I wouldn't put him in top3 right now... I have Mayweather, Pacquiao and Hatton in top3 - but I'll squezze him in on a top5 along with Taylor. But top5 p4p is also pretty impressive A win over Kessler would proberbly push Pacquiao down and Calzaghe up. If Kessler wins He'll move up to around 5 (from his current position around 15-20)
[What if, like I've been saying all along, that Kessler's style is even easier for Calzaghe to fight against than Lacy's was..? What if observations that Kessler's euro style isn't so dissimilar to Veit that Calzaghe will have no issues dominating him?] This content is protected
Hey china, I never quite imagined your interpretation of the phrophet's phub image would be so amiable. How many deaththreats ? Any fatwa. Na you picked a respectful image of him. They could live with it. You are gutsy, Respect. You are the MAN..... Watch out for those journalists and university people back in the uk, though. They may boycott ESB in the future..
Not automatically no. He would have to build on his success. Most people here, seem very keen on a rematch between the two, if it's a close fight. So, if he was to beat Calzaghe by a clse margin and beat him again in Denmark, then he would be a top 5 p4p. Afterwards he can take on the best two available at 168. Maybe Froch and Bute. If/when he beats them, he could move up to 175 to test the waters there.
I have recieved 3 death threats (2 serious, 1 tongue in cheek) for my Robin Reid avatar, if that is what you are talking about.
Somehow I don't really care so much who wins. I just want it done. To long foreplay this time. Kessler is the logical pick. But I think he will be ignored by all american boxers, save RJJ and get as much letters in the press as he did in the uk pre calzaghe's suden change of mind and praise of Mikkels qualities. Then if he (BOX),beats RJJ, Pavlik, Taylor and Hopkins then maybe.
Bull****......you are kidding me ? Thats more than the jesusavatar ? I bet old moe could beat it, even in here. Moe rules ESB..
When Kessler beats Calzaghe it will not change much other than he has removed the ring champ - and has cemented himself as the best 168. He has solomnly taken out all the top competition. I can only imagine that Bute remains - and thereby the IBF belt, I reckon. After Bute - Mundine deserves his rematch. Then he should move up and clean up that division as well.
Kessler and Joe's age have got me worried for the first time about the result of a Joe Calzaghe fight. I am managing about 2 hours sleep a night at the moment.
I noticed that...and got a little worried...especially when you started to compensate for the lack of sleep by prefering another avatar...
well if (i say if i feel calzaghe has his number butstill if) kessler loses calzaghe will retire with the longest reaining champion. unbeaten beat the best super middles...possible the best super middlewieght ever. and kessler will take his place as top dog
