    Yes sir. It would have to be some REALLY playing around type of stuff. If I were a manager/promoter of one of the big time players, I wouldn't want them to ride a damn bicycle, just in case of something silly.

    When people talk about a fighter taking risks, they dont mean of getting hurt, but of losing, or getting a shady decision against them. If it was by getting hurt then ALL fights are a risk, and thats not what the guy meant, he was saying Kessler lacks the guts to fight Dawson in the States, which is bull****. He has taken a bigger risk, when he had more to lose, and against a better fighter.

    He still took the risk, which is the point i was making. The guy i was responding to said he'd never taken a risk like Dawson, which is laughable.

    He has ONE better win, and two bigger names, both past prime and he lost one of them.

    Here's a link to some info about it. http://www.fox16.com/news/local/sto...quare-off/LNzjExCabk-ASUNInHefqw.cspx?rss=315

    Maybe they will wear headgear and only fight 2 min rounds. I dont know, as a prize fighter though, I wouldnt take chances like this.

    Thank you. It doesn't necessarily say they will fight at all. Maybe, a little boxing, little foot ball passing? Just entertainment for charity. ****, wish I could go.:yep

    When it comes to Kessler fans everything is a one way street....He call out Hopkins who fights as a lt heavyweight then his team says they dont want Dawson who fights as a lt heavyweight because he is a cruiserweight...They bash Taylor for fighting small fighters yet they push for Kessler to fight Taylor who by thier own definationis a small fighter, they bash Dawson for being forced into a rematch with Tarver yet say it was a great move for Kessler to chase Mundine...

    It comes down to nuthugging, there arent fans of boxing only fans of Kessler...Then they try to sell us he last few fights as good fights vs fighters that would beat everyone from Miranda to Dawson, which only they are buying, that to be honest I dont think that any of them actaully believe that, but they can back down now.

    Whats a bigger risk that he took???? Did Calzahge beat Dawson??? My point is Dawson would be the biggest strongest fastest maybe even the biggest puncher that Kessler has faced, but yet Kessler has taken on bigger risk??? I believe that his team has even said that Dawson is a huge risk.

    An Undefeated Kessler taking on a top5 p4p fighter infront of 65,000 of his own fans is a bigger risk than A) Anything Dawson has taken so far and B) A bigger risk than fighting Dawson in the states tommorrow. How's that even controversial. Thats what i was responding to, and it wasnt to you.

    What's a Calzaghe- Dawson fight got to do with a poster saying MK hasnt taking any risks, and has taken less risks than Dawson. An idiotic statement. Which is what I was responding to.

    Of course a fight with Dawson would pose a risk, (especially seein as it would bring **** all reward to him but to burst Dawson's bubble), he's a talented fighter, but are you seriously saying it's a bigger risk than fighting Calzaghe in Wales??.

    So now Dawson is the best at LH?. As much as it might pain you, that's Calzaghe's title, and Hop is next . Kessler fought a better fighter than Chad,in his backyard, when he was Undefeated and had more to lose than he currently does. How is that not taking a bigger risk?

    Kessler also ruled out getting down to welter to fight Margarito. He is avoiding everyone!

    Kessler holds few aces at the moment (recently beaten, brings no money, no audience, no real big money potential even) he's the guy who perhaps has to make the sacrifices for the big fights to happen - if he wants them that is.

    You can say that Calzaghe is better then Dawson then I can say that Dawson is better then Calzaghe...

    Fans dont fight for you...so many people make too much out of fighting here and fighting there...It dont matter were you fight as long as you get a fair shot...Kessler got a fair shot and he lost...There are cases were fighters dont get a fair shot, but that isnt one of them...The guy in front of you is who a fighter has to fight not the guy seatting in the 15th row double fisting pints..

    And for the record I know what you were saying and it wasnt that Kessler has taking bigger risk then had Dawson you were saying that Calzaghe was a bigger risk fight for kessler then Dawson, which is really bull****....Kessler actaully gained from losing the fight that isnt a risk if its a win win for you...Fighting Dawson isnt the same seeing how most would see that as even going in, Kessler was a dog with Joe, and most felt that Joe would win anyways.
