    I like Kessler a lot, but I don't think his fans (and the JC haters) are ready for the speed they're going to see. Can't wait for the fight!

    How come you cant support kessler, without beeing accused to be a Calzaghe
    hater?. I like both, but Kessler is my favorit....

    Jeff Lacy still made Joe work for it though, landed some bombs here and there as well. The fight was a brutal one sided beating, but it was entertaining because Lacy kept making Joe work for it at his best effort. In that regard it's different than Mayweather/Gatti, because Gatti couldn't do anything and Floyd effortlessly blasted him... Joe had to stay on his feet and utilise his best tactics to keep that type of shutout going. I still believe Lacy was a class opponent.

    Kessler/Calzaghe is just going to be a brutal, one sided beatdown that'll get stopped before 10, give it a few rounds and Kessler will be so tentative and absolutley freeze at the assault, further opening himself up to be blasted on the inside.

    I also believe Joe can stun Kessler all around the ring, he did so to Lacy and there is no way Kessler has better punch resistance.

    I like both also, but this is a horrible styles matchup for MK.

    when kessler have won J.c WBO title,i would like him to fight Pavlik.
    IF he lose to j.c,and it´s a close decision,a rematch would be fine too...
    but anyway,kessler is young and i think he´s got a long career in front off him.Bute should maybe altso have a shot at a title fight.

    If he wins:

    Hopkins or Taylor.
    I don't want to see him against Dawson.
