    I would gain huge respect for Kessler for taking this challenge he is going to need to take a challenge eventually seeing how he and his team did not seem interested in fighting Miranda or Dawson. I personally do not expect this fight to go down I hope I'm wrong.

    Dawson wants no part of Johnson, that's for sure.

    Sadly, that's the story of the Road Warrior's career.. He's a decent and humble fellow and never deserved the short end of the stick that he seemed to always get with close fights. :-(

    Bika vs. Andrade!!! Is there a drooling smiley around?
    That fight would be great in a sort of dumb/sick kind of way.

    Maybe he shouldnt have made so many of his fights so ''close''...

    Alto people assume Johnson is robbed before they have seen the fight! Johnson talent overral is quite overrated.

    Mundine usually fought at about 2-3 pounds below the limit.
    Kessler has a pretty slim frame, thin waist etc, which leaves more room for muscles and height.

    Try checking out youtube for Kessler at 154!

    seems like kessler isn't in a rush to fight anyone, which is depressing.

    :patsch

    That speak for the quality of his opponents more. And speaking of "talent," GJ has little. It's his workmanlike ethic that more than compensate for his perceived "lack" of it..

    I know it's strange he looks f**cking huge on TV, but I used to work out in the same gym as Kessler for about 6 years. He is tall about 6 ft, but like another poster before me said he is very slim around the waist and is not a massive guy at all.

    Fingers crossed. I think I'll have to throw in a money after Johnson here. Kessler will be the smallest fighter he has met in while.

    Kessler by late KO or UD.
