    I it all revolves aroudn Andre Ward. Kessler has been exposed, Abraham has been exposed, Froch and Dirrel. But If Ward wins the Super 6 (As I think he will) then a fight with a 40 year old Calzaghe would be interesting

    You think Calzaghe would come back to be nutted to death by a Jesus freak? Not gonna happen. I don't think Ward is as good as certain people are saying he is anyway. He does have a really hard head though.

    Joe needs to stay retired. He's got nothing to prove. He's had a great career and he finished on a high. Even now I'm pretty confident he'd beat everyone in the super-six with the exception of Ward and maybe Dirrell and that's only because I still feel their untested. They both had good wins against Kessler and Abraham respectively but I don't doubt for one second that Joe would run rings around Abraham and he's already beaten Kessler, although not quite as convincingly as Wards head did.

    The Kessler that fought Joe was a different Kessler. Though, I agree. Nobody has ever really been neck and neck in a fight with Joe for 6 rounds.

    One name Robin Reid who i think beat Joe Calzaghe, and he also deserved to win against Sven Ottke. What a shame Robin Reid lost controversial decisions, to two of the longest reigning champions in that weightclass. How history could of been so different.

    @ Pride of Boston...It's difficult to tell if Kessler is a different fighter from when he fought Joe. He has no reason not to be the same fighter other than maybe psychologically that loss took a bit out of Kessler? Who knows?

    @ICB...That fight with Reid really could have gone either way. It's one of those where you wouldn't begrudge the win for either guy. Joe got the decision and that was that. That for me was his closest fight. The only thing that annoyed me was no rematch. Joe's actually one of my favourite fighters and the one and only time I've even been to a live fight was in Cardiff for his win against Kessler but the one thing that annoyed me about Joe was not giving rematches, with the exception of Veit. The loser in the Calzaghe - Reid fight deserved a rematch. Reid was robbed against Ottke though. The ref was abysmal in that fight!

    Oh i agree it was close i have no problem, with either guy getting the decision. But i had Robin Reid just nicking it, but yes he was for certain robbed vs Sven Ottke.

    True... I guess it's more of an opinion than something that can be guaged. That's how I feel, though.
