I've read a rumour on a danish website that the expected opponent of Kessler's March fight in the US is believed to be Winky Wright.
It's a rumour for sure but I wonder if it's plausible that this fight is in the making.
Anyways I'll add a poll.
I cannot believe that Winky wants a top guy after such a long lay-off. It seems like an ill-advised move. Anyways he'll show some big cojones if he takes on Kessler without a tune-up.
That's the word right now, since he injured his hand he doesn't want to fight a tuneup then wait around a couple of more months for a big fight, he wants to jump right back in there, whether it's a smart move, we'll find out in March.

yeah, winky's asking for trouble imho if he fight kessler without a tune up
So you are saying the only good Asian fighter is Pacquiao? One of the best young fighters in the world is Nonito Donaire. It proves you are not a real boxing fan, if you've never heard of him! Then there's Nietes, Sakata, Hasagawa, Penalosa, Korobi, etc. who all have world titles. If you "prefer the athleticism generally displayed by those in the lighter weight classes" why haven't you heard of these boxers?
And if you think Pacman is the only good Asian boxer, then you couldn't have watched the Olympics this year!
Racism is defined as the belief that one race is superior to others. mt102879, you are clearly a racist, because you consider one race to have "superior athleticism" as Max Kellerman puts it. I believe boxing ability has to do with training, desire to succeed, dedication, heart, learned skills, etc. and that race has nothing to do with it.
Dude, I live in the US. I've only seen one Donaire fight where he KO'ed Vic (who is another non-black fighter I like). The rest of the guys I've never even seen fight. Maybe I saw Penalosa on an undercard once. At any rate they aren't big names on a worldwide scale and probably for good reason. How often do you see posts about these guys on here?
I don't keep track of amateur boxing. I can't even recall 3 names off of the US team from the Olympics let alone fighters from other countries. Yes, there were some good fighters from Asian countries but it's kind of hard to be a fan of someone who you'll probably never see fight again.
I can't help but laugh when people break out the websters definition of racism but that's another topic. First, please give a source where Max Kellerman has said that black people are athletically superior. Second, your accusing me of something you have no proof of. I stated that I do prefer athletic boxers and said Pacman was in my top 5, yet someone how that translated into "I only like athletic black fighters". Third, your making a hypocrite of yourself. You like to downplay the skill of black fighters by constantly claiming a "reach advantage" is the key to their success.
Right now, Kessler by decision. It's entirely possible that it's Winky because I read he's going straight to a top opponent at 160-168 in March so it definitely could be Kessler.
Winky seriously needs a warm up fight to get rid of the ring rust, it would be a mistake imo to go straight into a fight with Kessler but even so it would be an intresting match up.

I agree.
Honestly, I come here to discuss boxing, but this nut mt102879 has some kind of agenda and always starts harassing me.
LOL
Oh, poor Tunney. You want to have your cake and eat it too. You want to come here and spew your racist agenda and not be criticized for it. Not going to happen, sorry.
mt102879, again you use the "Ad Hominum" argument. :lol1:
By the way, you did say you are white. I find it rather strange that I've never seen a single positive comment about a white boxer from you, considering most of the titles in the bigger weight divisions are currently held by white boxers. For that matter, you never have anything good to say about Asian or Hispanic boxers, who have most of the titles in the lighter weight divisions. All the Ring Champions are either Hispanic or white. Yet you are 100% focused on black men.
What does that tell us about you?
Uh, no. I've never said I'm white. If you can show me where I've said that I will send over all my points and never post on this forum again.
I'm glad you learned a new word today, BTW. Maybe now you can take the time to read about it.
There's only a handful of meaningful white names out there. Let's see....there's Calzaghe, Klitschko bros., Kessler, Pavlik, a few others? Not exactly a large pool to choose from and I'm not really a fan of them based on what they do in the ring. I like the Klitschko bros. but I don't really follow the heavyweight division too closely because I prefer the athleticism generally displayed by those in the lighter weight classes.
What Asian fighters? Pacquiao....and? He's actually one of my top 5 fighters.
Latino fighters? Cotto, JMM, Juanma, Barrera (one of my all time favs), and more.
Since when do the Ring Magazine titles have any reflection on who's popular or even the best? What's even more laughable is that currently half of those titles are vacated.
Anything else you want to accuse me of?
U C u n t s get a room would ya!!!
This is about Kessler vs Winky... I hope it doesint happen to be honest...**** winky has been off so long its almost like he doesint deserve Kessler!!!
Boxing is a frustrating sport to follow in the highest league but it sure is exciting...slow as it may be to dish up!!!
No, most people are not racist. You've accused me of that repeatedly, since some of my favorites happen to be white. Anyone who reads through you posts will see you have quite a fascination with black men - is it an indication of homosexual attraction? I'm not sure.
But one thing is certain, most of what YOU ever do here is hate on European fighters and their fans, although you claim to be white. It must be horrible being you - despising the person you see when you look in the mirror, and wishing you were something you can never be.
Maybe you can do what Michael Jackson did to himself, in reverse?
Whoa...wait....what???
I've NEVER given my background on here. I know how much you'd love to pigeonhole me but I'm not telling, sorry.
It's gotten to the point that your just making up shit about me because you have nothing. How you've come to the conclusion that I hate European fighters and therefore I hate white fighters is beyond me.
I've never accused anyone of being racist simply because some of their favorite fighters are white. I'm accusing you of being racist based on the piles of evidence to suggest you are including posting on a white supremacist forum. It's not like half of the forum doesn't already agree.
By the way, some of your favorites happen to be white...like ALL of them? Oh right, you have a couple token black fighters you claim to be a fan of just so you don't appear racist. You know, it would be one thing if there was a logical reason why most of your favorite fighters were white such as if white fighters made up a majority of the big names in boxing or you were from a country that produced mainly white boxers, but that's not the case. Your essentially a cheerleader for anyone who happens to be white regardless of how mediocre they may be or where they are from. It's quite telling that with all the great black talent that has come from the US in the last 20 years your a fan of none.

Tunney your defintion of not being a fan of any European fighter means you hate Europeans :lol1:
No it means what it says you are not a fan but that does not make you racist and it does not mean you have a grudge against European fighters.
i'm new to this fun little debate but tunney are you claiming roy jones is not shot? it's universally recognized that he is very shot. i mean look at him he just stands there and takes punches.also johnson and tarver are not shot as you can see by their performances in the ring. old yes but not shot. tarver just dominated woods for the ibf title. roy jones hasn't been fighting on the world title level for 5 years.
Well...uh...that only proves that the general public is racist and out to discredit Calzaghe! They're probably all gay and have a strong homosexual desire for black men, too.

Very weak response, mt102879.
Better turn it over to Danc1984.
Dude, I've tried giving a respectful counter argument on more than one occasion in the past. You don't listen. When your argument gets shattered you attack the person's character to rationalize they don't know what they're talking about. You call them "gay", "racist", "paranoid", etc. What you do is the definition of an ad hominem attack.
Take a look in the mirror:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem
Danc1984, you and mt102879 are fast becoming the biggest jokes on here.
90% of your posts you're either discrediting a European fighter, or harassing me (accusing me of being a racist, insulting, etc).
mt102879 mainly comes on here these days to harass me (call me racist, goes on about some other pro-white website, insults me, accuse me of being sexually insecure, etc.). One day though, he did get into a discussion about 1980s sneakers. :lame:
Other people have better reasons for posting here, and unlike you guys they are real boxing fans.
ROFL. Ok dude whatever, would you mind chucking me back on ignore please?
And this was my answer, mt102879:
Let's get this straight: if you hate a fighter, you'll say all the opponents he's beaten were "old" or "shot" regardless of their age. After all, since you believe that fighter is inferior, in your mind there's no way the fighter you hate could beat anyone any good UNLESS he is old and/or shot!
But if you like a fighter, their opponents are never "old" or "shot" regardless of how much they have slowed down or what age they are! When your favorites like Dawson beat old fighters like Tarver you'll say those are great wins on his resume!!
mt102879, you and Danc1984 hate white fighters and will use whatever you can to discredit them.
So keep ganging up, you cowardly scumbags. You are becoming like a tag team - but too weak to fight on your own.
You can say any fighter is shot at any age, or say he is prime at any age, but it doesn't necessarily mean they are or are not. It's just your OPINION, and your opinions are always slanted against European boxers and their fans.
Most of us come here to discuss boxing, but you two just come here to discredit European fighters and antagonize their fans. :nonono: I never see you score fights on line, or discuss fights when they are on, or post in the videos section.
Now if Joe Calzaghe has retired, I'm sure Kessler will be receiving a lot more hate from you two.
What? I don't score the fights while they are happening or post in the videos section so I'm not a true boxing fan? I download fights from the video section all the time. We don't get the majority of the fights in Europe or the US out here in Australia so I generally wait until the next day and dl them. How can I score a fight if I can't watch it live?
Kessler receiving hate from me? Since when was this happening? I'm a Kessler fan, there is noone at 168 I would go for against Kess right now. Calzaghe doesn't receive hate from me either. I have regularly given him credit on a great career.
You are a joke. There is barely a poster on here, aside from your racist buddies, who places any value on your opinion. Everyone just pretty much laughs at you. You are a clown.
OMFG
L...O...L
It might take me a while just to ingest how udderly ridiculous this post is. I'm honestly not even sure I'm going to be able to respond.
