Calzaghe does deserve the benefits of money and home advantage as P4P ranked fighter and long time champion though...
This is really wierd saying this, but I totally agree with you miles.

For me personally I would like to see 50/50 split and neutral grounds. But based on the fact that Calzaghe IS the longer reigning champ he has cards to pull (Hometown advantage and bigger purse).

I also think it would be a very competitive fight, but still one that Joe would win. Not to discount Kessler, he has the best shot at taking out Joe of any SMW. My pick Calzaghe UD 7 rounds to 5
I hope the next time you agree with me, which may very well be in about 14 months times....I hope that time feels a little less weird than this time!!

Kessler is not to be discounted it would be the toughest fight of Calzaghes career and coming at the twilight of said career too. Hopefully Calzaghe will crush Manfredo and show that his skills are just as sharp as when he beat up Lacy. Has all the potential to be a very special fight!
