    this is the same hbo that were asking calzaghe to fight kessler, then said but only for this price.

    as far as i know hbo have still not agreed to show kessler v calzaghe in america, and warren is hawking it to showtime.

    hit and run,slip and slide,but not destroy.
    joe would win,hes a cut above tarver and taylor and winky was over optimum weight.Bridge too far for Bhop.

    This sounds great.

    It means that Kessler will most likely face Hopkins in February.

    Forget about Calzaghe! He is 35 years of age and on the fall.

    It is obvious, that he will lose to the much stronger Kessler. Kessler will methodically outpunch Calzaghe.

    I find it funny, that all the British mainstream fans and Blocky think, that this will be a pure walk-over for Calzaghe.

    But then again, thats the same people that consider Bika and Ashira to be better than Mundine and Andrade, allthough THE RING MAGAZINE thinks otherwise in their ratings.

    Excellent analysis haavard with only about 45 major drawbacks.

    In the extremely unlikely event that Kessler beats Calzaghe (Joe gets a hand injury or something) Hell would freeze over before Hopkins would fight Kessler. I bet Hopkins hasnt even heard of him ? Kessler who ?

    British mainasteam fans ? Erm no. Its the danish and Kessler fans who are over-hyping Kessler, Britain/rest of the world and neutrals with any boxing knowledge at all think its Calzaghe to win.

    Ring magazine thinks otherwise ? erm....

    Dont know if anyones told you this mate, but Joe has the Ring magazine belt...not Kessler.

    Calzaghe wont accept a fight before Kessler. Thats a much harder fight than Hopkins

    Kessler a harder fight for JC than Hopkins ?

    You cant seriously think that.

    I've no idea where this Kessler bandwagon has come from. In what way is he a better fighter than ATG Hopkins ?
