Calzaghe has accomplished more than anyone in the history of the SMW div. He's the face of the div.

As for as the thread goes. I have to be honest & say that I will save my vote & opinion for a little later. You fellas across the pond will probably be better at disecting this one than me.

I have only seen Kessler fight Andrade (saw some highlights. but no other live fights from beginning to end). He's VERY impressive.

I have seen Calzaghe plenty enough to know what he's about. He's the real deal. Everyone talks about him slapping with his punches. And it does appear that he does do this alot. But he has to be the hardest damn slapper in the world. The way he slapped bruises, knots, & lacerations across 32 of 43 guys that he took out.

It's a great fight for boxing. I will ride the fence on this one for a while. I will break it these to down & do my best to compare the stylistic match up to give my prediction. But as for now, the jury is still out on this one for me.
