    past prime?? name a time he fought as good he did against Lacy only 3 fights ago, dunno if your getting excuses ready for a possible kessler win but calzaghe has shown no sign of fading.


    calzaghe to win UD

    That was his peak performance past his physical prime, I fear he won't be able to reach that level of performance again, his reflexes have looked slightly faded in his two fights since (Bika landed plenty of rights, against Manfredo he wasn't quick enough to just leap in throwing hooks like he used to be capable of - I reckon his elusiveness has just faded that little bit)

    We all remember how quickly Roy Jones declined

    Watch and learn, especially around 4:00 to 4:10. I think that even Blocky will agree on that statement - when thinking about it twice. :hey

    Kessler is so hyped by the fanboys that people have convinced themselves that he belongs with the elite. This guy is going to get exposed.

    Exactly what people were saying about Kostya when he was supposedly in career best form after beating Mitchell the 2nd time. then 6 months later after he lost to hatton everyone was calling him shot.

    I think Kessler will take this one on points.

    Still can't belive how Andrade "Homer Simpsoned" that fight. If Calzaghe had fought Andrade, his hands would have to be amputated shortly after.

    I hate to say it but ive been watching more and more of Kessler and JCs last two bouts....and i think Calzaghe is only going to beat him by 2 or 3 rounds instead of the whitewash it would be in his prime...he has a lost a step or two imo

    He looked awful in several fights prior to Lacy also. He'll be fully prepared to max abilities for this one, we know that.

    I stick with the Blocky prediction, Calzaghe wipe out.

    yeah i know that i was kinda kidding around but i do believe JC has lost a little physically...nonetheless its true he looked like **** in the Saleem fight and not great in the Evans Ashira bout either but then again he did break his hand in that one...JC victory i say though i will be very nervous on the night of that one

    over here in the UK JC is a 1/2 favourite which surprised me a bit
