    Im a Calzaghe fan but it is Kessler who is making the bigger fights at the moment and Calzaghe is fighting his second easy ticket in as many fights. Kessler has the momentum at the moment.

    Two horse race Kessler and Calzaghe. The likes of Andrade and Mundine MIGHT be able to pull an upset if everything goes their way. But it seems unlikely.
    Right now - as in who'd win if they fought right now and past accomplishments don't mean shit. Then I'd have Kessler on top by a small margin.
    He's had the best recent oposition and looked the best against it. Also Kessler being far more willing to take a Calzaghe fight, than the other way around indicates perhaps Joe is not at all confident.

    If Calzaghe can pull of another perfect performance like against Lacy he sure looks dangerous. But it'd better be a career best performance because Kessler fights very consistantly on a high level and has not revealed many cracks in the armor.
    Much more uncertain what state Calzaghe would show up in for the fight, with age and hand-trouble possibly beginning to be major problems.

    As time goes by, the odds are increasingly tipping in Kessler's favour.

    I had to take Kessler on this one, he is taking on the tougher competition and is he
    beats Andrade, that completely trumps the Jeff Lacy win by Calzaghe IMO.

    I think thats fair enough. For me Calzaghe is still number one. If they dont fight one another Kessler will soon surpass Joe by virtue of fighting the better competition, its not ideal but the the thing with being top of the tree is you have to keep on proving it, Joe seems reluctant to.

    Well like most people I'm getting frustrated with Calzaghe's seeming inability to pursue the big fights but lets be fair, in Chris Eubank and Jeff Lacy he has two bigger names than anyone on Kesslers record.

    He's beatne all comers and is the worlds longest reigning champion in any division.

    Yes I'm annoyed he chose to avoid Kessler and fight Manfredo instead but until he gets beaten he's still number 1.

    Umm, how on earth did Robert Stieglitz end up on this list of luminaries....surely there are plenty more SMW's on this list who deserve to be in the top 5?

    Anyhow, predictably enough my vote is going to go with Calzaghe, but come this time next year, and Calzaghe has continued to fight top 20 fighters, and Kessler fighting top 10 fighters, then I think it inevitable that Kessler will deserve top spot. But not yet.
