    According to danish tabloid paper BT a fight between Taylor and Kessler seems to be possible this fall.

    "I don't think it'll be Jermain's next fight, but Mikkel Kessler is definitely a futere opponent. I will call Mogens (Kessler's promoter, red) in the next few days because this is a fight we both want. But I think both Jermain and Mikkel needs another fight before they should meet" according to Lou Dibella who BT talked to.

    Last week Kessler, Palle and Dibella met.

    "I got a good impresion of Mogens and Mikkel. Our conversations were positive and it doesn't hurt that Kessler is a good looking guy - this will help his name here (USA).
    He is a great boxer with a lot of star quality. I have to tell you: I'm hooked on Kessler. This fight needs to be made"

    Words from Dibella.

    Cheers

    Lets wait before this is reported outside of Denmark.

    I am sceptical Taylor's management would be stupid enough to do this, unless they were getting options on Kessler. Mogens is getting older.

    Kessler must be one of the only fights Taylor can take for decent money.

    Kessler will dominate Taylor. Not a smart fight to take.

    Based on what?
    The fact that Kesslers mind hit the shithouse against Joe...couple this with long inactivity...and somehow Kessler would beat a warrior with quicker hand speed, and equal power?.....It would'nt be that easy for either fighter friend:deal
