    That would be difficult to predict, Kessler's struggle with his promotional company led to a lengthy period of inactivity and when he finally did come back, it was against limited competition. I thought he would struggle against Ward based on those issues. Calzhage fought the best version of Kessler and each time Kessler threatened to raise the bar, Calz raised his even further.
    I'm not doubting Calzaghe's performance against Kessler - It was joyous IMO but after that fight Calzaghe fans put Kessler on a pedestal like he was the guy to take over 168 when Calzaghe left.

    That evidently isn't true.

      Agreed, but this tournament has a lot to do with that, without the tournament a lot of these younger guys would not have been able to raise their profiles, in addition to that these guys were still a little green around the time when Kessler was anointed next in line after Calz, there just happens to be a lot more parity in the division now as opposed to when it was just Calz and Kessler.
