According to danish newspaper BT Kessler will fight in the US on March 14.
possible opponents listed are: Bika, Andre Dirrell, Allan Green and Andre Ward.
maybe hopkins is scared of airplanes like sissy calzaghe. oh woops joe was able to make it over for the farce of a fight against jones to steal millions of dollars from boxing.
Calzaghe was the draw - Jones the stealer so what are you talking about ????
And why do you think it's ridiculos? Since you use that term I look forward to read about the gulf in oppositions class you think there is.
I think it is ridiculous because Anthony Mundine is Mikkel's best win right now. Anthony Mundine. You could make a case for Andrade I guess, but I would still go with Mundine.
You seem to place a lot of emphasis on taking titles off guys Bat, too much IMO. Kess took a title of Beyer. So what? He is a B level fighter. Guys like Lucas, Siaca, these guys just aren't any good. They are nothing better than solid wins.
Basically, Harding is probably as good a win as Kessler has had. Adamek is without a doubt a better win. Then you got Johnson and Tarver. Two guys you say are old and shot, but both of these guys peaked late in their careers and still presented great challenges.
Basically, I think it is pretty useless debating Kessler with you. I am a fan but I manage to remain objective. You cannot do this.

Maybe you don't know what the **** it is you're talking about.

well one things for sure everyone in boxing especially the harcore fans and alot of the Uk and european fans are breathing a collective sigh of relief, we will finally see just how ood or bad kess is, whether or not he is the real deal or a circus act?
personally i believe that on talent and fighting style alone he is top 10 p4p, however i am a fan of his and realize that he has not beaten enough good competition to truly warrant such a lofty status.
a fight with bika or miranda would be good exposure for him and show his skills to a bigger market and a bigger audience. a fight with bika in particular would make him unavoidable to taylor or froch as he'd have the WBA and IBO and probably the ring magazine belt.
all i can say is thank f*ck hes gonna get his ass over to the states, it been coming for a long time.
personally i think mikkel is looking to unify the SMW divsion and then move up and challenge dawson. he is very big, in fact huge for a SMW and has 2 more years tops at SMW before he will have to move up.
He needs a good action fight against a tough opponent to show he ain't just an overhyped paper champ. I'm gettin as frustrated wit Kessler as I've gotten wit Winky Wright.
Ok, whatever. I just think that is ridiculous but you are entitled to your opinion.

LOL, GTFOH with the Ottke love. That man was horrible.
I.am surely not a fan but he wasn't horrible as a fighter. I would carriers him like Wright - doll as hell but difficult to defeat.
I'm giving U.K. fighters a bad rep actually, at least they fight in 4 different Countries. Whereas Kessler only fights in Denmark....in his back yard....against nobodies....with his mother as the referee.
Ouch! I don't necessarily agree, but that was pretty dadgum funny!! :rofl::rofl:
In America, the Country where the best fighters in the world make their names. (Pacquiao, Mayweather, Barrera, Morales, Ali, Louis, Robinson, Leonard, Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Chavez, De La Hoya, Hagler, Hearns, Duran, Jones, Hopkins, etc, etc, etc....)
So America is the only place the great fighters are.

I think it is yes. I don't think that highly of wins over 40 year old has-beens. Just because they are names doesn't mean they are as good as they were 10 years ago.
But that's just my take. I respect those who think different as I don't think there's a gulf in resumé-difference anyway.
Ok, whatever. I just think that is ridiculous but you are entitled to your opinion.
Are you seriously going to tell me you think Kessler's resume is better than Dawson's? Fuk Bat, I am a Kessler fan, have been since 06, but that is just ridiculous.

Not for me Tarver was a good win as was Johnson. BUT Glenn hasnever beaten elite (Roy aside) adamek was totally dead at 175 and Eric Harding for me is ok.
Calzaghe, Beyer, Andrade, Mundine.........
Ok pretty equal tbh. I just dont like people dogin Kessler he is a heluva fighter he just needs to fight a name next.
So who are all the elite fighters that Anthony Mundine has conquered? How about Siaca? Lucas? Beyer?
What? Oh, thought so.
In which country did Hopkins mostly fight?

We have been over this before but Kessler's wins was over champions. Dawson's wins is against a 40 year old completely shot Tarver who fought stupid, a debateble decision against Johnson who previously lost to (ATG) Sven Ottke, a win over a severely drained Adamek and Harding (WHO?????).

Why would I argue with one of the top-3 most stupid posters on NSB?
cause its fun? you said kessler beat champs but the champs he beat were mundine, siaca, and beyer. surely tarver, johnson, and adamek are better than them. not really open to debate here. kessler the statue is a great fighter though as long as he doesn't have someone who uses movement in the ring with him.
so you are saying eric lucas is better than antonio tarver? can i quote you on this.

It's not fair to criticize Kessler for mainly fighting on home turf when the guy in his sig has barely left the USA though. I'm a Hopkins fan, btw. Just saying. Seems a bit hypocritical.
maybe hopkins is scared of airplanes like sissy calzaghe. oh woops joe was able to make it over for the farce of a fight against jones to steal millions of dollars from boxing.
Wooaaah, hold on there.
Kessler has obviously fought the best guy out of either of them in Calzaghe, but he did lose that fight remember.
Kessler's other notable opponents:
Mundine
Andrade
Beyer
Siaca
Lucas
Dawson's most notable wins:
Johnson
Tarver
Adamek
Harding
So whilst Kess has fought the best fighter out of the two in Calzaghe, Dawson certainly has the stronger resume IMO.
