Why Is Calzaghe Ducking Kessler But Calling Out Taylor?... Team Kessler Speak!!!

[Stanley Madson]

I am not sure that Lacy is able to read that fine letter. That letter was written in a gentleman way. If Lacy is to read that it has to contain gangsta and criminal stuf - no, Lacy is a fine guy and a gentleman but I do not think that he would stand a china man's chance against kesssssler. Let us get it on!!!!

I can just imagine the scene now in the Calzaghe household over Christmas.

Enzo: Rightio, Joe boys bach, my little sparrah. Let's have a little chaaat about who you're going to fight next year.
Joe: I want that one (points at a picture of Bernard Hopkins).
Enzo: Joe, we've discussed this. Hopkins has retired and will only return from retirement if it's for a shot at the World Heavyweight title.
Joe: I want that one (points at picture of Hopkins again).
Enzo: Well, what about Jermaine Taylor. Uncle Frank tells me our friends in the States have said we can fight him in the summer ... and he did of course beat Hopkins twice.
Joe: Yeah, OK.
Enzo: Of course, there are other alternatives.
Joe: You don't mean ...
Enzo: Well, I don't want to ruin Christmas for you, but ...
Joe: You're not serious ...
Enzo: Joe, he's willing to come here. We wouldn't even have to travel.
Joe: But Daddy! He's scary, what with those big, very heterosexual tattooes. AND he beat a rugby player up - and they can be quite big and scary themselves.
Enzo: OK lad. We'll just stick to beating some more yanks up. You get back to your turkey, it's getting cold.

Hmmm, tattoos that are heterosexual? Sorry, but I gotta disagree with you on that one, I don't think your description of those 'heterosexual tattoos' covers up your own feelings for Mr Kessler It's okay jan...we're very open minded and liberal on this board we keep the mean stuff on the hidden boards.

They part i found funny was how he mentions kessler beat up a rugby player as if they are all solid? i played for 10 yrs and wudn't think much of a world champion boxer who cudnt take a rugby player.

Palle is going to have to eat his own words soon, because Calzaghe is going have to fight Kessler eventually. The thing is, Kessler just isn't anything special. I really beleive this. He looks just like your run of the mill contender at every division. I mean Manny Siaca was able to make him look ugly at times. Manny Siaca. He fights really bad off his back foot. He leaves himself open for 10 years everytime he throws a jab. He doesn't vary his combinations much at all. He moves straight ahead constantly, doesn't cut the ring off very well. He's just like Lacy. Imposing, spectacular at times but has so much work to do around the edges. Now I think that Kessler and Lacy are the future of the division but...I haven't seen a single thing to see what makes anyone think Kessler can beat Calzaghe. Kessler - Lacy (healthy and focused Lacy) would be a much better fight because it's one Kessler has a chance to win and look good in.

Hate to be so down but it's the truth.

And Calzaghe I think recognizes that and no matter what Palle says, Manfredo is 10 times the NAME of Kessler. No one knows who Kessler is. My friends little sister knows who Manfredo and Mora are.

You say he leaves himself open but when Kessler faces southpaws his footwork (which is really good) is used to line his opponent up for the right hand. Just like he display against Beyer.

My suggestion - watch Kessler again. When in doubt, watch him again.

Kesslers footwork, jab and right hand are some of the most versatile in the game. So much so that he has barely lost rounds solely cos of them. Everytime people doubt him and he steps up in competition he dominates in style. The man has probably lost less than 12 rounds in his whole career. Maybe as low as 5-7.

Kessler will keep stepping up but when his tools don't work against the elite I want to know if he has even more offensive and defensive tools. If he does, god help boxers.

Kessler hasn't really showed amazing infighting abilities because to date his jab, right hand, sense of distance, foot speeed, hand speed, height, reach etc has totally dominated guys to the extent that he boxes in mismatches.

Kessler is a potential spoiler for Calzaghe. If he boxes Joe, he'll make him look bad.

The first time I read it I didn't quite realise the implication but halfway through jangeorg's last baffled rambling it hit me, and personally I think that the implication is disgraceful....but quite possibly accurate.

nah, taylor just has a lot more drawing power than kessler at the moment. its about the money. calzaghe isnt all talk though, he might even be able to take taylor. hes bigger than ouma who taylor couldnt seem to KO and even though he clearly beat ouma, k.o. exposed some weaknesses that im sure j.c. will keep in mind...i agree though, manfredo is a sacrificial lamb, i think he took it cuz shit if someone told you that you could work a half days work with peter manfredo or you could put in a full days work with someone like kessler and get roughly the same amount (or more to fight p.m.) keep in mind that at the end of the day, boxing is a business; these guys are not always all about pleasing the fans and fighting the biggest fights. they choose to fight the "smart" fights for the most amount of money and keep their bodies and brains as intact as possible in what is probably the most dangerous sport around.
