My 90 Min convo with Dan Birmingham

Also, when you say he hasn't beaten the best level of competition......who would you say has? Taylor in my opinion has the most impressive resume, but beating 154lbs men is a far cry from Kessler's constant domination over top 10 168ers. That is why in my opnion, Kessler is the favourite.

I see no top fighters on Kessler's resume that he has beaten. I think Ward's style is all bad for him and will give Ward victory.

[THE REED]

He is made favourite by the majority of bookmakers i've seen. Personally, although the last 2 years he has wasted, i think he is proven to be the most skilled at the highest level of competition. While Dirrell seems to present the most all round skill, he hasn't faced anyone of note.

One loss to Calzaghe is no shame, especially when you consider he fought that fight with an injured hand, and his training was decreased due to the injury. Taylor aside, he has the strongest resume of all, but Taylor has a very big weakness, whereas Kessler's weaknesses are not presentable.

I may be wrong because of Kessler's inactivity, but Ward must give the best performance he has in him to pull out the win.

Pretty good reasoning there... although Im sticking with Dirrel..

the fight was great...well for me... the significane might have been nothing... but th eentertainment value was top notch for anyone who likes Roy... more than I could of asked for... way more.

Crowd was decent... Id say 80% full... chanting Roys name and everything... was thrilling

That was a really good read.

It's funny how lots of boxers, trainers, promoters etc in the game talk so highly of Calzaghe and he gets damn right disrespected on internet forums.
