Calzaghe is a F****** idiot...

[Syntax Error]

The problem with Joe is that he doesn't like to be told what to do.

If you point out the obvious to him, he'll go & do something else entirely.

Yeah, certainly last night that was the case. His dad was going mental at him in the corner, but then again....who really listens to their dad that often. When my dad used to go mad at me, I'd switch off and stand there waiting for him to calm down. He just wanted a tear-up in there, and he got it in spades.
You heard his dad in the corner go:
"Everything I've told ou so far, you've just gone and done exactly the opposite, you have to box this guy".

OK, so Kessler destroys Beyer to become a unified champ at 168 and then asks to fight Calzaghe, only Joe has now set his sights on Bernard Hopkins, who is over 40, retired and has hinted that he may want to fight heavyweight??


Precisley when was the Welshman hit so hard that he became a F****** moron?? Kessler is money in the bank, and is a far easier fight than a 50yr old Hopkins would be... Someone help Joe get a clue.


All this is according to www.fightnews.com by the way...

You said Hopkins was two different ages in the same article ... wow, and you were saying who's an idiot? Give the fight time he just came off his fight so relax.

[CityOfGod]

People say Calzaghe rises to the occasion and thus his disappointing fight against Bika.....

...but Kessler rose to the occasion himself last night and flattened Beyer in 3.

My point is, don't nobody consider the shape Kessler would be in if he came to face Calzaghe?? he would be explosive - and at 27 is not even peaking - perhaps in 2007 he will be peaking whilst Joe begins decline.......... !

[El Kabong]

Calzaghe has never been one to impress by fighting GREAT opponents but then again this is a sign of his era...Benn, Eubank, Watson, McClellan, Roy Jones, James Toney, Bernard Hopkins, Svenn Ottke, Daruisz Michalzweski, and so on never really hunkered down and fought any and all comers

[CityOfGod]

Otke dude??

since when his name should be even written with the others!

Taeth,


I said Kessler is an easier fight than a 50yr old Hopkins WOULD be... ie Hopkins would be still be tough to beat when he is 50.

[Purist]

No way... Kessler is big and strong, but he's clumsy - I know I can beat him. Ooops, quoting Rocky 4 again.

Seriously Calzaghe is the best in his division by far I think, that's what makes his decision all the more baffling.

Kessler is just the best supermiddleweight out there.. Calzaghe must be shittin his pants when he watch the Beyer fight the great dane in action

like he did when he watched Lacy stop Reid

The fight for Joe C. money wise is with Hopkins or Jones. Kessler looked very impressive the other night however Beyer was a sitting duck, no head movement at all , the guy was made to order for any puncher. Kessler is High risk little reward. Kessler needs more exposure to build up the dollars. He looks to be a strong fighter. anyway that my thoughts !

[Wacko3205]

I agree with some of what you said Lords.

I don't agree with some of the other parts of what you said...so I think we might can spark up some thoughts on the matter...here goes...

The fight for Joe C. money wise is with Hopkins or Jones.

Agreed. Money fights...in a big way! I honestly believe that Joe would eat Jones up...I go back & forth on how he'd do with Hopkins. Hopkins nullify's a lot of people's abilities with his jab & his defense.

Kessler looked very impressive the other night however Beyer was a sitting duck, no head movement at all , the guy was made to order for any puncher.

Not to be a smart ass...but Kessler's looked that good in pretty much every fight. Beyer was a dead duck the moment the ink dried. Again, not being a smart ass...but a lot of people have seen too little of Kessler to pass a clear judgement.

Being a fan of Kessler doesn't equate to me being an expert on Kessler...but I can honestly say that I don't think there is anyone at 160-175lbs that could beat him outside of Calzaghe or Wright. Joe would have to be on point/focused & Wright would have to be able to handle the extra 8lbs.

Wright's defense would give Kess hell.

Kessler is High risk little reward.

Totally disagree. Even me being a Yank...I can see the value here. First of all...unification...second...Calzaghe vs Kessler would generate a full fwockin stadium or two in Whales, Manchester, or some Danish joint!

Kessler needs more exposure to build up the dollars. He looks to be a strong fighter.

Again...kinda disagree...I still think Kess is already a cash machine & he's a superstar in his own country. Also...with a bit more publicity over this weekends 3rd round blast out of Beyer...you never know.

Man...I wish HBO woulda plugged that after the Calzaghe fight...woulda done wonders for Kess.

anyway that my thoughts !

Good thoughts.

Wasn't trying to rip 'em apart...just wanted to discuss some thoughts. Cheers.

back Wacko . . America is where the dollars are in boxing. HBO PPV , its just the way it is. If you want to make the big bucks you need exposure in America. not saying that a Kessler - Calzaghe fight would not generate good money right now overseas , but it would not generate anywhere near the dollars that the MGM Grand Casino HBO PPV / SKY Calzaghe -vs- Roy Jones Jr, or Bernard Hopkins will generate. I think after Kessler has a few fights available for American public viewing. Kessler would bring about intrest in the American public and the $$$ would follow , He is obviously a very very good fighter Kessler looks very dangerous to me , he is tall and lean, a str8 puncher, as it stands right now , Kessler is a very high risk with the fraction of revenue potential of the other fighters mentioned above ! Just my observation

Agreed. Good post.

Kessler is dangerous...but I truly believe that in the future...him dropping his hands & pausing on the back foot after he puches is gonna cost him.

Get some fights of his & watch. Mundine get's him with it two or three times a round it seems like...there again...the shots didn't really fwock with Kess even though they connected flush.
