You are absolute right. As i have stated before, Teampalle turned down the Miranda fight and claimed they had a "Master Plan", which we now know mend Sartison and Häussler to claim the regular WBA-belt. WHY? Who cares about that Kessler now have the "leftovers" from Mundine. Now they claim to wants some big fights in US. Do they think Sartison and Häussler will make fights in US? As you stated, a Miranda fight was send from heaven to make Kessler big in US - and they turned down the fight. Biggest Teampalle mistake ever :-( Problem as i see it is: Kessler and Teampalle don't have the same agenda. Kessler claims to wants big fights in US, Teampalle claims the same, but i fear Teampalle make more money, when Kessler fights in Germany or in Brøndby Hallen in front of 5000 spectators.
How is Bute hype? The guys skills are first rate and he is a good fighter. He receives moderate support and few accolades. The guy is easily the second best SMW in the world. How is that hype? Lets not forget that Bute v Andrade looked like a mismatch for 95% of that fight.
How it should be: Bute fights and beats Larsen in Germany or Denmark (mekes sense to do it in DK as Andrade will be on the undercard against Tsypko and Andrade is popular in Denmark). Taylor fights winner of Froch/Pascal. Kessler fights Inkin. Then winner of WBC match fights Kessler/Inkin winner while Bute/Larsen winner fights Andrade/Tsypko winner in classic. Then the winner of that fight fights the WBA/WBC/WBO champ to unify all titles.
jermain taylor.bute has got some unfinished business with andrade before he moves on to fight anybody else
Hopkins should be top priority. To be a legitimate superstar at Kessler's weight you need to be able to beat a 43 year old Hopkins. Loads of credit and recognition would come Kessler's way in case of a victory. Apart from that it would be entertaining to watch. Also Kessler needs a victory like that on his resume that otherwise lacks big names, except for Calzaghe. Jermain Taylor should come in second. Dawson would be a nice number three. Bute and Froch is 4 and 5 on my list. Most of all I would like to see a rematch with Calzaghe but hey...it's not christmas yet.:yep
i wouldn't mind seeing him put Taylor to sleep, and seeing him get outboxed by Bute would be great too or him vs. Bika
Unification dreams won't happen for a while. All the new champions and their promoters will want to make some cash. It Taylor doesn't fight the winner of Froch-Pascal, this winner will fight an easy optional, then a mandatory. MAYBE after that a unification is possible. Bute has Larsen and Andrade to fight (maybe Taylor but he has no belt). Inkin will himself have an optional and a mandatory. Kessler is ready, he got rid of his mandatory but he's the only one to be ready for a unification. If Taylor fights the Froch-Pascal winner, then it may come sooner. That's the only way. At SMW, Taylor is the key factor. IMO, he won't fight Kessler right now. He will want more experience at his new weight. Hopkins would be good for Kessler, but is Kessler good for Hopkins? Calzaghe won't rematch Kessler. Kessler has to fight Dawson at a catchweight, at 168 or 175. Both fighters weight the same on fightnight, so the weight is not a factor here.
