>>>The Mikkel Kessler Warring Longboat<<<

I don&#180;t think Palle will let him go. Team palle is known for making contracts that makes it almost impossible for Boxers to get out.
Besides, Kessler is by far the best Boxer he has, and maybe will ever get. I don&#180;t see it happening.

But who should he fight next? I would personally love to see him whack Mundine again:bbb

 

I really think that he should whatever is to possible to get rid of Palle. He has done well, but Palle can only take him so far. But he is a great fighter, he just couldn't keep up Calzaghe's pace. I think that a rematch would be exciting, though it seems unlikely to happen, if he had fought more aggressively instead of waiting for Calzaghe slip, I think he would have a good chance of winning. JC won fair and square, just saying that the match was competitive, and that I think that a future match would be even more so.

Though JC won't give him a rematch (understandable - he is going for his legacy by now), there is still a lot for him to do. What he really needs to do is to cash in on the name-factor that has been added since his fights with Andrade and Calzaghe. If he got himself an american promoter he would be in a better position to get a quick comeback-fight.

 

I can't wait to see him fight again. Great technical boxer. He will get even better as a result of his loss to Calzaghe. Kessler has the potential to be an ATG.

 

Nice post.....:good

 

i love kessler. hes still a major player..

 

I think Kessler will establish himself as one of the best fighters of this generation. Calzaghe/Kessler II will never, and should never happen, so this leaves Kessler to fight Bute, Froch, Inkin, Lacy, Brahmer, Green, Pavlik, Taylor, Abraham, etc.

I see him becoming the undisputed champion at 168 in a couple years, then moving up to 175 and capturing a belt. Perhaps he could become undisputed there as well.

The future is BRIGHT for Mikkel Kessler!

 

Again another good sensible post......Lets hope this excellent fighter goes on prove us right.........:good

 

Except Calzaghe. :yep

 

kessler vs bute for the ibf title.........who would you pick:huh

 

It think what Kessler really wants is to go boxing in the US. Can someone in the US please get his act together and bring him over. IMO he needs to build on the massive Wales-Calzaghe experience with a new coach or at least a new assistent-coach and possibly new/better management suited for the US. :good

That so many says a rematch with Calzaghe is unlikely makes me slightly dissapointed because rematches of this nature is part of what makes boxing such a great sport with a briliant history. Also, it would help Kessler a whole lot with his motivation to have a rematch in sight down the line. Based on some on Mikkels statements right after the JC fight, I believe Mikkel was slightly disappointed when JC more or less ruled out a rematch immediately after the fight. It was statements like "...I wouldn't have offered him (JC) a rematch either....." among others that made me think so.

 

I'd also like to see a Calzaghe - Kessler rematch

 

I don't think this will happen. Theres more money to be made against a big US name for JC. Not to mention I just can't see how Kessler could beat Calzaghe.

I would really love to see Joe fight Pavlik if he beats Taylor.

 

Joe shouldn't (and most probably won't) fight Kess again. He doesn't have time to mess around, he should just continue onwards and upwards to 175, then quit while he's ahead.
