    Yeah.. There's some confusion. Kessler isn't hittin right now. He took the momentum he had coming off the Calzaghe fight and threw it in the garbage. Nobody is avoiding this guy. That's melodramatic. These guys are saying "who the **** is Mikkel Kessler?" Every single one of the guys Kessler said is avoiding him have accomplished more than he has in their minds and otherwise.

    Dawson is ducking Kessler because he doesn't have the chin to take his shots.

    As said, its the risk reward thing. Kessler is a really good boxer, technical and powerful, but a win over him will be snoozed on by the yanks. From what i've heard in interviews he is dead keen on big fights, whether his team are behind him is another thing.

    By the way, don't right Sartison off as a bum because he lost to Kessler. He actually has a bit of game and might make a lil comeback. Doubt he would become a champ, but he's no pushover.

    They said the money wasn't right, and that Dawson should fight at a catchweight. And he started out at 168. Kessler started at 154.

    Kessler seems to be a very confused fighter right about now.

    He is "ducking" (if refusing to fight at catchweight is ducking) because he would be more drained than Australian farmland if he fough anywhere below 175 anymore. I can't beleive he could even make tha weight two years ago.

    Mandatory position for what? He's already champion.

    Kessler should have fought Miranda when he had the chance. Now the chickens have come home to roost.
