I'd have to disagree.
I would say that I considered Robin Reid, Rick Thornberry (a solid fighter on a good winning streak who was only just taken out by Mundine in his last fight. This is the Mundine that took Kessler the full distance), David Starie (who gave Ottke one of his closest ever points decisions in his hometown long after Calzaghe faced him), Omar Sheika (who defeated Glen Johnson just prior to fighting Calzaghe and took Jeff Lacy the distance a long time after...Johnson, who still beat RJJ a while after that loss), Richie Woodhall (a skilled tactician with a strong record, the likes of which Kessler is yet to fight) and an unbeaten and much favoured Mario Veit (who registered victories against some decent names inbetween his two batterings from Calzaghe) to be a 6 fight streak that bests Kessler's 5 title fights. Especially important is that NONE of them register as Calzaghe's best victory.
