    He Will Beat Kessler On Points, Winning At Least 8 Or 9 Rounds. He Is Already At "legend" Status But For Some Reason No One Outside The Uk Can See This. And To Make It Worse I Have That Feeling That When He Beats Kessler He Will Still Not Get The Credit He Deserves. Ok I Agree He Should Have Fought Rjj And He Should Have Fought In The U.s A Long Time Ago, But Surley All You Yanks Can Look At What He Has Achived And Give Him Credit. He Has Beat Everyone Put Infornt Of Him And Im Tired Of Hearing About Calzaghe In A Career Defining Fight, That Even When He Wins He Still Dosn't Get The Credit. P.s Enzo Is Up There With Manny And Freddie.

    Joe doesn't give a ****, neither should you. The yanks can say what they want, they don't deserve to see Joe over there. But we'll take the decent HBO TV money... :rofl

    How the **** is he a ****ing Legend?

    Ali is a legend. Hagler is a legend. If Calzaghe loses this one, no-one will know who the **** he was in 20 years, and quite right.

    I think Joe is fantastic, but he is not a legend. He has all the talent, and is the best super middleweight around. He is also, in my opinion one of the top p4p guys.
    To be a legend though, he would need a higher level of stock on his record than he currently has. Beating the likes of Tocker Pudwell or Peter Manfredo is not the stuff legends are made from. Thrashing Lacy and (hopefully) beating Kessler is a step in the right direction, but he should have been doing this kind of thing years ago.

    Agreed, Calzaghe's no legend (yet); just a VERY VERY good champion; and oh yeah, he decisions Kessler too. Who do we see next - winner Taylor-Pavlik II, B-Hops or Winky Wright?

    Really? Win or lose I can't wait until all the Joe Calzaghe huggers STFU. Welcome to Joe's first real fight. I hope for your sake he has proper judges and doesn't try that slapping **** to end the fight early.

    People called Ali a slapper aswel years ago.Don't really see a galaxy of starts on his resume.Gods knows what you'd call Mayweather,a tapper maybe.

    Joe C, the master of slapboxing (just kidding) does it again. The guy is for real, and so is Kessler, just not "Calzaghe for real." Very brisk action...enjoyable watch; next Saturday should be even better...I think we may see a KO (for Mosley).

    Calzaghe certainly will silence most skeptics after this victory over Kessler.

    Is it Hopkins next? Hopkins last fight was fight was as disgusting as gay porn. ****ing awful, terrible, unbearable fight against Wright! Hopkins fights against Taylor were ****ing dreadfully bad. Hopkins should probably just retire, he is just so ****ing boring and lame.He throws about 10 punches a round.

    Yes, I do not want to see that fight. Joe C apparently wants it; to add a trinket on his now considerable list of accomplishments. It's a no-win for him in my opinion - he wins, he beat a past-prime Hopkins, he loses, he gets exposed, and last but not least, if he wins, there is almost no way that it will be aesthetically-appealing. Can't say it's the money, because Joe C can get mad money fighting in Wales against the next winner on the Contender or me for that matter.
