    Nah, has he even mentioned Mikkel? I think Hennessey is well aware of Froch's limitations.

    Kessler speaks the truth. None of those guys want Kessler, because he would knock them out.

    That's probably Kessler's only option then, And what about Abraham at 166?

    We all know that Kessler is clearly the man to beat at SMW, yet the other contenders (including the champs) seem almost outright scared of him.

    I have been a fan of Jermain for years, but I acknowledge that Kessler is top dog. And I have to admit that I am disapponted that Jermain isnt actively seeking this fight.

    We have to talk prime Tyson to find a similar reluctance towardss taking on the top dog.

    most of those fighters wont fight kessler because they know they will get smashed up for less money.
    kessler is a tough boxer so if they are going to have a hiding they want the big cash to go with it.

    Kessler should take the David Haye route and Harass them, Humiliate them and make them so pissed off that they agree to fight him.
    He could start by publicly telling Hopkin's that no black fight would ever beat him. Bernard would not be able to resist that kind of baiting.

    he should be fighting froch in england its a decent payday and a fight he can easily win to unify if he does that then the big six as he says aint that far away

    Froch called him out alright, but that was probably to get Taylor to pay up. Maybe thats why Palle (heh heh) actually contemplated taking the Froch fight in the hope that the whole world would see what a p***** Taylor is for not taking the shot that he earned.

    I think the problem, as others have said, is Kessler does not equal dollars and is a quality fighter. I think their are guys that would give him problems (AA for one), but his still a man that is going to beat most of the guys around SMW.

    So, why get the L for less $$? Perfect business sense.

    And these days, boxings not a sport but a business. And guys who are looking to secure the future of their family in a sport with no retirment fund/benefits/superannuation etc., I cant blame them.

    Froch is not a lesser fighter and he holds the WBC belt. If your so called champions won't fight Kessler how is that his fault ? Froch has more balls than the other guys put together .
