He is another Naseem Hamed, making good money from fighting poor oppostion! Will he fight Kessler, duno, when Kessler agreed to fight, Warren suddenly changed the contractual agreements! And Peter Manfredo had to appear on a reality TV show to boost his flagging career! Not high calibre opposition for a 'supposedly' world class fighter like Calzaghe!
Anyone who has that many defenses and is undefeated has to be good. If he was not good one of those guys he defended against would have beat him on an off night. The man is quality. He manhandled Manfredo.
