    The problem with Calzaghe was that Kessler had to call that mother****er out for 3 years, before JC stepped up to the plate - and now he will get KTFO in an embarrassing way.

    Almost not even closely remotely kidding you not.

    These are the embarassing, cringeworthy and pathetic posts that I was talking about. Some people really have no class...or clue.

    I think Hopkins would fight him if he got 60-40 and fought him in the america, I think its a fair offer since Hopkins is a known name and generates more ppv sales. Calzaghe cant even get people to watch him on ppv, half my friends never even heard of him.

    Kessler has always been a little reluctant. Read this article for example, Kessler has just been bribed into it really.

    GREAT POST!!!

    Boy, I sure am glad that there's somebody out there with "Flawless Boxing Logic".

    China Hand Joe,

    Your post backs up what I've been saying for years. The GREATEST Pound for Pound fighter of all time is....

    GERRY COONEY!!!

    Anybody DARE to dispute this undeniable fact???

    Gerry Cooney defeated Charlie Polite who defeated Eddie Owens who defeated Rafael Guitierrez who defeated Memo Ayon who dismantled the commonly annointed G.O.A.T., none other than Sugar Ray Robinson,

    And so, it is only logical to assume that the greatest pound for pound fighter of all time is NOT SRR but in fact, Gerry Cooney.

    Don't you agree, China Hand Joe???

    I don't quite agree mate.

    You said the greatest P4P fighter. Greatness is dependant on names. So Robinson is higher than Calzaghe.

    Best P4P is different. This is where Calzaghe places highly, it has nothing to do with resumes.

    He simply knew that there aren't many fighters like JC to fight, so why not get paid doing it.

    There is also a 2005 article in existance. Kessler knew he wasn't ready back then.

    every knowlegable fans knows that styles make fights...I give all credit to Pavlik, but because Taylor loss does not discresit Hopkins....Taylor has the style to beat Bernard, bernard mighty have the style to beat Pavlik...that is how boxing works...

    I have seen Kessler fight but ain't convinced he'd the real deal. I just hope he puts in a good show against JC....and loses of course!
