Calzaghe Wants Kessler to Get a Couple More Wins Before Fighting

[SalTheButcher]

you could also take it up a notch and center that bitch out

[Drama]

I gotta say fuck calzhage.

[thewhale]

Yes Kessler needs to step up and challenge a proper fighter, maybe ManFRODO "the Hobbit" before he can get a shot at Calzaghe

[bigragu]

thats BULLLLLLLLLLL SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

what else can kesssssler do? who would he have notable wins against in order for joe c to feel he is worthy?

Joe is ducking.....does Kessler need to start fighting stiffs to get the attention needed?....follow in Joe C's footsteps perhaps?...Joe is hoping for kessler to lose(don't see it happening) so he can then say "He's not worthy of fighting for my BS title"......Joe is quickly falling down my list....FAST...

[Wacko3205]

also calzaghe is a pussy

Sal...you my friend are an idiot.

Your opinion holds about as much water as the male vergina.

In the end...Joe has a great point...let Kess fight maybe two more fights on U.S. telee.

HBO could market & sell the fwock outta Kessler vs Mundine II or Kessler vs Johnson.

Honestly...I woulda loved to have seen the RJJ fight come off...but Johnson would be a fantastic fight for Kessler...but it's near closing time to fit the Calzaghe deal.

I love Joe as a fighter, but if he doesn't fight Kessler now, I can't see it happening, JC has MAYBE 2 fights left in him, before his hands are completely destroyed and beyond repair.

If I was kessler, I would take over the rest of the SMW division, take the ring rankings and work my way down OR
if fighting JC was that important, take on Calzaghe's "Career Defining Win" fights, and try to win more convincingly than Joe did (e.g. Lacy). If Kessler could defeat Lacy convincingly, that would completely nullify Calzaghe's number 1 at 168 for me.

Kessler- WBA,WBC Champion
Joe-WBO Champion
I dont think its up to Joe to dictate at this point
Not to mention Kessler has only 4 fewer Pro Fights,but is 7 years younger

So far in this thread, I've only seen ONE opinion defending Calzaghe for what amounts to a "blatant ducking" of Kessler. So, let me add my voice to the majority.

Haven't seen much of Calzaghe, but I did see the Manfredo fight. And like many other boxing fans, I'm sitting here with my arms crossed waiting for Calzaghe to have a REAL fight against a REAL opponent, so he can justify his undefeated record and his lofty status on p4p lists. Until then, I'm completely skeptical. And by talking about Kessler fighting a few more fights, sounds like the scared rabbit everyone is making him out to be. On the other hand, I did see Kessler's last fight against Andrade and came away TOTALLY impressed. So Calzaghe..... PUT UP OR SHUT UP!!

Calzaghe has had plenty of live opponents & honestly...you need to see more than just two or three Calzaghe fights to pass judgement...don't mean that as harsh as it sounded...but that is the reality of the matter. Before condemning a fighter to the depths that most lable Calzaghe...you HAVE TO see his other fights.

Kessler should just go on about his business of hammering out everyone else out there.

[Trainer Monkey]

First it was Warren saying "Well we offered them the European TV rights and that MIGHT be worth......."
Now its Joe saying "Id like to see him get a couple more fights"

Whats next?
"The dog ate my title"

[TitoFan]

Be that as it may, wacko... and I don't pretend to be the most knowledgeable about Calzaghe by any stretch of the imagination.... isn't it true that a true fighter should be chomping at the bit and ready to fight the best out there? And isn't it true that fighters should give fans the fights that they REALLY want? If so, where does Calzaghe get off saying that Kessler needs "a few more fights"? Sounds like an excuse to me, and until Calzaghe fesses up and calls out Kessler, my opinion remains unchanged. Remember, boxing needs every great bout it can get nowadays, and we can't afford for fighters to be pussy-footing around protecting unblemished records, which IMO is what Joe seems to be doing. Whether he admits to it or not, Calzaghe-Kessler is the next fight fans want to see, and all the hemming and hawing in the world isn't going to change that.

When Brian Kenny asked Calzaghe if he wanted Kessler, he said he is a good fighter who he wants to get a couple more wins and that he would talk to him about it in 6 months. He said he was big and strong, but it could be a big fight if Kessler could raise his profile. Also said that he would want Taylor in Whales but for more money would accept a fight in the states. He said he loves Vegas.

Joe knows how to make you wait.

He knows how to duck aswell Joe is a hypocrite he fights the the bum off contender who had no good wins but fights him in a second but he won't fight number 2 some say number 1 in his own division uhh something smells fishy here and Wacko your saying let Kessler fight few more times well knowing Calzaghe he will prolly fight a bum do his hands in and retire this needs to happen now any real boxing fan knows Kessler don't need any more wins he is great fighter and has proved it and Calzaghe im sorry to say is ducking Kessler.
