    They won't be able to answer your question and Stieglitz has already refused an offer from Kessler's camp. You know, when Sauerland was searching for an easy opponent, Stieglitz was his choice. He didn't want Bute right away. Now, Sauerland is saying Stieglitz is on par with Bute. :rofl The worst is many Kessler's fans are falling for that. :roll:

    Why do you think that Kessler said his Saturday fight would be his last in Denmark, Einstein?

    Interbox boss has said it on a Montreal radio station. I return your smile. :lol:

    It sounds more logical to me that way.

    Kessler needs another tune-up such as Stieglitz to get back to his best & build up the Bute fight more.

    If Kessler doesn't look shot tonight then there's no way either Bute or Stieglitz will fight him.

    I think there is no time for another tune up and NO need to build up the Bute fight.

    I don't think time's an issue(similar ages). And building the fight up more couldn't hurt. Kessler's been out a long time. I only wanna see this fight if Kessler's at his best.

    Stieglitz is a good boxer, but in my opinion Bute is better.

    However, that is really beside the point.

    Kessler wants a belt and a Stieglitz fight would be great for that.

    And importantly Kessler is not the one who has yet to test himself against top opposition and better yet - do so away from home!

    So Kessler doesn't really need Bute much, but Bute desperately needs a (or actually some!) top SMW fights! And his '"stay at home for the difficult fights" reputation is really already now tarnishing his rep - even before he has met anyone really good.

    Kessler has showed several times that he will travel to the biggest fights... but it would be crazy and unnecessary to travel to Bute's backyard, because Bute needs Kessler far more than Kessler needs Bute.

    I fully expect Bute to want to fight Kessler no matter how he looks tonight.

    As long as it happens in Canada - Bute fully believes he can beat Kessler.

    And perhaps he can... Bute is a great boxer. Taller than Kessler, very fast and perhaps faster than Kessler, good reach, and so on.

    For me the current percentages are:

    In Canada:
    Bute-Kessler
    60-40

    In Denmark:
    Bute-Kessler
    40-60

    Neutral spot:
    50-50

    ______________

    So - I honestly think Kessler will lose if it happens in Canada. I predicted that Kessler would lose to Calzaghe and Ward too.

    PS:

    This is my ranking at SMW:

    1. Ward
    2. Kessler/Froch/Bute (who wins strongly depends where the fight is - just because any fighter is a bit better at home - and I a not implying any cheating or anything).
    5.Dirrell - I think Dirrell has the tools to be the best - even better than Ward. But he will need to work on his psyche first. I fully believe he chickened out against Ward.
    On the next spots:
    Abraham/Andrade/Bika/Johnson/Pavlik
