Kess is sounding more & more determined & motivated with each passing day.

Can't wait.

back i really like Kessler Wacko he isn't scared he is a great champion has a great attitude i really think this will be the dawning of a new dominant champion at Supermiddleweight.

Cmon guys lets not be getting ahead of ourselves here. Kessler is indeed making all the right noises, and indeed Calzaghe is not making the right noises (see "Calzaghe drops quit hint" thread) but I still think that Kessler has really never faced someone with the quality, 12-round workrate and awkward style that Calzaghe has.

I think that Kessler will show a lot of guts, determination and come-forward aggressiveness in Cardiff come November 3, but I think that even a creditable performance for him will leave him in a good position to dominate the division when Calzaghe moves on to light-heavweight or retirement.

I see Kessler stopping Calzaghe early. A result that will shock the boxing world.

Joe has bad hands and ain't getting any younger but he will still outland Kessler for a UD though I have no doubt.

All I can say is that its about time the supermiddle division got a matchup like this! It reminds me of when Toney defended against Jones. But we all know what happened then, the less known younger up and coming fighter taught the more experienced bigger name (at that time) a real boxing lesson like hes never had since. All im saying is dont be surprised if there is a new supermiddleweight KING come november 3rd

If anybody beats Joe I hope it's Kessler, he is great for the sport.

Yeah I agree he is great for the sport but i would like to see Calzaghe win and move upto light heavy and fight Hopkins. Ive been waiting for that fight for years now.

There will be no shock








































But yes Kess will win

Yes i want this result but then you did pick JT over Pavlik lol

Seen some Kessler on TV he looks ready for Calzaghe and I have never seen him move this quick and still with pin point precision and power shots.

Anyway I know as a Kessler fan I am biased so don´t take my word for it but see the 3. November.

I am beginning to think he even could take it on points .

I'm totally 50/50 with this fight. I really don't mind who wins.
If i had to pick i guess id go with Calzaghe as iv followed him a lot longer than iv followed Kessler.


I also feel that the point needs to be raised:
Having watched many of his fights recently, iv got to say, i think Joe is one of the fittest fighters ever to step into a boxing ring and has marvellous stamina.

Hopefully he will I want Joe to get KNFO

aint guna happen

calzaghe will beat that ass for 12 rounds.

be slightly less one sided than the lacy fight.....only slightly
