    If Kessler wins though, I think it will be in more of an impressive fasion then Taylor beat Bhop.

      combinations whatever he's textbook like hopkins.
      Kessler has a straight up euorpean style that is slighlty better then your average European tight ass Robot style most fighters have. He is nowhere near Hopkins in the skill and defense department. Not to mention he is not as crafty as Hopkins.

                Wrong. The Hopkins's, Toney's, Whitaker's are fighters you can always mention as more complete then the other guy no matter who they lose against.

                Example: Toney-Peter.......Toney is more complete
                Whitaker-Delahoya.....same thing
                Hopkins-Taylor....same as above.


                Kessler-Calzaghe......Hmm not so much.

                    Think about it, Hopkins has made 21 title defenses and was on his way out the middleweight division. His plan was to beat Taylor and move up to light-heavy and fight Tarver or Jones and retire. Taylor ruined those plans with consecutive victories and now Hopkins is not satisfied to call it quits before recking up a couple more big wins. Insted of one last fight at 160, Hopkins was forced to two more fights before moving up to light-heavyweight like he orignally planed to.

                    Now you have Joe Calzaghe in the same boat. After 20 title defenses he is looking for one more victory against the top 168 guy to secure his super-middle legacy and move up to light-heavy and possibly fight Hopkins and retire. He has given himself a 12 month period before he retires.

                    Kessler can foil those plans and prolong Calzaghe's career making him stick around for a rematch possibly. And who knows what a loss does to Calzaghe. He could end up fighting to his 40's to make up for losing his perfect record.
                    B-Hop vs Taylor I.....draw....B-Hop retains Taylor goes away sooner.
