    hey Joe aint the cleanest fighter either, his wild combos sometimes have a habit of landing clean on the back of his opponents head.

    The reason why Bernard can control a fight is his ability to lunge in with punches immediately clinching afterwards. If Joe can or wants to combat this then the fight as a specticle wont be as ugly as i think i will.

    I dont think it is aye.

    But if Warren is readin ESB like he has in the past :lol: he'd be stupid not to make the fight cause there is so much demand for it.

    Remember when ESB got warned from Warrens officials about making up stories, I think TCW had something to do with this :lol::lol:

    well he is off to a bad start...

    37 years old fat middleweight - William Joppy - even for a voluntary defense isn't not good. Only good thing to be said about Joppy is that he is a known opponent in the US - but way way over the hill :(

    Oh no I was not defending Deram, I thought he was quoting Kessler
    ( my bad ) Deram is a chicken who disapered when Kessler lost, I have no respecth for that. If you are a true fan you'll be there all the time,
    good or bad. Kessler will be back stronger than ever, he has somthing to proof, and he will :bbb :good

    Yep - in 2005-6 - Kessler's first defense after taking the title and defending it down under against mandatory Mundine. Joppy was dropped because people didn't think he was good enough - now he is two years older - 38...

    As for who I'd like to see him face - well a real SMW from IBF's top15... (excl. Savania & Haussler)

    Brähmer, Andrade, Miranda, Lacy or A. Green. - But I could also accept Tsypko, Mendy, Chanet, Hanshaw, Mkrtchian (guess the announcer would veto him though), Zuniga or Larsen. I think there is better opponents out there - fights that could be made.

    Didn't exspect Kessler yet - would be some voluntary defense though... :)

    Well Calzaghe isn't exactly known for keeping a high level of opponents ... opponents in 2004: Mkrtchian and Salem ... names like Ashira and Manfredo also jumps out at you ... well Joppy anno 2003/4 would beat all of those, so Joppy would have been a step up at that time ;)

    I'd still take Joppy (2003/4) over Mkrtchian - although I agree it would be a close contest.
