Calzaghe has made loads of defences even though they have been against mainly pony opposition.

Jones is a better fighter but Calzaghe is a better Suppermiddleweight

Back to the original point though. I didn't vote on this poll originally but I would have voted Kessler and been wrong so I've voted him anyway!



Kessler was the most talented pure boxer Calzaghe ever faced, he combines speed, power and skill. Kessler is one of the top young boxers around. I saw him KOd Beyer with one shot, he gave Andrade an incredible boxing lesson. Kessler's brand of clean crisp performance is something I'm not seeing from any other young boxer at the higher weights right now

To those who say that Joe fans only hype Kessler to make Joe look better, I say that while that may be true in some cases, its mostly wrong, because thinking that way presupposes that Kessler isn't actually any good. He is, he's the top guy at SMW and proved it by taking everyone elses belts up until he met Joe. You only have to look at him to see the amount of potential he has and what a difficult prospect he would be for anyone at SMW/ LHW
