Im not interested in Kessler in the states honestly. I know what kind of guy turns down a fight with Chad Dawson. Stay in denmark. I heard Kessler was even looking for an american trainer. We dont need him over here. He wont sell tickets.
How can there be a date set in stone but not an opponent, venue, or even the skeleton of a card? :blood
Wright would be a dumb fight, it would be much Like Pavlik vs Hopkins...For a guy like Kessler that isnt a multi-layered fighter, fighting Wright would be a nightmare. He will take away Kesslers best weapon, and as show in the fight with Calzaghe he doesnt have a plan B. Lacy would be a good fight, a fight that he would win and have a good shot at looking good doing so. Bika isnt a US based fighter so if its true that they want a US based fighter he should be on the list. Green would actaully be the most dangerous fight here...Not the Green is the best fighter, but I think that many fans have been fooled by Greens lost to Miranda, and fall to consider the fact that Green had an illness that could have killed him if uncheck for much longer then it was...Green is big and many would be looking passed him, maybe even Kessler...This is a high risk low reward fight, big gap on the list. Hopkins-See the breakdown of Wright, same thing. Ward :bart Im sure that Kessler dont want to be a guest at his coming out party...Tooo Fast...Although with a fighter Like ward it may be smart to get him before he really gets started...I dont think that Wards camp will let him take this fight right now. Taylor may be the best option, but I really dont think that it would be a fight that could get the kind of Money that both guys would want to make the fight at this point. I think that its a 50/50 fight Taylor has enough mental breaks in a fight to allow Kessler to do some great work, and it would be a big win for either guy. Of the fighters on that List i think that Lacy, Wright and Green could happen in March. Wright and Green shouldnt happen if Palle is smart...so that only leaves Lacy:good. They wouldnt have to pay Lacy much, and he would be willing to fight cuz he has little to lose, Kessler would most likely look great in beatting him, unless of course he doesnt win. But all and all I dont think that he will be fighting any of them. My guess is it will been a lesser known none dangerous fighter...Shaun George would be a decent pick, or most likely someone like David Banks.
If the goal is to make a splash and look good doing it then Lacy is the guy. You can forget the Taylor fight, not enough money.
When did Chad Dawson offer Kessler a fight? Where and on what date? How much money did Dawson offer Kessler?
Any of those American based names look ok to me, except Hopkins. Well, guys like Green and Bika aren't exactly outstanding, but I suppose its a step up from Haussler and its a bonus its in the US.
Bika would be nice, although if I were HBO I'd make a Bika-Andrade HBO BAD. I think Kessler-Wright is possible, but it's definitely a bad fight for the comebacking Winky.
March is pretty far off. Why isn't Andre Dirrell on the list? Not that it's a real possibility but his name certainly deserves mention if Palle's looking for a good American opponent for Kessler. Allan Green would be ok. His career has kind of been stuck in neutral since he KO'd Codrington so why not? Kessler's top dog at 168 so there'd be no shame in losing to him. It's not like Green has tons of options at this point anyway.
i am glad he is fighting in yankland but i hope it is a big name or there is no point in going there as no fans will show up.
Kessler would probably fight Taylor. Fighting Lacy doesn't make any sense. Lacy is going to be working in WalMart very soon.
I have heard it could be Allen Green. In a way it could be a good fight, but has Green really deserved a title shot against the no 1?
