    Joe should just retire - no fighter and I mean no fighter in history 160-175 could beat Kessler at this stage of their career -fullstop-

    Im not disrespecting Mundine or Kessler but a fighter does not improve his chin. Mundine has improved his boxing ability but he is not the second coming as many people on here believe. The fact is that Kess (appently crippled) beat him with ease. Now since then we are to beleive that was the old Mundine and not the new amazing mundine. It either means that Mundine was a soft opponent or that Kes did not hve the power to stop him.

    Kess has beaten as good as opposition as JC recently, that is another agument entirely.

    I stand by the fact that Kes has decent power but not amazing power that JC should b scared of.

    Well, the reason why this fight is so obviously between the two best is because he basically singlehandedly cleaned out the division according the Ring.

    Mundine (no. 3)
    Beyer (no. 4)
    Siaca (no. 5)
    Andrade (no. 5)

    Meanwhile Clzaghe was fighting Ashira, Pudwill, Bika, Lacy and Manfredo.

    You make that sentence sound like Kessler beat Mundine when he was ranked 3rd. Where was Mundine actually ranked when he fought Kessler? I prepare to stand corrected of course, but i'm pretty positive he was at most, 6th.

    he might have more power, but he is half as fast and his own KD came as a result of his eagerness to end it quick against what he percieved was a hurt JC.

    Kessler will never make that kind of rookie mistake.

    Iceman!

    1st prime or 2nd prime Calzaghe can beat anyone in history at 168, not now though

    I'm a Calzaghe fan also. I'm thrilled that he's fighting Kessler. It's the biggest fight in boxing now. It unifies the division witht the absolute two best going head to head. None of the bull**** that's going on at 140/147 and heavyweight.

    I've pegged Calzaghe for a comfortable ud. But maybe it'll still be a good enough fight to warrant a rematch??

    I'm not some kind of delusional fan, I'm not even a Calzaghe fan, I just respect his talent, not even the best boxer of the last decade is immune to time -fullstop-

    JC was hurt in that fight, if you watch the exchange that ended with Mitchell going down he hurts JC badly to the body, and he looked very close to going down again, just caught him with a cracking left hook.

    Slightly early stoppage in that fight, not a bad decision really, but it was shaping up into a real stormer, Calzaghe was very impulsive and taking a lot of risks, made for a real exciting brawl. Could have done with a few more rounds.

    No he hasnt. But then again, his best opponent by about a million miles has been an average Anthony Mundine. Says it all really.
