Anyway. in a sense Mick i'm agreeing with you on many levels.
Kessler deserves to be respected. I recognise that.
However i feel that we must take another factor into account. Had Joe and Kessler been active in an other era i believe they would be more recognised and viewed as greater as they now are. I guess what i'm trying to say is BOTH kessler and Calzaghe would have beaten many and most of the best in any era AND they would have, had they been given the opportunity.
I agree they would have cause they both would have had better opposition to face.
I think it's safe to say that once the bell rings nore Siaca, Beyer, Eubank or Mitchell will matter much.
