    I guess we just have different perspectives on this. I mean he was given a choice of big fights! He went through the list of possibilities that I questioned him on.

    And you're leaving out the part where he started that answer with, "Oh, as I said before it’s difficult to say. I just want a big fight."

    So in that context, seems to me he's just saying he wants a big fight, and he recognizes that fighting Bute or the Super Six winner, whoever it may be, are his most practical options to achieve that.

    You seem really hard on Kessler in this interview!

    :lol::good

    I'll have an avatar bet. :good

    But make no mistake, I see it as a super competitive fight between two guys battling it out. I just think Kessler edges it like he did with Froch.

    That's my personal opinion now.

    Of course, that could change with both of them having upcoming fights.

    I spoke with Kalle Sauerland the other day and he told me about the lowball saying that he asked Interbox if they really wanted him to make a counteroffer, given the low offer they gave. They didn't and Sauerland was not interested in showing his numbers based on that so you could say that both moved in different directions.

    Of course.

    Like, he could fight Bute... but of course Ward is far more of an attractive fight.

    Im sure you can see that.

    Of course I see that. That's what got me thinking he actually never really wanted Bute. :hey It was just PR.

    James Toney is a gent and a scholar.

    He needs to be on the show more often.

    Contrary to popular perceptions, I actually find Toney pretty articulate as a speaker, even when he's talking utter shite. I think it's mostly a matter of learning to understand his dialect--once you do it's clear the dude is very intelligent and alot of the **** he says is actually pretty wise.

    I was right about Adamek.
    It's true tho, that out of these 3(Tarver,Haye,Adamek) Antonio Tarvar is the one with the better chances. If I had not seen Wladimir's fight with Haye I probably would have picked him for having the better chance.
    Never said he's getting blown away. Just said that they got no chance of winning, and I'm not a Klitschko fan, but I acknowledge their assets.
