    This fight is 50/50 among fans...his article was a good read, but I disagree with it.

    I don't think this article was as contraversial as some people would have it and I think the author paints a very possible scenario. (although I disagree with his assertion that Joe has a questionable chin!)
    Where some of my fellow brits have developed a bit of a chip on their shoulder is the perception that their fighters are often asumed to loose any competitive matchup. (JC-Lacy,Hatton-KT,Witter-Harris,Lewis vs anyone remotely threatening).
    This often leads to spot of american bashing who depending on your opinion are either convinient targets or arrgantly dismissive of Euro fighters.


    Joe md Kessler in a contraversial match!

    It's the follow up fight Im looking forward to because it will be in the states, Calzaghe can't hide anymore if he wins.

    It was a good article, even if I just feels he has lost confidence in his fave fighter - not that I blame him. Kessler will be the new p4p king.

    A good article I thought.

    If Calzaghe somehow defies logic and wins, he has to go down as the GOAT.

    Sadly we are few who will acknowledge that..:lol:

    If he looses he will still go down as S.H.E.E.P; Super Hero Enhanced Equilibristic Puncher

    Can you think of any instance of someone at the stage of their career Calzaghe is at ever beating someone like Kessler?

    Ali against Foreman perhaps?

    Ali-Foreman is a good bet. Maybe Ali handled sauna better than Foreman - will JC handle the frost better?

    I simply call it propaganda. However, the winner of this bout is cemented as one of the P4P top elite regardless, and by that, I mean the true P4P elite that informed fans would agree on.:D

    Sorry, no aging Bernard Hopkins who at this point will never face a live LHW.:lol:

    By the way, Arce vs. Nonito Donaire is being made. Nonito is going to get KTFO, everyone's high on the Darchinyan conqueror also, won't be a big deal to me because Arce has the experience and slight style advantage, but it'll make Mijares look good for blowing him out!:D

    Kessler will win you, unobjective lunatic.

    Kessler is the favorite going in to this. Not the betting favorite, but the logical favorite. A massive one at that.
