    Calzaghe wins quite comfortably! 120-108 on all cards.

    Look at Kessler's fight with Andrade, Kessler kept him honest all through the fight and it was quite an easy fight in the end.

    For that to happen Calzaghe should run out of gas ... he just doesn't do that. Calzaghe has a great stamina and could run circles around Andrade for 20 rounds if he had to.

    Look at Kessler-Andrade - Andrade was also tired in round 12 - he came forward, but the power was not in his punches anymore.

    Calzaghe by a hudge UD.

    Andrade is a great fighter - really got heart and a style that's always intertaning - but he simply doesn't have the skills for Calzaghe - not that big a deal - atm nobody has the skills for Calzaghe... best bid is still Kessler in a rematch and I wouldn't be putting too much money on that...

    i agree calzaghe wins convincingly and andrade loses to all fighters with quick hands and feet and decent defence eg calzaghe,mundine,kessler

    on another note a fight i would love to see is andrade v danny green

    Well in all fairness - Calzaghe wasn't up 11-0 against Kessler :)

    But to answer the question - not many - but Kessler does it too - Against Thobela and Andrade he also came out swinging for the last round although up 11-0 - according to himself to give the spectators a good show :)

    Against Mundine he didn't do it that much - but that was mainly due to stamina-problems due to his long break from training prior to the fight.

    pfft or it could be from what he mentioned in the ring in the post fight interview that Mundine was very hard to catch and tired him out

    Kessler couldn't do roadwork for 6 weeks up to the fight - he had 30 rounds of light sparring ... Take a look at Kessler's stamina in the Andrade-fight and compare to the Mundine-fight and you'll see the differense.

    It might be hard chasing Mundine for 12 rounds - but not as hard as keeping Andrade of for 12 rounds and Kessler had enough air to come out swinging in the 12th round.

    But if Mundine ever grows the balls to fight a live opponent again, then we might get that question answered :)

    Calzaghe didn't get worn down by all the shots Reid hit him with, he isn't getting worn down by Andrade. His jab would be snapping Andrades head back all night, just like Lacy.

    Well it was no segret that Kessler hurt his back badly and that he couldn't do any roadwork in the 6 weeks before the fight because of backpains. He didn't spare in Denmark before going downunder to spare with Soliman - which was light sparing - partly because of Kessler's back partly because you don't do hard sparing the week upto a fight.
