Joe Calzaghe vs Mikkel Kessler

[killersheep]

Kessler isn't ready for Calzaghe.

Hold-up, what would Kessler have to do to be ready for Calzaghe?

Beat Lacy

I wouldn't mind seeing Lacy - Kessler, however..............

FACT: Calzaghe gave Bika a shot
FACT: Kessler has the rest of the belts
FACT: Kessler is undefeated
FACT: Kessler has a much better record than anyone Joe has fought in the past (yep even Lacy)
FACT: Kessler has NEVER been knocked down, Joe has twice
FACT: Kessler has 25 fights since 2000 Calzaghe has 15 since 2000
FACT: Kessler has a 76.3% KO rate, Calzaghe has a 73.8% KO rate

for me all signs point to that being a great match-up, I even give the edge to Kessler for the following reasons

1) Kessler looked brilliant against Beyer, dominating and put him away convincingly.
2) Calzaghe looked like ass against Bika, yes he won, but it was ugly.
3) Calzaghe's hands are brittle at this point.

I see nothing that shows Kessler is not ready for Calzaghe. I don't buy the hasn't fought against Lacy argument.
