Cmon guys lets not be getting ahead of ourselves here. Kessler is indeed making all the right noises, and indeed Calzaghe is not making the right noises (see "Calzaghe drops quit hint" thread) but I still think that Kessler has really never faced someone with the quality, 12-round workrate and awkward style that Calzaghe has.

I think that Kessler will show a lot of guts, determination and come-forward aggressiveness in Cardiff come November 3, but I think that even a creditable performance for him will leave him in a good position to dominate the division when Calzaghe moves on to light-heavweight or retirement.
