Corrales was a very good fighter he had one respected title going into the mayweather fight and lost several times post mayweather including one at the same division that mayweather beat him in, superfeatherweight against casamayor. Kessler on the other hand is very underated and had WBA and WBC belts as well as a fantastic unbeaten pro and brilliant amateur record. Its very tough for non american fighters to gain the respect they deserve, if kessler was american, imagine the hype, rememeber the hype over lacy....kessler would be the new saviour of american boxing.

However until kessler proves himself over the next few years we cant really judge him. Time will tell, I think kessler is better than taylor, pavlik etc and he will prove that in the future. Taylor was ranked very high p4p until pavlik came along and so when kessler beats those guys he will certainly be regarded better than corrales.

Supermiddleweight is now arguable the most competitive in boxing and if kessler emerges top of the pile which i think he will, calzaghe will get his due respect from those in the know but probably not from the very many haters.

As i have said i dont believe calzaghe is better than mayweather p4p yet and he probably wont be able to, mayweather is proving to be one of the best fighters of all time p4p so theres no shame in that BUT that doesnt mean he cant rank alongside the likes of jones jr etc amongst the very best middleweights

All i can say is bring on bhop vs calzaghe and bring on kessler vs miranda etc
