    From memory Ward won more rounds but fought a worse version of Kessler, i rate Calzaghe's victory higher.

    Probably Ward but he also fought a worse version of Kessler and did a lot of headbutting and a lot of holding, overall I rate Calzaghe's victory higher.

    I scored Ward vs Kessler a long time ago and was a little generous to Kessler

    I think I had Kessler win 3 rounds in both fights or maybe just 2 vs Ward

    I think the rounds Kessler won vs Calzaghe he landed more meaningful blows and won them decisively and vs Ward I gave him a few rounds where Ward backed up and just was inactive

    the rounds I gave to Kessler would probably be very disagreed with on here

    I'd be hard pressed to name you a round that Kessler was even in against Ward.

    He won a couple off Calzaghe.

    I scored Calzaghe-Kessler something like 116-112 or 115-113

    don't think Kessler even won a round against ward

    He won a few more against Calzaghe.....allegedly with a broken/injured hand.

    I had Kessler winning 3 rounds against Joe, and 1 against Ward if I remember correctly, but it must remembered that Kessler fought 12 full rounds against Joe, and only 10 full rounds against Ward


    :lol: even though Kessler said himself after the fight the hand wasn't a problem? :good You're a funny guy Jeff

    I don't believe much Kessler says. Hopefully, you remember that conversation.

    The man drove himself to a press conference to announce his double vision, management and a cameraman in tow. No way does any remotely intelligent person get in a car driven by a man with double vision.

    I doubt he was injured when he fought either man and will use "allegedly" whenever attributing a statement to him.

    He won more rounds against Calzaghe this despite suffering from a hand injury to be fair it was probably a combination of his injury and Calzaghe stepping it up that caused him to lose after looking good at the start.

    Hard to say, I mean there's a big difference between having the vision to drive, and being in there when someone is throwing punches at you. In all honesty, I agree with everything you said, I only note that you mentioned the broken hand against Calzaghe, but didn't mention the injured eye against Ward. I wouldn't bring up the hand injury to discredit Joe, and I wouldn't bring up the eye injury to discredit Ward. Both guys beat Kessler, both guys deserve credit
