Calzaghe is a F****** idiot...

[Greig]

OK, so Kessler destroys Beyer to become a unified champ at 168 and then asks to fight Calzaghe, only Joe has now set his sights on Bernard Hopkins, who is over 40, retired and has hinted that he may want to fight heavyweight??


Precisley when was the Welshman hit so hard that he became a F****** moron?? Kessler is money in the bank, and is a far easier fight than a 50yr old Hopkins would be... Someone help Joe get a clue.


All this is according to www.fightnews.com by the way...

The only reason to fight a semi retired Hopkins over Kessler is the cash cow...

I agree, Greig a Kessler fight would satisfy me more than any other fight out there...

To call him a fucking idiot is perhaps a little harsh though!

[Greig]

It's ok mate, I'm far far away


Seriously, the guy makes no sense to me at all.

[Greig]

He'd make more money fighting Kessler in a car park in Europe than he would fighting Hopkins at Madison Square Garden...

[Violent Demise]

Idiot is to much. Scared bitch is more like it

[Greig]

No way... Kessler is big and strong, but he's clumsy - I know I can beat him. Ooops, quoting Rocky 4 again.

Seriously Calzaghe is the best in his division by far I think, that's what makes his decision all the more baffling.

Fighting Kessler makes way more sense to me. It would unify all of the belts at SMM and to bring the belts together in this day and age is something special. You are right, the fight would be huge on its own merits. Kessler has now made a statement and Joe would be wanting to prove a point after an off day...

Fighting Hopkins at this stage is pointless. I love Hopkins, but lets face it he is semi retired. He also seems to have bulked up somewhat. Would the fight be at light heavyweight??

To be honest I think if Hopkins does come back it will only be against Maskaev. A very carefully seleced opponent. I dont see Hopkins getting in the ring with Calzaghe at all. Negotiations will invariably fail as they have done before...

Yep, Kessler is the only fight that makes any sense to me, why turn up the opportunity to become single unified champion?? I think it would be a real challenge too....

Kessler is just the best supermiddleweight out there.. Calzaghe must be shittin his pants when he watch the Beyer fight the great dane in action

[Darth_Simasu]

Nah Calzaghe could beat Kessler pretty easily. Calzaghe does best against the upright come forward boxers. Kessler is decent enough but he hasn't been in a brawl and can't fight at 100 mph - I don't think he's experienced enough at the top either.

Calzaghe looks bad against the Salem's and Bika's of this world. Fighters not in the top 5 but could easily pull of an upset due to their style of fighting.

What baffles you so much just might turn out to be a very good reason.
Except - if Calzaghe follows through on this we'll never know for sure.

[Tam Seddon]

Thats possibly the most absurd comment I've ever heard on this forum.

Here's a for making me laugh.

Man, come on, when a fighter is talking to the cameras after a fight, he is just picking out names almost off the top of his head. The reason he was mentioning Hopkins was because this wasa joint broadcast with HBO, and as he tries to boost his profile stateside, the name Hopkins carries a lot more weight than Kessler. At the end of the day, I don't see a fight with Hopkins happening, but I can definitely see a Kessler fight come off, and I believe that is what will happen. And then come the summer, he'll beat a severely arthritic Hopkins by pushing his wheelchair over

I've seen Kessler fight Beyer, Lucas and Mundine.

I would have to say judging from those three fights Calzaghe would have the hardest fight of his career against Kessler.

Kessler is a skilled fighter. Can you imagine Calzaghe wanting to go over to Australia to face Anthony Mundine? Beyer has a record of being hurt and knocked down but still I don't think anybody expected him to go in 3.

Kessler is a great fighter, probably a tougher fight than Hopkins but for less money and worldwide acclaim.

I would also love to see this fight made, as then we would have the only true undisputed world champion in boxing right now.

But it makes more sense from Calzaghe's point of view to look to Jones and Hopkins.

If they don't come off then he may fight Kessler, but I'm fairly certain it will have to take place at the MEN for Calzaghe to consider it.
