I like Mikkel Kessler and this was a good win for Joe Calzaghe, but Mikkel Kessler has done nothing to warrant a rematch. He had chances to fight fighters like Edison Miranda ETC. But decided to waste this whole year fighting nobodies.
Kessler in most international observers' eyes gave Joe a closer fight than Hopkins did. Most international observers see Hopkins wining 1-3 rounds, whle most agree that Kessler won 3-6 rounds (rounds 1-5 + round 12). If Kessler was American there would probably be a unanimous cry for a rematch and most US media would see it as a robbery (although the rest of the world would still see it as close but no robbery at all). Now, some American fans even try to make the Hopkins fight seem close eventhough that wasn;t nearly as competitive
Super Middleweight also acknowledge as Kessler's Kingdom when Calzaghe has retire
