Kessler and Beyer have hardly gone out of their way to make the fight happen, and Calzaghe is without doubt the most marketable S-M at the moment, so the opposition have to go out and make the fight happen if they think they can beat him, not the other way around.

I can see the story in the South Wales Echo now, “Calzaghe stops meteor with Iron Fist”, after he finally is acclaimed as his birthright....Superman!
