The Calzaghe - Kessler fight to me is one of those fights that even the loser came out well in. Kessler is the real-deal even though he lost to a really special champion. He also showed alot of class. I will be cheering him on in future fights.
I think a lot of this Kessler-respect is more to do with making Joe Calzaghe's win look better than it is sincere. Kessler was a very good fighter, no.2 in the division, NOT ATG not HOF not even truly great in all honesty. He's probably the 4th best win of Calzage's career after 1. Lacy 2. Eubank 3. reid 4, Kessler
HATTERS IF he was AMErican YOu guy WOuld be saying he's NUmber 1 P4P and KESSLER IS TAT GOOD HE would ZWHipe the FLoor with ANY other 168 lber.
