    Kessler sparred Bika before Calzaghe, Bika was giving it the whole Kessler hits harder than Calzaghe, is better etc etc.

    Of course they would prefer Mikkel. He fought on HBO a couple times. Froch is a complete unknown entity to them.

    I'm wondering the same thing, in which case it probably won't be Taylor either (Kessler/Taylor is not an undercard fight).

    But it might be a tape delay from Denmark that they show as the undercard for Dawson/Tarver... Bika or even Green would be good candidates for something like that.

    Froch won't fight Kessler,He doesn't want to lose his paper championship so quick.

    Andre Dirrell would be fantastic to see against Kessler but I agree Sakio Bika always brings the ruckas, I like him.

    Bika and Andrade are the two fighters noone wants to fight.

    Which is why I wanna see this fight.

    Bika is improving and absolutely dominated Manfredo last time out. Would be interested to hear what Manfredo thinks about this fight?

    Why would anyone want to hear what Manfredo has to say on this matter?

    But Bika is sort of a last option for Team Palle... Because of his losses to Bute and Calzaghe, they really dont want to fight other champions leftovers. (Hopkins excluded).

    Taylor is OUT
    Froch is OUT
    Bute is OUT

    They are still in negotiations with Winky.

    I thought Winky-Williams was a fact? (I think Kessler-Winky is a better fight though).

    Winky needs a tune up before taking on Kessler.

    dirrell is the best opponent but he is too young to take that fight and I am fairly sure kessler would rather fight bika
