    If this fight is going to take place in Britain, as the latest rumors tell us, and Kessler goes on to win the fight. Would it then be fair to say that Kessler is a bigger champ than Calzaghe ever was? Having won against the top 2 guys at 168 (Rankingwise) and doing so in there own backyard. Plus being unified champion?

    Or does Calzaghes long regime as champion and number 1 rank higher?

    Kessler still has alot to prove before surpassing JC's achievements. Beating him would not be enough. Longevity counts for alot.

    Also, the manner in which he wins, if he wins, would go a long way into determining where he is relative to a prime JC.

    True. As big an "if" as those threads speculating about JC's status IF he beats Kessler.

    If Calzaghe beats Kessler then he must be rated top three pound for pound at least.

    1. Longest reigning world champion.

    2. Has not lost.

    3. High KO percentage.

    4. Would have defeated two very highly rated other champions at his weight.

    5. Would have held WBO, IBF, WBA and WBC and Ring belts in one division.

    6. Very skilled champion, not a lucky puncher.

    :happy

    He should be top 3 in any half reasonable persons list already. Beating Kessler will just further cement Joe's status as the best fighter of his generation.
