No.

No Kessler does not have more hand speed than Calzaghe. But that won't stop him from knocking out Joe

I don't think Kessler has firepower to KO Calzaghe but i do think Kessler will win by decision because Calzaghe is getting old and his hands have been getting even worse he hardly landed anything solid on Manfredo and broke his hands i see a decision win for Kessler its about time a new champion took over from Calzaghe.

I couldn't really careless what he has to say all i know is i've seen plenty of Kessler and Calzaghe fights and he isn't faster than Calzaghe in combos or in single punches simple as.

I've heard alot of sparring stories or rumors fact of matter is just watch both fighters and you can clearly see Kessler isn't faster than Calzaghe.

People often forget, that he doesnt change his gameplan totally.. he adjust just a little bit, according to whom he fights..

lets take an example beyer vs andrade..

versus beyer he relied a lot on strength, his training was designed as such, he knew he would be stronger.. that made mikkel a little more stiff, but didnt matter, as his speed was better then beyers anyways, so he relied more on standing infront of beyer, just waiting for the opportunity..

andrade is a total different story, andrade was one tough sob, they knew he would keep coming, the gameplan changes, so does kesslers training.. and accordingly kesslers movement became more fluid, and instead of moving backwards planting the backfoot ready to counter, he used a lot more side movement, getting andrade of balance and countering him all the time.. i

kessler has previous stated, that for a match against joe, he will prepare with training based on gaining speed and better movement.. so as the plan changed from beyer to andrade, so will the gameplan against joe.

In the flurry dept it's all Calzaghe.
Who has overall faster hand speed?
My eye does not have a digital radar that gives me a read about how fast these mens jabs, hooks, crosses and right hands are moving but I will say they both have decent hand speed.
Kessler will fair far better than Lacy or Manfredo did, That much I know for sure. LMAO
It should be an interesting fight. As long as Calzlappies fragile hands hold up he should win a decision over Kessler.

Speed wont bother kessler, he fought mundine and dealt with his speed well. And mundine is alot quicker than calzaghe

If you by into the theory that a great jab can neutralize speed, Kessler should have a pretty good chance. I'm not sure Joe has ever been in with a guy whose jab is as fast and strong as Kesslers.

Not that I'm picking Kessler...yet. I'm just getting a strange, gut feeling, that Kessler can pull this one out.

I would say Kessler also , but Im pretty biased here . Apart from that I still believe Kessler will have a rough time with the workrate of Calzaghe. I simply cant see him winning on points in Cardiff. Had it been in Copenhagen then maybe.

But I think Kessler will rely on his power and try to stop Calzaghe.

Any takes if the speed is the way to go against Calzaghe ?

Calzaghe has the fastest hands at SM easy...its not just his hand speed that makes Joe though it his ability to put togethor stupid combos...he will just throw in the 11hit combo step off and then come back for more...If you wanna slug it out with him hell stand there and slug it out...I mean was going toe to toe with jeff lacy once or twice.

He was to much speed and to much boxing skill for Kessler UD for Joe this fight is

Calzaghe does very little sparring, and the sparring he does do is all with fighters from within his dads camp like enzo mac, bradley price etc. so theres no way he coulda sparred joe as a pro.

Who the fuck is Peter Haymer?
