Whats all the hype about calzaghe????

[ICB]

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.

Agreed and if Kessler is his greatest test so far then who the hell has he been fighting for the last ten years. This is why I started this post to begin with. Im sick of hearing about his title defences, he's full of S***

Name me one fighter he could have fought at Supermiddleweight that were any better than the opposition he has faced ??

Tsypko, Joppy, Beyer, Glen Jhonson, Roy Jones, Hopkins

Tsypko are you kidding me ??

Joppy was Middleweight

Glen Johnson is Lightheavyweight

Roy Jones was Lightheavyweight

Bernard Hopkins was Middleweight

Markus Beyer didn't want to fight Calzaghe.

Next.
