How would you feel if JC dominates/hurts MK so much that MK is pulled out/quits?

Pretty bad. Calzaghe detractors will have even more ammunition when they make their case that he has only fought tomato cans and sup-par opposition.

They won't attribute the stoppage to Calzaghe's boxing ability, but rather, Kessler's weakness. It's Roy Jones Jr syndome all over again with people needing to see him lose and lose badly before they can feel better about their mediocre lives and lack of personal achievement.

 

I'd be sad for Kessler who is a decent guy, but if he just isn't up to the standard required and this happens, he doesn't have the heart to rise to the very top. The guts Lacy showed was fantastic, despite getting a pasting round after round - similar to the Brewer fight. The yank boxers seem to stick around even though they're chasing a pretty lost caused, they still want to be standing at the final bell. This is why a lot of Joe's detractors are from the US. A lot of the TKOs have come where boxers have pretty much shut up shop.

If your Kessler scenario happens, Calzaghe will get lots of credit from reasonable people. To make a boxer quit, is pretty telling, hurtful. But his win will be diminished by some who will say that he fought Kessler to avoid Pavlik.

Kessler - on the other hand, may come again... but will forever be remembered as the 'guy who quit against Calzaghe'

 

It's not possible to happen, never ever...so no one can make up his mind about it because it's impossible...

 

i WOULD feel terrible!
but i WONT happen!

 

One word: Amazed!

 

I certainly cant see kessler quitting or pulling out. If that happens? It will speak high volumes about Cal.

I think that Lacy took a beating and Kessler would be likely to do the same, if Calzaghe has that much advantage.

We shall see soon enough:good

 

This is one of the stupidest hypotheticals I've read yet on ESB regarding this fight.

 

Surprised. Neither guy is a huge hitter but both have top handspeed. I just think Calzaghe throws his hands out there more often which is why I have him winning this fight by UD.
