Kessler Vs Calzaghe Poll Who Will Win

[killersheep]

I am going with Kessler by decision. Calzaghe struggled with Bika and Evans Ashira. Mikkel will destroy him. I know people will bring up the lacy fight but lacy had a bodybuilder physique and that kind of physique doesnot neccesariliy mean unbelievable power but Kessler can bang and box. Should be a great fight, unless Calzage pretends to injure 'injures' his hand again.

You're kidding. Lacy brought buckets of power- let's not rewrite history. He also always has had great stamina. Kessler would not do as well as Lacy, he would get whupped even worse. If he's lucky, Kessler loses by UD.

Is your head in liquid it must be to say Lacy is better than Kessler Kessler has been fighting good guys has good power and can fight and box

Didn't say Lacy was better than Kessler. Stylistically, I don't think Kessler would do as well as Lacy. Calzaghe is much too fast for Kessler and Kessler doesn't have as much power as Lacy--and one thing in Lacy's favor, he was awesome at mixing up his punches and finishing, all of which had to have been somewhere in Calzaghe's mind--Kessler might be more talented, but less of a threat than Lacy, thereby giving Calzaghe even more confidence to dismantle him.

More than anything, I was refuting the assertion that Kessler has more power than Lacy and that Lacy only had a bodybuilder's physique.

Why should Calzaghe's handspeed be a problem for Kessler? There are not much between them in speed and Mundine is even quicker than Calzaghe, and Kessler did well to handle his speed

From what I have seen, Calzaghe is most definately faster as far as handspeed goes, also he is much more nimble.
I'm not trying to discredit Kessler's handspeed and footwork, which are great. I simply think at this point Joe is faster.
After he fights Manfredo we can have an accurate current representation of speed.
