Over the past few weeks I’ve noticed an increasing number of Kessler fans posting critical comments of Joe Calzaghe in the Forum.
I understand and sympathise with your frustration that Mikkel Kessler will not be given the opportunity to box a true champion but Kessler has little to offer in contrast to the American greats.
Kessler hasn’t boxed anyone of particularly good stature, is practically unknown in the United States of America and has a small following of fans.
It is Joe Calzaghe’s objective to win over his American audience and defeat globally recognised boxers like Manfredo, Taylor and Hopkins. Once Joe Calzaghe has achieved these objectives he will then consider taking Kessler’s supermiddle weight titles. With a monolithic following of Americans and Britons the Calzaghe v Kessler fight would then gain an audience of monumental proportions but until then Kessler will have to wait.
If you wish to comment on this article please go to the forum and look for the subject, “Calzaghe snubs Kessler”.
Calzaghe will go down in my estimations if he retires without facing Kessler.

Sounds a bit hollow when you compare it with what he has to say about his ultimate goals on his very own website:
http://www.joecalzaghe.com/history.asp
"Joe’s ultimate goal is to unify all the Super Middle Weight titles and become a 2 weight world champion, only time will tell if he achieves his goals"
So now that life-long goal is no longer his goal ::**
Well - Joe, a shot at your "ultimate goal" was right there in front of you, but you didn't want it. What a load of crap
:goodpost:
If I were Kessler I'd grab the belt Joe dropped.
