Calzaghe has a good chin and we all know I'm not a hater... Quite to the contrary I think Joe C is a great champ...
But make no mistake, he has NEVER fought anybody with the pop Kelly has...
People keep mentioning Kessler above. Kessler, although his record shows a 74% KO winning percentage, look who they're against... Used up war horses and tomato cans...
Kessler is actually a very well schooled technical boxer... More that then anything... He is not the power puncher people make him out to be...

No, that's not being disputed... and Taylor wasn't out of gas... He got caught and finished... plain and simple. They were both tired.
I'm not disputing the fact that Pavilk has a padded record also but my point was that Kessler is not as hard a puncher as people make him out to be...
Kelly KO'd Miranda... a decent feat... Especially under the shelling he was getting in return... And Taylor is a tremendous fighter with good power that had already almost put him down for good... Kelly beat the man who beat the man twice... Kessler beat....................... Markus Beyer...
You know what I'm sayin...![]()

I'd have to say those are pretty fair asumptions... I'd have to agree... With the exception of Kessler KOing Taylor. I may be giving Taylor a tad to much credit but... I don't see that haoppening. It's possible and Kessler is quite skilled and strong so maybe...
Yeah, I know what you're sayin![]()

Yeah, completely different fighters. Calzaghe was sloppy against Hopkins though. Hopkins is impossible to look good against, but Calzaghe wasnt quite in the zone that night. The knockdown probably prepetuated the relatively conservative performance.
Calzaghe has the tools to make Pavlik look downright sloppy too. It has FOTY potential all over it.
FOTY... It will only be a FOTY candidate if Kelly KOs Joe... Case and point... I can't get up for that pitter pat, slap happy, partially blocked flurry style that Joe has... I think Joe was exciting in the begining of his career but not so much now... even when he wins by a large margin it's just...... Boring... Just me maybe.
FOTY would be Kelly lossing on points in a sea-saw battle and Kelly catching him on the button ala Taylor in the 11th...
Kinda like a dream I had![]()
