    Calzaghe doesnt ruin anybody behave yourself!

    Just watch how accurate, powerful , and short his punches were then compared to the froch fight say?

    Completely different fighter for me.....

      I think Tarver said it already, Kessler used to have one of the best 1-2 in the game, it was fast and powerful when he let it go, too bad it's gone.

        People need to drop the act, and just admit they have biases.
        ward completely dominated the guy who is calzaghe's best win. what's there to misunderstand? underrated resume you say? a guy like carl froch has compiled a much better resume than calzaghe in a little over 2 years. for someone who was champion for over ten years his resume is complete garbage. yes people are being biased because mger mtyckian, tocker pudwill, and juan carlos giminez ferrari are really on par with dirrell, pascal, and abraham.

          Kessler looked back to his best against Froch. He beat Froch at his own game.

          If Kessler can hela up and stay busy he'll have a large say in this division. I still think he beats Bute.

            Fighting is 80% mental and not all boxers get over loses. I think He bounce ok from the Calzague loss, but not great. The fight basically finished him slow.

              "ward completely dominated the guy who is calzaghe's best win. what's there to misunderstand?"

              For someone like yourself - quite a lot.

              I already stated the reasons.

              "underrated resume you say?"

              Yes, I do say. He beat, what - 8 or 9 World Champions? Would have been 9 or 10 if Reid and Mitchell weren't robbed in Germany.

              His number of title defenses.

              "for someone who was champion for over ten years his resume is complete garbage."

              Your opinion. Is as legit as anyone elses, but it stops being an opinion when you don't think critically.

              Critique everyone else of that era - The Roy Jones', The Hopkin's, etc etc.... and maybe you'd have a point. The thing is though, that you don't have a point, and you never have.

              You're a simple entity - whose sole purpose is to try and ridicule all that you don't understand.

              You're the epitome of Ignorance.

                ricky hatton ko'd a guy who mayweather struggled against.

                therefore ricky hatton is better than floyd mayweather jr.

                    lol they didn't even fight at the same weight where mayweather fought castillo. terrible comparison. kessler was basically the same fighter that calzaghe fought. he wasn't shot or in another weight division like castillo.

                      daggum is clown who cannot go one post without mentioning Calzaghe.

                      Poor chap probably caught his girlfriend flicking her bean to a picture of Joe.
