Who else gained respect for Mikkel Kessler?

[Addison]

Goddamn.. What a fighter!

I'm very proud of what he gave. Very proud.

[2501]

thats how you try to win a fight. both of these dudes are true warriors.

[Addison]

Unfortunately sometimes we get threads where people try to give props to a fighter in a losing effort and it's half baked.. I can honestly say it was never more deserved in this case. Kessler fought the way a fighter should fight. He went for it.

Calzaghe is just too much for ANYONE.

I'd love to see Hopkins vs. Calzaghe. JUST to see who would win.

It could be ugly of course..

Beautifully stated. I totally agree.

[The Weebler]

Two great guys, two great fighters.

Warriors.

That was a real good fight. Calzaghe vs Hopkins needs to be next, I say Hopkins will Maul him....but still HAts off to both fighters.

that would be a match for the ages..

if joe manages to beat hopkins, that will put him in the ATG list.

[The Weebler]

Calzaghe really wants Mayweather. He's said it before and for British fighters, he is the prize.

Edit: ok, I'm wrong. He wants Hopkins.

[-Antonio-]

He was very gracious in defeat. He even admitted that he was hurt, and that he was just outgunned overall.

[Ramamaiden]

i totally agree....losing this way against an amazing boxer as joe is, is something to be proud of.
he fought very good and he showed heart and tried until the end to win, so i respect that a lot.
