How the F*** do we know? Who has put him to the fire? Why does he deserve such grand respect?

Calzaghe is the only Great fighter at 168 right now and no one will beat him there...at 175 that's different but you still have to factor in Lacy and Green those guys won't just go away because they have been beaten or in Green's case just have a lack of defense.
Well like Valuev he is undefeated and youd have to agree he should start as favourite against Beyer . If he were fighting Calzaghe it would be a different story but prett son he'l be a undefeated unified world champ and his stock is growing .

Green wasnt a bad 1st round k.o win for him . Mundine is also a decent name to have on the record , as is Lucas and Andre Thyse beat David Starie and Kessler stopped him so its going well so far .

If Joe departs the scene to fight Clinton at 175 then Kessler will be the man to beat at supermiddle weight
