    I heard that Bute signed the contract to fight Larsen in Europe next.

    All that needs now is Larsen's signature on the contract. Apparently Larsen wants more money and hesitates to sign.

    I would love to see Bike fight Kess....Bika is one of the only guys that could rough up Kess a bit...maybe get him off his game with a few head buts and low blows and maybe an elbow or 2.

    Kess should win but it would be a tough fight.

    It would. It was surprising when Bika made it a long night for Calzaghe, but now we know that Bika is a world-class operator.

    Kessler isnt going to fight Dirrell, Dirrell has the skills and talent to totally shut Kessler out. The problem is Dirrell is still young, and if Kessler were to lose to him it would be a big hit to his career, while a win over a rather green prospect wouldnt do much for him.

    Maybe Kess might target someone at the back of the top 15 as he may want to beat up the guy to look good.

    A fight with Bika maybe a bit tough for Kess ATM even though he will beat him.

    Direll is really really good and maybe maybe... but there is still a long way to go before we will find out. Kessler is light years ahead of Direll at this point in time, but I am definitely looking forward to Direll's fights in 2009.

    if he is going to fight in usa then it needs to be against an american,(u.s.or south american)to draw the fans.

    I hope it's Bute, but Bika would be a decent fight. Good exposure for Kessler, and Bika always comes to fight. Can imagine Kessler winning a UD, Bika is known for winging his punches and Kessler is great at chucking them straight down the pipe.

    I think Kessler would do brilliantly if he could stop Bika, who seems tough as Hell.

    Mikel Kessler vs Edison Miranda would be a good match up.

    but kessler has already backed out of this fight in the past after agreeing terms.

    Bute would be outstanding but cant see it happening.

    Bike may be difficult to look good against but still a good fight, id still like to see him whoop miranda just so he can shut a few people up...

    beating a US prospect like Dirrel will also put him on good sted, but tbh i dont know too much of Dirrell, however some rate him highly.
