Joe Calzaghe desribes his "slaps"

[Vladimir303]

Kessler will beat Pavlik should they ever meet. He is much better than Pavlik. Lacy is much worse than Pavlik, but all the same things were said about him before he faced Joe that are being said about Pavlik now.

1. Kessler isn't good enough of a boxer to beat Pavlik.

2. You might be right but Pavlik right now is already a proven comodity and Lacy wasn't. Joe Calzaghe represented to Lacy what Taylor represented to Pavlik. Kelly passed and Lacy didn't. simple as that.

That's the difference between being a real champion and just a title holder.

Kessler is one of the best boxers going. Incredibly technically correct. I would switch it and say Pavlik isn't good enough of a boxer to beat Kessler.

But that is enough now...

Oh come on, I was just playing. its not like I haven't written enough lengthy essays about this **** before:

1. Kessler is not protected, you only think that because he is European, he beat the rest of the SMW division bar Joe to hold two belts. Right now he is the best SMW in the world after Joe.

2. Calzaghe beat Hopkins, at the time the Ring LHW champ. A Flash KD doesn't mean a thing about how good a fighter is. If you think it does you don't know boxing. Juam manuel Marquez was KD 3 times the first round the first time he fought Pacqiao, he came back to winb most rounds and get a draw.

3. Jermain Taylor is not better than anyone on Calzaghe's resume. He is worse than Hopkins, Kessler, Reid, Eubank and probably Byron Mitchell too.

4. Calzaghe has reigned at SMW for 21 defences and 11 years and holds ring belts at 2 weight classes. Pavlik is a new MW champ of limited ability with 2 (or 1?) defences. He is not in Calzaghe's class in terms of record or skills.

Your the one that doesn't know **** about Boxing. Kessler, Hopkins, Reid, Eubank better than Taylor? Hopkins is the only one you can argue and Taylor beat him twice. Eubank was out of his prime when Calzaghe fought him, thats what Calzaghe does fight guys who are old, beat them & call himself a legend killer. But when he is suppose to fight Kelly Pavlik he has to make excuses.

You still have no explanation as to why Enzo Calzaghe claims a 40 year old Roy Jones is a bigger Challenge for a a 27 year old undefeated champion like Kelly Pavlik.

Kessler is a textbook prototype fighter. Have him come to the states and face a few guys who have some rhytm in their feet and movement and those losses will start piling up.

I'd definatly say Kesler is better than Taylor, other than the Pavlik fights Taylor has looked HORRIBLE. In every fight since Hopkins he looked bad. The ONLY old guy Calzaghe has fought so far is Hopkins the ONLY guy!
Pavlik would be a much harder fight for Calzaghe than RJJ right now but Calzaghe is having his last fight, he wants money. Hell if me or you were offered more money to fight a guy you could beat easier wouldn't you take it? especially if it's your last fight.

Roy jones jr is calzaghes worst nightmare! Does he not know that roy knows that calzaghe has no power wich is going to going to bring out the roy jones jr of old. Roy will be aggressive and throw some nice powers shots wth no fear of being caught!!! Calzaghe is in for a beatdown!!!

And who would u suggest?

[Vladimir303]

And who would u suggest?

Nobody in particular....I said few guys to test that 39-1 record.

How about Allan Green for starters.

This is what Calzaghe can look forward to on 9-20-08 with those slaps:
