In certain respects this really could be the career defining fight....a whole band are on with Kessler now. If Joe can raise his game again and show us a clinic!!!

Well, everyone would say that Kessler was still green!!
I don't think that's really the case. Noone here, with the exception of Royal, are riding the Kessler bandwagon because of his nationality. Which I hate to say was the case largely with Jeff Lacy. Not to say he wasn't a good fighter. But if he wasn't American he would not have had the hype. People are hyping Kessler now because we know he's class, simple as imo. I don't see how anyone could say a guy with 2 world titles and 40+ fights is green... People didn't even really say that about Lacy, who was much more green than Kessler in the pro ranks, not to mention much less talented. Kessler would be a great win for Calzaghe.
