    What makes this the most relevant fight of all time is the fact it is taking place at a weight where both fighters are at there best. Leonard - Duran has nothing on this. Kessler and Calzaghe are so much better at SMW than Duran was at WW.


    Calzaghe - Kessler is the greatest of all time facing his only ever challenge. The only downside is the viewing figures and money involved. Unimportant, that is to do with the clueless fans anyway.

    CHJ if you think that this is the fight of the century period 1907-2007, as i believe may be assumed from your post, then you are truly a lost soul.

    It isn't the greatest fight because of Americans, mainstream fans. But it is the most significant, relevant fight of all time.

    This fight is the Velvet Underground, Ali - Foreman, Duran - Leonard they are the Monkees.

    this is wrong also, this fight does mean something, because it is the two best fighters in a division squaring off, but it is not the fight of the century by any measure.

    Name a more relevant fight then mate, not one just based on the fame of the two fighters.

    Hatton vs Mayweather is far more significant for starters, as it's two top 5 P4P fuigthers vying for the #1 spot. That's the fight I want to see, and I believe it will be a less tactical affair than Calzaghe-Kessler.

    I too live in Canada, and nobody knows who either of these guys are. I mean literally nobody. Perhaps it's a Quebec thing, as you guys have Bute who will hopefully step up sometime in the next 5 years against one of these 2.

    The fight in itself will be significant to see witch one of these Euro bums is the better of the two but at the end of the day there just two pretty good fighters in a Shitty division.

    Calzaghe is superior to Ali and Kessler to Frazier, try again. Ali and Fraizer are just massive, famous names.

    3 modern belts are worth more than the one back then, especially given the way Calzaghe and Kessler at through the competition. The worthless RING belt is also on the line. Calzaghe and Kessler, undefeated too. You have no argument.

    It is logically impossible for a fight to have been more relevant, they can only possibly have bigger names involved.

    Calzaghe - Kessler has every single ingredient imaginable for a relavent boxing match.

    Unification
    Undefeated
    Two dominant fighters
    Both close to their career peak
    The best fighter of all time is involved
    His only challenge
    RING belt
    defines a weight class

    There can be equal bouts, but nothing that surpasses it. Only Calzaghe vs Jones would have been better.

    There is absolutely nothing missing. This fight could be more significant in pure boxing terms. Forget Ali's out of ring fame. He has nothing on Calzaghe in reality. It is safe to assume such a big name as Ali has had his skills blown out of proportion and a Welshman like Calzaghe is criminally under appreciated.
