Do you think there is a chance of Hopkins/Kessler being made?

    Would HBO get behind this? It would be a great fight to see...

    Kessler has been trying to get Taylor or Hopkins. That's what he said when he was in New York for Jones/Calzaghe. He wanted one of those fights here in the states.

    I doubt Kessler takes this fight.

    why wouldn't he ? it's not like kessler has anything to lose in this fight, he doesn't even have an "0" to protect so I don't see why he wouldn't? I think Hopkins takes this by decision though

    As opposed to all those black, yellow, and purple polka dot Eurobums floating around??? :lol:

    I personally would like Kessler-Hopkins, but it doesn't scream "fan draw" and therefore won't happen.

    Kessler doesn't help Hopkins cap off his resume with a sure victory in emphatic fashion before a huge crowd (and that's what Hopkins is looking for); and Hopkins doesn't help Kessler unify and forge a legacy at 168 (which is what Kessler and his team are ostensibly looking for).

    Kessler would take it, I'm not confident his management would. I'd prefer to see him against Taylor or Bute, though - I think Hopkins is a bad style for him (or anyone, for that matter).

    I seriously doubt it. I mean Kessler is a guy who backed out of fighting Miranda for one reason or another. I doubt he wants to come over to the states and take on Hopkins for his first fight overseas. I'm sure Hopkins would be willing though but it takes two to tango.

    Because Australia isn't far enough overseas from Denmark?

    Hillariously, you're still talking bollocks, as Kessler has already fought in the US.

    Two chances to actually check your facts before typing and still the fail.

    LOL that was amusing.

    I'd like to see Kessler V Hopkins, I don't know how Hopkins would feel afterwards having had two white guys beat him though.

    You're right, he did fight in once in the U.S. a few years back. But that doesn't change the fact that he avoided Miranda for one reason or another. :good

    tell me one weapon kessler has which wont be completely neutralised by hopkins lateral movement and footwork because kessler is too stationary and has average footwork

    I'm sorry, I just can't take you seriously after saying he ''never fought overseas'' then followed up with ''obviously I mean't the USA''... classic.
