                  im going with my gut in saying that calzaghe's gonna win a decision. not as lopsided as the lacy win, but i think he'll get a clear decision. but if anyone thinks kessler doesnt have a chance, then they need to watch the douglas/tyson fight.

                  anybody can be beaten.
