Looks like Kessler (or his promoter) want Choc again!

    Good question that i dont have the answer to but i do know he's just fought and beaten LACY the IBF Champion and got stripped by them for not defending against the world famous robert steglitz ( who ) ,,, Calzaghe has faced and beaten all his mandatory's to my knowledge , as he has beaten two current title holders and roughly 6 former title holders ,so who did you have in mind ?

    Calzaghe fought two mandatories in his 10 years reign - two! (Veit twice) - Calzaghe/Warren has put many $$$ in WBO's account over the years - hence WBO doesn't inforce mandatories on Calzaghe - only when the would be mandatry is from Kohl (who is the only person with more weight with the WBO than Warren)

    So pulling - the "Mundine isn't fighting mandatories" card from a Calzaghe-fan is shooting yourself in the foot.

    Kessler-fans will have a better day doing it - as Kessler in two years managed what took Calzaghe 10! - fighting two mandatories - one away and unifying two titles :) (just a shame for Kessler's fans than Calzaghe managed to pull out a win, when they fought, but that's another discission :))

    nope

    Mkrtchian might have been ... Freeman Barr was mandatory for ever - never got to fight Calzaghe - then he went and lost to Mkrtchian, so Mkrtchian might have been mandatory, but I'm not sure.

    For the record I'll be going for Hamdan, just like I went for Soliman, just like I went for Green.;)

    Joe's best opponents are Kessler, Lacy and Reid, Mundine's are Kessler, Green and Ottke. Are they really that different? He has fought some good fighters as well as donkeys just like Joe has.

    yep - partly due to him turning pro very early - but then again Mundine is still fighting bums in his fight number #31... :D

    BR , Jimenez ws the WBO LAtino camp and was a manditory , you right about Mkinanadhncn ( Cant spell the name ) though and branco sobbot was a Mand , but all in all its a **** poor list and will retract my post about Calzaghe fighting mands , He fought whoever him and arren thought would get more bucks ie Brewer , Mitcheal etc . Hope you enjoyed the figt and i would vey much appreciate a link to it off any kind Aussie . Thank Josey Wales

    Blues , Calzaghe has fought better than Reid and Lacy , Despite what you think Blues Eubanks was was taining for a fight and was in good nickfor the CAlzaghe fight and would hav beaten him if he could have , he gave his all an has my respect for the effort , unlike Collins who clearly decided Calzahe wasnt worth the risk for £100,000 and promptly retired , Brewer was tough ****er also far tougher than Lacy and Reid Joe spannered Lacy and when he fought Reid his preformance that night was shocking but he still won , A best Robin Reid couldnt beat a poor Calzaghe , Byron Mitcheal had Calzage down by a flash as did Saleem but a tougher fight for Joe was Bika , Joe fights to the level & threat of his opponent thats why he TKO's Hopkins late imo , Anyway Seeing as Choc has seen off all domestic claims he can now hopefully get a wiggle on and start calling out some seros names starting with Kessler , Bute , Bika Frock ( For the common wealth would be a tidy affair ) imo as well . Like ive maintained for a few years no Mundine is class but its time he proved it to the boxing world . No more solimans, Greens etc quality fighters known world wide is the onlyway to get him where he truley has the talent to belong ...

    Kessler may be better than Mundine but he's not that out of this world better and even Mundines **** poor effort in the first fight proves it. He won rounds off the man running backwards.

    My wish is for a rematch...and for Cotto to get Ko'd :yep

    Did one Judge really score all rounds to Kessler in the fight ? due to Mundine's inactivity durning the last couple of years he needs to speed his career up if he's going to be remembred worldwide , his next choice of opponent will determine if he hs any real ambition . Crucial imo .
