Oh, he'll be a big name with them. It's not that hard. Look how Adamek got so much more rated in the US for just going there to fight an Australian that had never fought outside Australia before. If that fight took place in Poland, he'd just be another Eurobum. Look how Abraham is suddenly more rated in America for going over there and beating a journeyman who he'd already beaten before. He's still never really fought anyone at all, but suddenly more rated.
For someone that talks about "facts" you clearly don't know them yourself. Kessler LOST his WBA title to Calzaghe moron. Mundine won that WBA title in March 07 and later that same month Kessler defended the REAL WBA title against Andrade. Then Kessler lost the title to Calzaghe.
Before he signed up with Adamek, Cunningham was available. Dawson could fight the winner of the Adamek v Cunningham fight. Why not? The point is no one should be forced to go up in weight just because you want it. No Kessler should not move up in weight. He is comfortable at 168. If Hopking wants to fight him at 168, I am sure Kessler will be happy to oblige him. Even though Hopkins is a natural LH I am sure, he could make 168.
And Adamek is now fighting Cunningham and Abraham is getting the push from HBO for a fight with Pavlik...... Kessler is hoping that Taylor fights him instead of the winner of Froch vs Pascal. If Kessler did to Miranda what Abraham did then HBO or Showtime would be pushing other fighters to fight him. Taylor vs Kessler would definitly be the next fight because HBO would MAKE it happen. **** the public but HBO and Showtime have the money and the pull to get the big fights to happen.:deal
Dawson was signed to fight Tarver. And maybe he will fight Cunningham if Cunningham wins..... And you say Hopkins vs Kessler at 168??atsch Kessler has already said he would move up to fight Hopkins or Calzaghe......... but not Bad Chad.:hi:
Miranda WAS a big name but got exposed badly. He made his name out of the ring with a BIG mouth. If he had spent more time in the gym working out instead of talking shite, he might have been a name. There is time for Kessler. He is still young. Besides, it was hard to find any good US fighter Taylor at 168 at that point. It was a better move to regain his belt. He made that defense against Haussler and it was a notable fight for Europe. I am sure Kessler made good money for that fight. It is not Kessler fault that there is no good US fight at 168. Now with Taylor doing well against Lacy, it is a very good possible match-up for Kessler.
Well Kessler's next two fights will deside wether or not dropping Miranda was a good move. Kessler's name is in play versus the big guys: Hopkins, Taylor, Dawson and now Calzaghe ... so as I see it Sartison/Häussler has hurt Kessler's chances of a big fight ... neither have Abraham beating Miranda brought him any close the big fights...
"Bad" Chad was not that bad against Glen Johson. He was kind of tame that night. The old warrior kicked his ass. "Bad" Chad should consider fighting Johnson agains in order to clear his loss. His 0 is a paper one.
Man Kessler gets no respect at all. That dude is a great (yes I said it) fighter. Im not talking all time great but he is very very good, why he gets no respect is beyond me. Good chin, power, speed, skill. I doubt any other smw could beat him besides slappy joe
I bet if Kessler or Calzaghe beat Dawson you would be saying that Dawson beat Johnson in a close fight. ****in clowns.
