As a Calzaghe hater and a huge backer of Lacy, it discust me that people downgrade the Lacy victory so much. It was a legit super fight. Look back at 2005 and the fights people wanted and Lacy - Calzaghe was probably tops along with Mayweather - Hatton and Taylor - Wright.

Now in hindsight people talk about that fight like it meant nothing. I think the fight would have a lot more credibility if it was a close fight to the end which is really wrong imo. Honestly, I think Joe is about as good of fighter as there is when he is on his game. The problem is that he hasn't had but 1 or 2 real big fights. And he seems content with that. And that's why I don't like Calzaghe, the same way I disliked Jones Jr.

Joe would probably beat Kessler. In fact I'd bet on it. Kess is the future but if Joe is on his game and he's up for a fight he is a tougher win then there is in boxing. And if he were to destroy Kess, it would mean a bit for about half a minute until a year later when some other undefeated's promoter is calling Calzaghe out and pointing out how meaningless the Kessler fight was. Just like Palle is doing now with Lacy.
