    Bring them on. I don't hear anyone in Kessler's own division calling him out - do you?

    Why doesn't Taylor find some balls and call Kessler out?

    Kessler has said many times that he will fight ANYONE that can make 168. That is a call out to anyone. Let's see if there is just one who has the balls to follow up on the challenge?

    That is what happens when the Americans of Kessler's own size lacks the balls to fight him. Ask them.

    Who said Joe ducked anyone. The man just fought last weekend. Can he breath for a while. Now everyone is making a line to fight Joe. Fighters are calling him, texting him, and even writing letters. He is where Oscar is now. He does not have to fight for a title ever again. He fights on his terms and should fight for the highest pay. Not many could do this. Kessler should be ashamed for ducking the Chad fight not Joe. What if Joe beats all you want to mention, then what it is not enough he has to fight Vitali or Vlad. He is not getting any younger. If all think Chad is the best available fighter, then that should be Joe's last fight at Whales.

    Taylor has fight on Saturday. Why the hell would he call out Kessler when he's fighting on Saturday? Carl Froch would fight Kessler. However, it doesn't seem like Kessler is interested in that fight. It looks like he wants to fight either blownup MWs or if he goes to 175, he wants to fight old men.

    No, that's what happens when you chase after paper titles.

    You don't even believe that yourself. And why shouldnt Taylor call Kessler out just because he had a fight? Kessler called Calzaghe out before and after every single of the 10 fights before Calzaghe fight.

    Let's wait to see what Taylor says.

    There's more fighters than just Taylor in the divsion. Taylor is just coming up from MW and has lost his last two fights. That's pretty pathetic if that's the guy Kessler is targeting. For a guy who's supposed to be, hands down, the best fighter in the division I would think he would have his sights set higher. But then again, Taylor is a big step up from the Haussler's and the Sartison's of the sport.

    Should Kessler and Dawson clean out their divisions and then meet, or should they meet and then clean out their divisions?

    It's a rhetorical question, of course they should clean out their divisions first.

    What are you on about? IMO Taylor is damaged goods, he won't reign long whether or not Kessler sticks around.

    And what don't you get about Dawson coming down to kick Kessler's ass at a catchweight/168 lbs?
