Kessler tells who's greater. Calzaghe or Ward.

    also the hopkins fight was a clear robbery. calzaghe was totally lost and hitting air. it was basically bradley-pac, but calzaghe landed even less than bradley.
    Simple really, Calzaghe beat a prime Kessler pretty easily and Froch didn't exactly do the same did he?

    Calzaghe struggled against Hopkins granted, but he still just won, and I'd have this as the best win either of them have had.

    Luckily I went to all three fights too

      You're welcome!
      Zsolt Erdei was lineal champ. Not Hopkins.

        Umm no, Kessler gave Ward the hardest pro fight of his career.

          i don't agree with your assements of any of these fights but even if calzaghe did beat a better version of kessler that doesn't mean kessler is a better overall fighter than froch. you seem to be using some sort of head to head triangle logic. jermain taylor "beat" a more prime version of hopkins and easier than calzaghe therefore taylor is better than calzaghe? i don't get it. when comparing fighters you have to look at their entire careers not just how they did against 1 opponent.

              Oh yes he did.

              I'm not surprised by you saying it though, since you also dont think the flying headbutts was a factor.

                Bika gave Ward his toughest fight. Kessler was one of Wards easiest win at elite level.

                    Please give me the exact time in round 1 or 2. Minute and seconds. Thanks

                      Watch the fight yourself. You haven't seen it for a very long time.
