    I'd say ahead but not by much. Because you have to remember that Calzaghe's resume improves also with each of those wins. Not as much as Kessler's, but it still improves relative to all other fighters.

    Of course... but for that he has to clean up 168 and 175... It would be nice if he could have at least ONE fight though.

    Can he match Joe?

    Sure.

    He'll have to keep defending his WBA belt for a few years against another dozen tomato cans and then end his career fighting a couple ATGs who have one foot in the grave.

    Since he's got a loss he'll have to avoid getting dropped by the two deathbed ATGs though. That should about square it up with Joe's "0".

    To surpass Joe he needs to move up to LHW earlier and have at least one fight with someone decent under 40 years of age.

    **** at this point the better question is will he ever fight a worthy opponent.

    After Joe took him to the playground he ain't done ****.You can't really ask the question when the man's only big win came years ago and he's in his prime.

    Joe is respectable for what he did and when I underrated him he showed he was better than I thought.Sure he's got a lot of question marks on his resume. But at this point Kessler is a myth no different than sasquatch.Meaning I'll believe it when I see it.

    He could if he starts fighting the top super middleweights soon. I mean there are so many names he can fight at 168 right now.

    Miranda-ward-taylor-froch-bute- If he can beat those guys then there's no doubt he will have a better legacy than joe calzaghe.

    will Kessler fight at all this year is the bigger question to ask

    cuz if he doesn't fight, he has no chance.

    **if he ever gets active fighting, how far up in weight do you see him going, because based on his height and reach, Kessler has similar stat's to Adamek's

    so if it ever came to that, could Kessler make it at Cruiser?

    ^ I always wondered the prospects of that, although it's very hypothetical at this point in time.

    Well.no..

    By your ******** guess, he couldnt possibly match Calzaghe

    If you set out a path for him trying to match Calzaghe's, He cant, because he has a loss. To Calzaghe. :patsch


    Nice try, But how can the best way of surpassing Calzaghe be copying him?.

    There are better ways to take the **** out of Calzaghe than this. Also when did getting dropped equall out a loss? Interesting? How many losses does Naz have on his book according to you?

    You're up early Mrs. Calzaghe but defending Joey's CV is busy work, huh? Are you already 83? :lol:

    Kessler could make some waves if he can get the fights. Calzaghe would be hard to beat.
