    The guy is overrated for sure imo. All these guys ranking him within the top 20 is kinda a joke to me. Kessler probably won't be anything really huge anyways, hes a waste.

    Could just be the Kessler fan in me but I have to imagine that he's considered this at some point. There has to be more to it than just buying it out otherwise I'm certain he would've done it by now.

    Unless his contract is of some ridiculously disproportionate amount, he'd make it back easily with his first fight in Copenhagen.

    I'm just ready for him to fight someone with a pulse. He could have fought Dawson but said Dawson was too big. I think Dawson will chase him down to 168.

    He could've fought Miranda and let that bottom fall out. We can go on and on aboput all the Kessler fights that we'll NEVER see.

    Personally I think Dawson cleans out 175 before he makes a move anywhere. I think he beats Tarver (again), Tavoris Cloud (in a very close fight), Clinton Woods (in one of those "name opponent" fights and then finally he gets his Hopkins fight.

    I actually would have picked Kessler to beat Miranda he should have taken that fight. Maybe he'll atleast fight Froch another guy I would like to see him face.

    Froch is currently the most overrated....by some margin too.

    Kessler is class. He came close against a special fighter in Calzaghe who had to take himself close to the limit. Andrade is highly rated and Kessler beat the **** out of him.

    But he needs to get a move on. He should chase Froch who he would beat fairly easily ( thats from a Brit ) whilst bringing himself back into the public mind .

    Linares & Valero.

    you could join theyre resumes as if it was one and it would still be a very poor record.

    they dont deserve all the hype they get.

    In my eyes he is. He's a very good solid ABC champion, but many a fighter above that level, especially one with a bit of lateral movement, will beat him.

    "I watched the guy with the tattoo's (Mikkel

    "He can't fight going back or counter punch."

    "If you consciously know range and angles you shouldn't have a problem with this guy."

    No wonder Froch is avoiding him then?

    "Officially" they are after him!! Check out the press statements.

    Froch isn't that great, lets not pretend he is - he's fun though.
