Calzaghe is way overrated. He has yet to beat an elite boxer. How is he rated in the top 2 or 3 p4p? What has he done? I mean if he is so good, why hasn't he fought a great fighter. Kessler is the best he's fought and Kessler is barely an above average boxer. I'm not saying that Calzaghe is bad, but one of the best p4p? I don't think he belongs in the top 10 even. If he gets into the ring with Hopkins, Pavlik, Taylor, or Wright and beats either one of them, than he belongs, otherwise, he is way too overrated.

I stopped reading when you said "Kessler is barely an above average boxer". I guess 39-1 is a mediocre record now.

you really take records that seriously? there are atleast 100 active fighters with better recrods than hopkins. Does that mean they are all better? Answer no, cuz its not the records, its the opposition that counts. If hopkins fought in Denmark or England all his life, He would be 53-0 instead of 48-4-1.

only on boxingscene what jackass. why don't you post an argument on behalf of calzaghe instead. I don't have anything personal against Calzaghe, if he does something worth while, I will pay him his due. I don't see him as a top 10 p4p thats all.

I take what I see seriously. Kessler is an excellent fighter who had several title defenses. I picked him to beat Calzaghe, but life is all about making adjustments. Anyone that has seen Kessler fight knows that you are dead wrong. His opposition may not be as good as Hopkins, but it still puts him miles above average. And BTW, I doubt that there are 100 active fighters that have won 48 times, period.

name 5 of calzaghe's best oponents and 5 of kessler's best oponents. oh and, title defense doesn't mean anything, its who you are defending the title against that means something.
