Kessler vs Joppy in may:kessler is going to retire joppy
Joppy is going to get absolutely mauled. I hope he's getting good money

Joppy won't get mauled too bad because as soon as he gets hit flush, he will run and grab his nuts the rest of the fight like he did against Taylor. I hope Joppy gets brutally KO'd!
I don't see this fight happening at all. Joppy is too shot. I think people will come to there senses before sending Joppy to his death.
Kessler hasn't even signed a deal to fight Joppy yet,Joppy name come as possible opponent,but Roy.jones.jr name came also up as possible opponent
Why would Tarver fight Kessler when he could be earning all that money against Hopkins, Jones etc
True. Can't argue against the money factor. Kessler's everpresent problem.
But if Tarver would beat Kessler as easy as you say AND Kessler is actually willing. Wouldn't Kessler be a nice walkover preparation fight?
Only thing is i bet Tarver isn't taking Kessler quite as lightly as you do - AFTER seeing a few videos.
That's why Tarver first called out Kessler (as a walkover) - but then turned around on a plate, when Kessler accepted and Tarver had had the chance to see a few vid's.
Maybe if he'd bothered to check out Kessler first, Tarver would have saved himself the embarrasment.
I agree with the risk-reward thing with Kessler, he is good from what I've seen and he has the style to beat Joe or at least make it a close fight. I mean prospects won't fight him because if they lose it sets them back two years, Joe won't fight him because Kessler is not a big enough name yet and he has about 3 fights left max, Lacy probably won't fight him for a long time future because if he loses again soon its goodnight and goodbye Jeff. Nobody can get a fight with Beyer who has a legitimate chance of beating Beyer.
hummm.................it similarites between Kessler and Joes careers here.
Although to be fair in a few years time, Brahmer,Froch and Bute are going to be in the mix if they stay undefeated, hopefully with a reborn Jeff Lacy. Super fights!
Tarver would beat Kessler with no problems I have seen tapes of Kessler and although I have to admit he isnt a bad boxer he would never beat a inform Tarver, Joe would have his way with this guy aswell just like he did with another over hyped fighter Jeff Lacy
If Tarver would beat Kessler why declined to meet Kessler???????
All Kessler can do right now is to stay busy, hope for US exposure and wait for Calzaghe to vacate, then unify IBF or WBO. Nobody will fight him right now. Beyer will stay put in Germany and retire as champion.
I think that would be a terrible fight. Last time i saw joppy was when he faught Taylor and he looked awfull. He hasnt faught anyone worth mentioning in his last two fights. Why would Kesller want to fight him?
Tarver's people were looking for a 168 fighter to get Tarver's name into the mix when Lacy was at his hottest and they approached Kessler with an offer. Palle accepted, but then Tarver got to see a few tapes of Kessler and declined to meet Kessler
If Kessler beats the hell out of Bute, knocks Frog out or outboxes Inkin for 12 rounds all people here will say is: "just another over-hyped over-protected fighter getting exsposed" - furtermore many of them are too exspensive as most are vital for their promotors who aren't going to damage their goods
yeah the only thing that is going to come of this fight, other than joppy getting beat down again, is exposure for Kessler over here in america.
getting his name out into US homes.
he could be fighting someone who isnt shot like joppy, but at least joppy is known buy the general boxing public.
i just hope joppy doesn't get hospitalized or end up in a mental ward from brain damage from taking beating after beating.
Kessler is atm a risk/reward nightmare, that's why he has a very hard time getting the other top-contenders into the ring. Lacy's trainer said even before he got beat by Calzaghe, that Lacy wasn't ready - Calzaghe offers 50.000$ for Kessler to come to UK to fight, which is that same as saying no - Kessler has offered to fight Beyer in Germany for free, and they still declined

So as you can see from the list there aren't that many opponents that are: free, known in the US and willing to fight Kessler
