Calzaghe vs. Kessler who wins?

Kessler is a great fighter and futre to 10p4p no doubt.

I hope he fights a name after his next bout and in America.

Jones only made 5 defenses, although he beat Toney for the title. Saying that, Toney was DRAINED and didn't beat another prime opponent for NINE years (yes he didn't beat anyone until Jirov).

Calzaghe has made loads of defences even though they have been against mainly pony opposition.

Jones is a better fighter but Calzaghe is a better Suppermiddleweight

There has never been a better fighter than a 168 Roy Jones.

This is a strange one because the 168lbs version of Roy Jones is the greatest boxer I have seen in my lifetime but if I was to do a table of the greatest SMW of all time I think I would have to place Calzaghe on top due to the fact he stayed there most of his career and made so many defences of his (WBO i know) title, whereas Jones' spell at the weight was relatively short. Also Sven must get an honourable mention!

Back to the original point though. I didn't vote on this poll originally but I would have voted Kessler and been wrong so I've voted him anyway!

Roy looked excellant at 168 based on the Toney win alone because the rest of the cops and robbers he fought were C-Level. I still think if Roy and Toney had fought at 175 the fight could have been a lot different. Toney had a drip atatched to him when he slept the night before the fight because he was dangerously weight drained. Toney was not even on the level below his best the night he fought Roy, he was weak as a kitten.
