Whats all the hype about calzaghe????

[El Gamo]

1: Kessler has beaten top opposition & has the other 2 belts. He is the #1 ranked contender.

That's an easy answer to a question that I am shocked you asked.

2: Not the biggest...but he's stiff opposition. Eubank, Lacy, Gimenez, & many other fighters in their times were pretty big tests.

He rates the biggest chance due to his youth & power.

You are only kidding yourself here.

1) Yes Kessler has faced some top contenders and has two belts and is universally recognized as the #1 contender..... All in the same weak a$$ division.

2) Kessler is the biggest test in his career, there is no doubt about that. He is young, has power, is undefeated and, unlike Lacy, is experienced and an established unified champion.

Rookiefan,I have to disagree with you here bro. Between them,they have all the titles and beaten most of the top opponents. You can't ask for much more than that man!

What exactly are you disagreen with me about?

I think some people are misunderstanding me.

I am not questioning that both Kessler and Calzaghe are great fighters.

I am not saying that Calzaghe has ducked anybody.

I am not implying that Calzaghe is not exciting or good for the sport.

I am questioning one thing and one thing only: quality of opposition.

The OP made a good point and out came bzknf (did I get that right?), wacko, miles, and all the rest to the rescue and talking like he had just insulted your mother(disclamer for the slow ones, that was a joke). Just the size of this thread is enough to indicate that there is some serious insecurity on how some people feel about Joe.

Nothing of what any of you have said has changed my mind that Kessler, despite not having done anything of any remarcable importance or having established himself as an elite fighter, is in fact Calzaghe's greatest threat so far.

Open any top 10 list from any website/magazine and you'll see JC number 1,Kessler number 2. What more do you want? why don't you tell me who else should he fight? You questioned who JC fought,which is fair and well,but then you question Kessler? Combined they have all the titles,and have beaten the top contenders. Thats what I'm disagreeing about. All the titles,the top2 ,both undefeated,what is there to question(and you clearly questioned what Kess has done).

I have no insecurities about Joe,I'm not here to defend anyone,I just don't understand what your point is. Look at what I've just written,purely based on facts,how can you rebut that?
