Difficult to say. Joe has one big advantage, he can switch his style within a fight. That was a thing Mikkel could not in their first match. Kessler might have won even the fist fight lith a little adjustment. Really difficult to say...
The Fact that Kessler gave Calzaghe less trouble than Robin Reid/Bika should TELL anyone with a brain cell (not many in here) where Kessler is in terms of calibre. Calzaghe beats him every day of every weak. A better question would have been Calzaghe -REID 2?
Kessler = most overated european turd for the last decade. Calzhagi wins by UD as usuall after 12 rounds of slapfest. boring.... next.
calzaghe wins everytime on points. a mate of mine met joe calzaghe in a restaurant a couple of weeks ago and he asked him if he was gonna come out of retirement? joe went off on one and he will never be returning, my mate wished he never asked, good job he didnt bring up frochy.
Anyone who believes Calzaghe should still be favoured over Kessler should be shot. I see Calzaghe being perhaps the most effective boxer in history at any weight, but even I can acknowlegde Kessler would have more than an edge over him bow.
Simular to the first fight I imagine. Close win for Calzaghe over Reid. Never really got the contraversy there. You make a good point about there realtive performances against Joe however. I'm a big fan of Kessler but even I can see he's become a bit overated.
3 month from now.. Kessler! Joe probably didn`t put on a pair of gloves since he retired, and i think he would have problems to put himself up to that fight with such short notice! But if Joe made a comeback now, and they agree to fight next year i would favor Calz to win a very close fight! Kessler will need a KO to win!
