For now.:vonnecunt Actually I am getting worried, maybe he just had enough and cant find the motivation for fighting bums until he makes the rankings. :roll:
From a Danish site: Mogens Palle: "I think Mikkel will get back in the ring this April or May." He (Palle) is excited about the outcomes of Pavlik/Taylor II, as well as Hopkins/Calzaghe. I don't see how the Calzaghe/Hopkins fight would be interesting if Kessler looks to get back in the ring in April or May, since neither Calzaghe or Hopkins is ready for another fight so soon. Besides, I don't think either of them would want to fight Kessler. Now Pavlik or Taylor is pretty interesting in my opinion. On the other hand, I don't know if Kessler has enough recognition in the US to make a fight with either of them possible. I don't really think so to be honest though.
Pipe dreams, I'm afraid. The winner of Pavlik v. Taylor will not fight Kessler and neither will the winner or loser of Calzaghe v. Hopkins. Can anyone see Taylor, if he loses again, fight Kessler? I can't.
Your logic is fine, but I have a feeling that that team Palle is using all of their ressources to get a named fighter for Kessler. Trying to keep his stock high and toward the American based market. Larsen doesn´t fit into that profile, so he is not in the picture at the moment. Don´t expect Kessler in the ring before june/July!
Sure, why not? - Taylor would need to do something impressive to get back into the mix, although it may be a mistake for him.
Kessler has undergone hand surgery after the calzaghe fight, so it takes some time before we see him back in the ring. I dont think he will be back in the ring before June!
Look at it from Taylors point of view.. Beating Kessler would just be beating the man who lost to Calzaghe and then think about him only having a minor chance at beating him. It would not make sense for him, as much as id like to see him smashed by Mikkel.
http://sporten.tv2.dk/article.php/id-10333836.html Kessler says that he is willing to make his next fight in a new weight class, if a fight can´t be made in SMW. Besides, he promises to be Worldchamp again. A fight should be arranged within 4-5 months.
Yes. The article says he's willing to go up or down in weight. :skull Personally, I just don't see him go down in weight. Looking at photos of him, there is no weight to drop. I'll bet my right arm he'll go up. Now, what fights will people wan't to see if he goes up?
I don't think he can or should go down. What he means, though, is that he would be willing to try, if that's what it takes to fight Taylor or Pavlik. I guess he's hoping for catchweight...although I see no reason Pavlik or Taylor would or should agree... So...it will have to be UP...I guess.
I've said it before and i've said it again; Go fight Edison Miranda, Sakio Bika, Allan Green, Jeff Lacy, Mads Larsen, Anthony Mundine, heck even Peter Manfredo, it just can't be true that neither of these fights can be made?
