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.
