i think calzaghe would be stupid to go there. he would need to kill him to win, he aint go tthe power to score a KO anymore anmd wont get the decision. Kessler has done EVERY thign they can to get the fight on thier terms to get the win... people have slated joe, but if he does go there it would be silly imo

Do you not agree ;D
Agreed with Jangeorg i used to think you was silly when you said Kessler could beat Calzaghe but after watching Kessler more and more the more i realize that Kessler will give Calzaghe bad problems he has good skills quick hands and good workrate and as far as i know good chin and with Calzaghes bad hands i would give Kessler the edge i mean if Calzaghe broke his hands hardly landing anything against Manfredo what will happen against Kessler is the question ??Quote:

cool , calzaghe will win but at least he is finally fighting someone that we want
This will be a true test of how good joe calzaghe really is, to most people.
I like joe but I think people will just call kessler a hyped up nobody if he gets beat which I think he will and people will go back to bashing cal as someone who fights bums. Altho like the rest of the posters I'll actually believe this is happening when I see the two in the ring
I on the other hand don't agree. The more I have seen Calzaghe fight the more I think his workrate will give Kessler trouble, so if it goes the distance I am afraid that Calzaghw will take the victory on points, but I also think that Kessler has a good change on a TKO, I'm confident that Calzaghw cant take the power of Kessler combos if Kessler is able to hit him with them, and on the psychological level I will give the edge to Kessler I am not sure that Calzaghe really want to fight Kessler. But as it has turned out Kessler looks like the only choice for a opponent now. Unless Warren pulls a new Manfredo on the Calzaghe fans. An yes I will be there as well. IF IT HAPPENS.Quote:

However, it seems the Mogens Palle is now trying to throw obstacles in the way. Frank says they've accepted the offer, surely that is end of story. But Palle is now saying there are a lot of things to iron out. If it isn't one promoter it's the other. Personally I'd love a trip to Copanhagen to see the fight, but if it's made i'd like to see them insist on an impartial international row of judges and referee, neither from Denmark or Britain. After the farce in the first Cunningham/Wlodarczyk fights just to name one, it has to be 100% transparent.
Either way....I have an agreement with friends that wherever it would be held, we're going. And I've heard good things about Copanhagen as a party city, even if it is quite expensive.
Well if the titles is on the line the judges are appointed by the boxing federations. So I don´t think it will be a big problem. But one thing is for sure, there will allways be an home advantage. I hate to see a good fight spoiled by crooked judges.
