[Kel]

Bring it on. Would be a cracker!

[LEGION]

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about right there!!! That is the fight I want to see and hoping it would get made. Was hoping maybe Pavlik/Andrade first to see where Pavlik might stand in the SMW, but f#ck it; make the Kessler fight happen.

[Youngblood]

I'm down with this.

[hackey]

This would be ideal imo, just as i said earlier, this is perfect for Calzaghe because if Kessler won, it would eliminate alot of the "what ifs" with Pavlik. It would be a brilliant fight also.

[ICB]

There both actually similar there both round about the same height, they both throw straight punches right down the pipe. Both mens best punches are the jab, right hand combination. It will be a very close call but i'll give the edge to Pavlik based on the the power advantage, and the work rate advantage. But it could go either way but i'll go with Pavlik by a close 12 round UD.

The jury is still out on Kessler. He's taken too long in my opinion to get back in the ring following his loss to Calzaghe. This leads me to doubt his confidence in himself.
Hopefully the fight with the unknown warrior can shed some light on that

[C-Lo]

ALRIGHT! Let's sign this fight! then when we start getting really excited about it, Kessler pulls out from some odd reason...







...Would not be surprised...

How do there C.J. Rock?!?!?

Nice to meetcha.

That being said...what makes you say that the jury is still out on Kessler? Don't think that I am being combative with my post...because I'm not...I just don't agree & am wondering what makes you say such.

Kessler is an accomplished fighter. Hellacious am career & he's pretty much drubbed out everyone that he's fought outside of Calzaghe.

Kessler is highly underratted & is an amazing fighter. If you watch him in with Mundine, Green, Siaca, & even Calzaghe he was on the mark & fundamentally sound in each & everyway.

With Calzaghe...it's just the awkwardness & volume.

If you watch Kess's early bouts to his latest...he's a hell of a champion.

I do begrudge him for the layoff/challenges that he's bowed out of...but I suppose when you are as high strung as Kessler & was so confident as he was against Joe...he's feeling a bit low with himself.

He needs to saddle up & ride again...because the kid generates excitement...& asses in seats.

Anywho...let's hash this out.

Just curious as to your thoughts.

I agree with this totally.

In the first five rounds of the Calzaghe fight it was almost if not totally even.

Name anyone that can hang with Calzaghe's volume... Kess in no way got beat up... just beat... and by a great champion.

The jury is IN.

Can't wait for his return. He is the future of the SMW div.

Yep. Their bout was neck in neck there for me...but once Joe settled in & figured out Kess's routine & that he could handle the power...it was done.

Kessler is still a force to be reckoned with & IWHO...he'll be the new king of the throne...if he can get his head back in the game.

Good points.

Calzaghe's work rate didn't change the fight around it was his jab, countering, boxing on the outside. As soon as Calzaghe found the range with his jab it was all Calzaghe and he was a clear cut winner by at least 3 or 4 rounds, and you said how many fighters could deal with Calzaghe's work rate ?? are we talking past/present ??
