We're talking before Mayweather?
Personally, I loved his title winning effort against Garcia. Garcia was an undefeated up and coming champ who I liked and he was putting the beats on Diego when the tide suddenly changed. But it was his wins over Manfredy and Gainer that made everyone sit up.Comment

The problem for Kessler (and Calzaghe at the time) is that SMW is a division that hasn't seen a lot of American domination and thus TV audiences.
It's the reason that P4P lists are mostly worthless. How can anyone judge if you're only seeing five or six weight divisions regularly?
Had Kessler and a few of the other top SMWs been American I firmly believe he would have been top 10.Comment

Kessler? I remember a lot of my American friends being excited about him. I think that's a pretty lame excuse - you can pretty much whatever fight you want regardless of where they're from. Nearly all the European super middles have been featured regular on Showtime - from the days of Been & Eubank even up until today.The problem for Kessler (and Calzaghe at the time) is that SMW is a division that hasn't seen a lot of American domination and thus TV audiences.

So the only division Floyd has fought in is 147?
If your gonna use Calzaghe's first division as an example (or his best one) then at least use Floyd's example as SFW or LW... his best division.Comment
