    What are the likely options for Joe? Stick around at 168 and fight the winner of the Pavlik/Taylor bout? Fight old man Bernard Hopkins - maybe Winky Wright......Or move up to 175 and fight Chad Dawson?

    Hopkins and then retire wouldn't be a bad way to end a career after Kessler and Lacy?

    Calzaghe will DECIMATE Kessler??? I'm favoring JC to win by decision in a competitive fight, perhaps 8-4. He will NOT decimate Kessler. I don't think Hopkins wants any part of either JC or Kessler at this point in his career.

    Calzaghe will decimate Kessler. Joe is moon-and-stars above Kessler talent wise it's not even negotiable.

    I expect Calzaghe to psychologically and phsyically damage Kessler behind fighting repair.

    How many fights of both have you seen? What do you base this on? Calzaghe's decimation of third rate bums?

    I think this will be a very good, solid fight. Kessler is not some bum, and will likely not be decimated like he is some bum. He has some very good wins while Joe is still living off Eubanks and Lacy.

    I have been a Joe C fan longer then I have even known aboput Kessler. But if you see Kessler fight, you'd know this will be anything but a decimation for either.

    Agreed. I don't think people realize how good Kessler is. I think it will be a good fight. Personally, I'm going with Kessler in this one.

    I have also seen Kessler fight 4 times,plenty enough to witness his mechanical,but good approach. Kessler is a talented one-trick-pony,with an excellent jab and straight-right - hardly in the category of Joe Calzaghe.

    Joe Calzaghe does everything Kessler does(better) and more - minus the jab.

    Calzaghe will definitley decimate this guy, level him after 10 brutal rounds of punishment. Maybe less.

    Kessler gets blasted.

    :lol:

    Good comeback tomatos, but because someone is not willing to bet that much, doesn't mean their not confident...

    I do question someone's knowledge through if they think Calzaghe is going to blast out Kessler... Based on what? Lacy? Eubank? Kessler's size and strength? His jab? Calzaghe's expierence against guys with Kessler style and size?

    :huh

    Anyone who says Kessler beats Calzaghe is telling a bad lie. Not to mention, I seriously doubt anyone throws 10,000$ on an opponent who simply cannot win, nice laugh.:yep

    I've got 500$ on this fight with a poster on here, will be dropping thousands on my betting site.
