Kessler tells who's greater. Calzaghe or Ward.

    The guy who fought them both says it's Joe and he doesn't even think it's close. It's Joe without a doubt.

      Based on what? Ward has not even fought anyone fast or anyone who can move let alone a guy who throws 1000 slaps per fight.

        I rate Calzaghe very highly. He was nightmare to deal with in the ring. Awkward Southpaw with amazing stamina and threw thousands of punches with speed. His ring generalship was also top notch.

        Would have been sick to watch Ward-Calzaghe back then. Joe out of all the SMW today and back then would have been a serious threat to ward.

          Doesn't really mean much. Of course Kessler is going to like his real father more. Joe spanked him in front of 50,000 people.

          He doesn't like Ward. Not many kids like their "new dads".

              The reality is that Andre Ward kicked Kessler's ass for every minute of every round starting well before any headbutts it was obvious Kessler was out of his class from the opening bell.

              He's done nothing except try to take credit away from Andre Ward since Day One because Ward steamrolled his career and embarrassed him in what was supposed to be Kessler's Big American cable showcase fight that propelled him to worldwide recognition. He was the overwhelming favorite to not only beat Ward - but to win the entire tournament. Instead he got beat down and quit the tourney then went back to Europe for easy fights.

              Kessler vs Khan in the battle of excuse making would be a real back and forth affair.

              Speaking of which.... if you asked Khan he would probably tell you that Zab Judah was a tougher opponent than Danny Garcia or Lamont Peterson.

              2 peas in a pod. Khan and Kessler. Never take responsibility for their own failures.

                Ward's a better fighter but just hasn't done enough.

                Even then it's close though to be honest which tells you a lot.

                    This ^^^^

                    Kessler was outclassed in every aspect of the fights. The headbutts didnt change anything to the fact that Ward dominated him.

                    Ward at 30 years old has wins against:
                    Dawson
                    Froch
                    Abraham
                    Bika
                    Kessler
                    Gold medal
                    Super Six Champ

                    Calzaghe at 30 years old had wins against :
                    Pudwill ?!
                    Brewer
                    Veit
                    Omar mutherf uc1ing Sheika

                    And this but thurt guy Kessler will tell me that Calzaghe is greater than Ward ?! Get the hell out of here

                      I don't know who's greater but Kessler and 'Calzaghe are friends and Kessler doesn't like Ward whatsoever so I'm not surprised he feels this way. It would be interesting to also hear Bika's opninion.
