[B]Kessler ... could he beat Calzaghe or Lacy?[/B]

[!!! Beowulf !!!]

I would like to see Kessler be able to face them both, but like you said Calzaghe is likely to move up to light heavy. I fear for him there though where he will be at quite a reach disadvantage against most opponents.

Calzaghe is a tall Supermiddleweight though, about 6'2, walks around at 14 stone and has a decent enough reach, he should be good enough to overcome a titlist or two.

How do you think that Calzaghe would stack up to Tarver?

I doubt it. My fear is that Beyer will be given a final fight against someone like Mario Veit and basically hand his belt on.

good point!

One thing i would love to see, before he takes to the states, would be a fight against Beyer.. Not that it would have the same potential as Lacy / Calzaghe, i would just be nice to see the german get beat up.
My biggest fear would be, if Beyer retires as another useless hero as Sven Ottke.

Winner Lacy / Calzaghe, against the winner Beyer / Kessler.. could be great fun!! and very unlikely.

Does the germans fighters have any fans on the outside? - anybody??

Beyer recently signed a 2 year contract with Sauerland which is expected to be his last this at least gives the hope the WBC belt will be on the line in some more decent fights in the future perhaps even a unification fight if Sauerland can get options.

Calzaghe is faster and more powerful i'd say, but Tarver is an awkward fighter. It depends how well Joe does against Lacy.

I learnt a lot about Kessler when he came out to Sydney to face my boy, Mundine.

I've seen his recent fights with Cesar Green, Siaca, Mundine, Lucas, and a couple of earlier fights. The guy is one of the best talents to come out of Europe for quite some time. He's big, he's strong, he's quick, and he boxes very well.

I believe that Calzaghe is on the slide and Kessler would beat him, but I think it's more of a toss-up between Lacy and Kessler. It's hard to predict because they both haven't faced anyone like each other. It's a fight that should be made with both at their physical peaks, guaranteed fireworks.
