Im a fan of Joe, but I'm now even pissed off with his choice of opponent (manfredo). I'll forgive him if he does fight Taylor though, for me it's a much bigger fight than Kessler since Taylor is proven on the world stage by fighting elite fighters already.

IMO Calzaghe hasn't got much to gain by fighting Kessler. If Joe were to beat him, the same people on this board who trash Lacy now will simply start trashing Kessler by calling him a limited upright european fighter who hasn't been tested.
