    And I'm sure if it was a letter presented by Dan Goosen, it would be unquestionably true and irrefuttable right?

    I know he didn't. His English is not that good :D

    Maybe Michael Marley took dictation from Mikkel :think

    It would all depend on the situation. Evertything is not black and white.

    I think you can be pretty sure Kessler or his team were behind this. I don't think the Scene would publish this if they were unsure about the authenticity of the letter.

    If Team Kessler is behind it then they need to get their story straight. Parts of that letter contradict earlier statements from Palle

    His first language is Danish and the reason they spoke English during the Calzaghe fight was to win over the English fans (I think).

    He is half English, but his spoken English isn't very good. His understanding of the language might be perfect though I of course have no clue about that.

    This was when he had Jimmy Montoya as a co-trainer in the corner together with his regular trainer Richard Olsen. It was only for the Sartison fight.

    Ofcourse two danes wouldnt speak english in a hectic titlefight, i believe Kessler spoke to Paddy Burns(Cutman) during the fight...His english is very good, he lives in Monaco, but his accent is a bit heavy...engish with a danish accent is not as charming as english with a spanish or swedish accent!

    His corner spoke Danish in the Calzaghe fight. The English you heard was HBO's interpreter, who Jim Lampley mistook for his corner man!

    Kessler's English is good, certainly better than my Danish..

    This **** is all about money. Come up with the right sum and any of these guys will fight Kessler. Problem is they don't know if Kessler will bring the gate that Hatton brings to the states and no one wants to fight in Denmark or where ever the hell he's from. Boxing isn't the all out warrior sport it once was and we will be very lucky if we ever see the best guys fighting the best guys. Problem is we buy the bull**** like DLH/ Pacman and the networks keep feeding it to us. If boxing never gets a real governing body that will ban the clowns who don't wanna fight then we the fans will sadly be the ones to suffer. Everybody comes to the forum and posts the fights they want to see but HBO and Showtime have a totally different agenda. Sadly we love it so much we watch (and act like we enjoy) the bull****. Stop buying those weak ass pay per views and tuning in to the non title and non eliminator so called "super" fights and then we can see how good a guy like Kessler really is. That's when holding the titles will have meaning again! Otherwise by 2010 we'll all be watching WWE pay per views instead because the state of our sport is such a sad one!

    Money is allll it is.No pride there...Kessler has pride why doesn't someone want to test themselves against him,Joe Calzaghe did,thats what the fans wanted.

    C'mon Bernard don't be shy Calzaghe had a point,Joe's beat you,Joe's beat Kessler lets see if your third or second best

    Kessler is very funny... what about Abraham and Bute Mikkel ? Those two would beat most of the six names you have in mind !!
