    Calzaghe had a clear undisputed victory over current consensus number 1 supermiddle kessler, whom at that time was in his prime as opposed to now after a long layoff, and if kessler wins this tourny, this must do a lot for calzaghes all time status. Their are so many calzaghe haters on this forum it is silly, everyone wants to say a prime bhop and rjj would have beaten him but no one could ever know that. Rjj would have had a better chance, bhop still loses he has always had problems with speedy, fighters who use angles. Bottom line he retired an undefeated 2 division undisputed world champion, so if kessler wins this tourny, hopefully people will come around

    I doubt anything will bring all the haters around.

    I think the haters are spurred on by the nuthuggers who think he's the greatest ever.

    Reality is that he was an excellent fighter and future HOFer but not the best ever (by quite some way)

    I'll think, Calzaghe has **** to do with the Super Six.

    IMO it would do a great deal for Calzaghe's resume. It's pretty thin as it stands now and any achievements by Kessler would benefit him.

    if he came back and beat the super six winner then he'd prove his greatness if he's not already

    I doubt Kessler is going to win the tournament,Hes not as good as people really think he is...but hey if he does win the tournament,I will def praise him and give him his props...But If i have to lean towards a fighter to win the tournament,it would be between AA,Dirrell,and Ward
