    Yeah, Calzaghe was able to adjust, and had more versatility than Kessler. However, I feel you are making it sound more calculated from Calzaghe than I believe the case was. I wouldn't go as far as it was acts of desperation, but Calzaghe was very worried and it just worked for him. He was the most experienced and so was his team, and I guess it helped him in front of his crowd(though that did put pressure on him as well).

    Yeah. There is a good chance of that, but on the other hand, I think that Calzaghe would have had the mental advantage, that he didn´t have before the Cardiff match.

    Again Calzaghe was very worried to face Kessler, and was very uncertain he could win. I think his father helped quite a bit there(prior to the match).

    I think Kessler did a great job against Calzaghe in Wales...

    And if he got the rematch he deserved in Denmark I'm sure Kessler would do even better.

    I really hope Kessler proves to most of you that he's still a great fighter.

    Calzaghe would not fight Kessler again because he knew Kessler could do better.
    Joe says Kessler was the best fighter he'd ever been in the ring with.

    show some respect please.

    Kessler that fought Calzaghe > now days Kessler. Green was right that Kessler was ruined by Calzaghe and is a shell of what he was in the past. Unfortunately for Green, that is still way more then he can handle.

    Was Allan Green ever somewhere near the level of Joe Calzaghe?

    Calzaghe is just a league above Kessler, why can't some people see that?

    A better version was to be stopped if the stupid referee had not called a break and taken a point deduction from Joe when Mikkel was seriously hurt with a punch to the mid section.

    Jokes aside.. Do you really think that you could put the CURRENT Calzaghe into a 8 week training camp, and then having him beating the current Kessler?

    It is a joke to think that you can put the CURRENT Joe in a 8 week training camp. That's what I say that the Holy Ghost has really given a word to Evander, Vitali will retire and possibly even Wladimir and Evander is gonna fight somebody and then...
