Why ?? both men were at there best and Kessler was clearly beaten by at least 4 or 3 rounds. I don't really see why Calzaghe has to fight Kessler again.
It was in front of a pro Calzaghe crowd, in Joe's hometown. 3 or 4 rounds isnt a huge beating by any means.
Also Kessler had the more recognised belts before the fight.
I think beating a prime fighter in Kessler in his hometown would do more for Joes legacy than continuing to fight 40 something guys.
3 or 4 rounds is being generous to Kessler some people even had it 9-3 which Wacko did. I see no point with Calzaghe fighting Kessler in Denmark, not only would there be a chance of Calzaghe getting robbed of a decision. But he will hardly get any credit for beating the same fighter he already easily beat. At least if fights Jones in USA and wins he will get a lot more exposure and more credit for the win.

agreed. Hopkins will outclass him and take him to school.
Calzaghe's work rate alone won't allow him to get taken to school by Hopkins. Calzaghe is a very skilled fighter with a good jab and he punches from all angles. Calzaghe's best assets like his Jab, Workrate, Angles, will badly trouble Hopkins. Whoever wins it won't be one sided at all and i would lay down £1000 on it as well if i had that type of money to bet with.
