    he fought both calzaghe and ward and lost
    which belt that he won do you think elevates him above either?

    So you are saying that every fighter below top 5 p4p are gatekeepers?

    :shock:

    So what?!

    Kessler is a 3-time champ. He's the best name on Ward's resume and he's arguably Calzaghe's best win. He's someone that other great fighters are measured against. Thats not a ****ing gatekeeper. If you want a good example of a gatekeeper look at someone like Monte Barrett's career.

    Currently Kessler.

    Back in 2007, air tight. A bit more competitive than Calzaghe vs. Kessler, and the scoring might depend on location. (US or Denmark)

    Earlier than that, Hopkins UD.
