Kessler tells who's greater. Calzaghe or Ward.

    Still dont know why im arguing with a danish about a fight involving Kessler. It's like arguing with PacBoy about Pac. Im out Peace
    Show me where I said that Kessler gave Ward his toughest fight.

    I accept an apology dont worry.

      Very true.

      That's a good example you've used there.

        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.
        Me too, people go on about him having no power but leave out the fact that he was very fast and awkward and those so called slaps were coming from everywhere. Im sure anybody that fought him would say he was difficult to deal with, I think a lot of people don't like the fact that he retired undefeated for some reason.

          Kessler is obviously still butthurt over getting whipped by Andre. He's not exactly an objective source.

            who didnt see that coming?

            not saying he is wrong (even though i do think so) but he is obviously way too biased to be taken seriously. he just couldnt get over losing to ward and has been bitter and resentful towards him ever since. dont pretend it isnt true..

                Should have added dots before the tweet so it would force people to click on the thread instead of hovering.

                I would have loved to see a Joe-Andre Ward bout. Or imagine Joe in the super six. SHEEEESH

                  JC beat BH so is greater than Ward and Floyd. BH is greater than Ward and Floyd.

                    Joe had hand troubles in the later end of his career, when he was still in his prime. And I think that's the reason for the slapping, but had his hands been ok in the latter end, I think he would have beaten ward for sure.

                      Yeah but Floyd beat DLH so is greater than JC. DLH is greater than JC.
