    Kessler's carries a little more weight, but that is it.

    It carries more weight as he is more settled when he throws it.

    Calzaghe isn't settled which means he can better follow it up, with genuine power slaps.

    One purpose of a jab is to set things up, which is why Calzaghe's quicker, more education and accurate jab whuch sets up vicious combinations is superior.

    People keep saying it, but I still don't see it. Kessler isn't a great counter puncher. He has a good straight right but he throws it off the jab, not as a counter. Even if he does manage to counter Calzaghe with it, Joe's stood up to bigger punchers before so I can't see him getting stopped by a single punch.

    Stop generalizing China. Or haven't I driven that home enough for you.

    That depends on his mood.

    He can counter Kessler, swarm him, outboxhim, outbrawl him - do many choices.

    Kessler can try to outbox Calzaghe at range, but when he comes to the realisation of what he is up against, he may as well throw the towel in, round one.

    I know - but u forget that Joe is in need of getting on the inside. Kessler is better on the outside.

    Im pretty sure Kessler throws the straight right just as good without the jab. He uses the jab for tactical reasons and he has been bigger than many of his foes. In the Andrade fight Kessler throws alot of straight rights without the jab.

    You are my favorite American poster mate.

    I nominated you on the "best analyst thread".#

    The solid views you have despite your handicap (being American) can be an inspiration to the other yanks.

    I give up China. You are off your rocker and more than a little biased, but you are funny:deal

    And when serious, actually know what you're on about (most of the time)

    It is frustrating nobody else realises what a great boxer the world is blessed with right now.

    Calzaghe is like the grass-court Federer of boxing.

    You have no idea of the quality and versatility he posses, he can beat practically any fighter in history at their own game.
