    Good point. If Kessler wins, there would be no reason for Kessler to stay at SMW and defend his title against off brand fighters from the contender like other title holders do.

    Damn you yanks still can't stand the fact that a valley boy has destroyed your best fighters. You're now hoping that a half english guy will beat an ageing Calzaghe and then step up in weight and lose to one of your own. Seriously get over it.

    If Kessler wins a rematch would be fun.

    Would just like to say that in no way was it a rant on you personally, just general annoyance at ignorant Kessler fans (satirycon/the-best etc...)

    That is dependant on whether there is any controversy, excitment value of the fight and competetiveness.

    Now you're making assumptions. You're doing a good job of displaying your paranoia when it comes to Calzaghe. My desire for Kessler to win has nothing to do with Calzaghe beating Lacy(by the way, Lacy was never one of our best fighters, just goes to show your ignorance of US boxing). I like Kessler as a fighter and want to see him do well.

    Marvin Hagler , Sugar Ray Leonard AND James Toney all said that Jeff Lacy deserved to be top5 PvP in the world in the months leading up to the Calzaghe fight. All the bookies had him there. Hell, 80% of the people on this forum thought he was....then he got owned.

    Now suddenly its like - "YEAH I KNEW CALZAGHE WAS GONNA BEAT HIM BLOODY HYPE JOB LACY"

    Get real, fact that he got outclassed by the best super-middle ever dont mean Lacy aint one of your best fighters.

    Ha, despite what Marvin Hagler, James Toney, and Sugar Ray Leonard said(SRL also said Manfredo could beat Calzaghe), Lacy was never even in the top ten p4p , and he was never one of our best fighters. Also, I never said he was a hype job(you guys need to stop putting words in my mouth). It was a good win for Calzaghe. I only said Lacy wasn't one of our best fighters. The US is full of very talented fighters. Even though Lacy is a good fighter, he was never good enough to be one of our top fighters.

    I think Kessler should take an easy fight after JC so that he can regain his confidence after the first loss and pasting of his career. You have to think that he'll be a little shell-shocked when that happens. I don't know...maybe he should fight someone easy, like, say...Jeff Lacy.

    LOL!!!!
