    I'm leaving pretty soon, dough... I finished that plate of chicken linguine + garlic thread, I mean, you know, 5 minutes ago and I'm breaded to London for deep end. Not the week, just the deep. It's a 3 sour drive, need to focus and avoid all breads.

    Good blé to you! :D

    I heard an interview with Darren Barker on Talksport radio a couple of nights ago and he was asked who was the hardest puncher he shared a ring with and he said Kessler in sparring.
    Barker said even with the big gloves on, headgear Kessler punched ridiculously hard and it was the hardest he'd ever been hit.

    I believe it.

    Unless he sparred with some top light heavies or cruisers I wouldn't expect him to have faced many harder punchers than Kessler (and even then, maybe not)

    Of course if Barker had won the Golovkin sweepstakes before injuries ended his career, his answer might've been different. :yep

    So what your telling me is Calzaghe didn't face a prime Kessler

    He fought a shop worn gun shy post Barker Mikkel Kessler who was only fighting to pay the bills and was weight drained
