Even though Cal is world class I dont think people should talk about the Kessler fight like Cal allrdy won it.... I personal think its going helluvafight and its going to be a very close.
Could it be possible to write "if Cal beats Kess" instead of "when Cal beats Kess"
Statements like that makes some of you guys seem very arrogant just like alot of the wimps on eastside...
Thx
He's world class, who has a chance to make it to all-time p4p status, he just needs to make compromises in his future contractual deals.
Hey man, I think that as on every forum there are a percentage of people who think that either fighter will beat the other fighter easily, so they're just doing it to emphasise a point, and it isn't necassarily just Calzaghe fans either.Quote:

I agree he was let down bigtime by Warren. I remember when Mickey Duff was on the scene and along came Warren to muscle in. I think once Duff retired Warren became complacent and started dealing with jarg sanctioning bodies. its a shame calzaghe never had a manager like Duff throught his career. Duff was class Warren couldnt even carry Duffs jockstrap.Quote:

He only knocks out bums Calzaghe. The most ovverated british boxer ever!!
because all this fucking reality tv is making stars of untalented people and naive people who know fuck all about boxing think these no mark boxers are great just because theyve been on tv and plus they pull in good ratings. higher ratings more advertising cash.Quote:

He actually didn't KO Manfredo it was stopped by a poor decision!
Its time for the taxi when you regard not being able to KO Eubank as some sort of failing.
Calzaghe is a great fighter who hasn't proven himself! He fought bums up until Lacy and destroyed the next big thing. That was simply a lesson in boxing!!! He fought an extremely tricky Bika, who used his head constantly and would've given anyone trouble fighting that way and then fought another bum (to get publicity) in Manfredo!!
So we know he has got talent and now he has 4 fights to prove it!! If he beats Kessler he has beaten the only other worthy fighter at SMW (sorry Froch, you came too late). He has said that will be his last fight at SMW - I doubt that, I think there will be a fight with Taylor at SMW first. Then the winner of Winky and B-Hop and then I think a step up and fight Dawson (the best at LHW) and then you have yourself a HOF.
Calzaghe is a quality fighter who now has to put his money where his mouth is. And leave the valleys to do so!
Well said BubbleBox thats when Joe Calzaghe should get respect ;)
