Team Ward: We want Kessler after Froch.

Below are Ward's comments on topics concerning his future:

On his future at super middleweight beyond Froch:

"Obviously, we have business with Carl Froch to handle, first and foremost. But beyond that,

, you know, Lucian Bute is a natural fight that we could take a look at. There's also a rematch with Mikkel Kessler, if that's something that makes sense. Kessler said that he would want to do it."

 

i wasnt criticizing ward

i was saying how kessler left the tournament to avoid the fray of the tournament

and is sitting it out and waiting for the dust to clear

he realized to win the S6 he had to beat Froch again and have to get by Ward to win it all

instead he sits out gets an easy belt of Stieglitz and gets the big showdown anyway

 

Ward is an amazing fighter. Like it or not, he always beats Kessler.

 

well its getting him the possiblity of a huge payday against Ward and if Ward doesnt win Froch would love to get a rematch so Kessler sat out without having to fight anybody and he is already being considered the first man to get the big money fight after the tourney

if his eye was so bad that he couldnt beat Allan Green than why is he gonna fight Ward?

He clearly avoided the tournament when things got tough

Dirrel got laid out and hasnt even picked an opponent or scheduled a fight

Kessler got out when he could and is taking fights

 

I guess you never heard of his serious eye injury.

 

Sounds to me like these dudes is afraid of Bute. Honestly they change their story twice in 2 minutes. First they want to say bite needs to fight a few guys so the money will be right...which is complete **** seen as how bite makes like twice as much as ward per fight and packs a 17000 seat hockey stadium. Then they say he needs to prove himself...right cause Miranda, joint Andrade and by that time Johnson isnt good enough?

It all smElla like bs to me.

 

if its so serious then how is he still fighting

 

Well duh, cause it's healed now.

 

To be honest , i want to see Dirrell/Kessler . But then again i wont mind watching Ward destroy Kessler again just because hes Overrated . I think Ward can possibly TKO him late this time around .

 

Right.

There's a 20+ page thread on why "Bute lowballed Kessler" is 100% speculation, you might as well read a couple.

Lowballed a drunken, distant, disinterested Pavlik at over $1M? Gimme a ****in break.

Kessler wanted ammo to support a 50/50 fight in the negos so he went to get himself a belt. More money in a Bute fight, and same hardware as Bute if the intent to fight the S6 winner right away is there. He lost his emeritus champ status so the legitimacy of having the right to go after the WBC belt the S6 winner will own, is gone. He's on par with Bute, who Showtime exec Ken Hershman said "will fight the winner of the Super Six" back when they signed him.

Pavlik's got personal issues, he ain't relevant anymore.

If Froch beats Ward, we'll see Froch-Kessler II in Nottingham and maybe Ward-Bute in Montreal as Ward would be backpedaling for a title. If Ward beats Froch, we'll see Ward-Kessler II and Bute-Froch... that way, with Bute beating two S6 contestants back to back, Virgil would have to find something else to BS about when talking about a Bute fight.

I respect Ward the man very much, he knows beating Bute would give him a real superman status at 168.

 

Ward beats froch and kessler. he is just that good. cant wait though.

 

Bute needs to prove himself because he isnt worthy of a fight with the great Ward but Bika, Green and Miranda were ?!?

Wtf is that ...
