A lot of people belive in Kelsser i belive Calzaghe should face Kellser first then call for Hopkins. Or else Kelsser is just an avoided fighter that will haunt him.

Calzaghe going after Hopkins isn't too different from Floyd chasing Oscar. If anything, Hopkins is still fighting closer to his best so why don't you all ***** about that instead?
Kessler, Hopkins, Taylor, Winky - it's all good with me. Maybe Kessler will accept the challenge this time, with his newly found (misplaced) confidence.Comment

That's the mentality of fans which won't give Joe credit.Originally posted by lefhooktodabody View Post
If he wins, it was because B-Hop is an old man, if he loses, he's an overrated British bum.Comment

Meanwhile, Calzaghe (don't get me wrong, I like your bloke) has been sent an open challenge from the other guy @168 holding the two other major titles. Is he deaf, or just smeggin afraid of the Viking Warrior?Comment

Yes, I'm sure Calzaghe is terrified of your boy.Originally posted by jangeorg View Post
You have to wonder, just how on earth has Kessler got two belts without one single solitary name on his resume? Now I'm not saying he's not a good fighter (I simply don't know on that score - nobody does), or that he wouldn't give Calzaghe one hell of a fight (again nobody knows for sure) but the only reason he's even remotely a credible opponent is that he holds them two belts. I was shocked just how bad Beyer looked on Saturday - he's lucky Bika is one dirty mother .... it'd have been a normal defence otherwise.
I do hope a unification fight happens though. Firstly so that one can actually happen (can't remember the last one!), and secondly so that Calzaghe can get some of the credit he deserves. I doubt Kessler's team could afford to bring Calzaghe over (although I did like Eubanks line - Joe is the World Champion. The World should come to him) so I guess it's either the UK or US.
Personally I'd absolutely love to see a Calzaghe-Hopkins fight .... wouldn't be the most spectacular but would be a very interesting fight to watch. And probably the worst style for him to face going on past experience, but then it would be his biggest payday by some margin! Domestically Clinton Woods is the big draw and would make him the two-weight champion but it wouldn't be the most exciting or most difficult fight out there. More dangerous would be Adamek but he's not that well known outside the Polish community.Comment

Maybe he wants/prefers a career defining fight against one of the boxing legends of the last decade? And that isn't Kessler (who has previously ducked Calzaghe).Originally posted by mr. bojangles View PostComment
