According to danish newspaper "Ekstra Bladet" Froch has called out Kessler, and Palle/Kessler are considering, whether or not they want this fight. They also have an offer from HBO about a fight in the US on March 14.
I'm not so sure Kessler is going to be Froch's next fight. He's desperate for a fight with Taylor, that it's in Arum's hand to take it. If Taylor avoids the fight again, then that would leave Karo Murat as Froch's mandatory.
Froch has stated that Taylor and Kessler are the top men besides him in the division, so he would want either, but there is no news from Hennesey (Froch's promoter), that Palle has shown any interest, so if it was to happen it would be in the fall of 2009.
Also, Winky has been so inactive that Kessler would probably knock him out. Winky needs a tune up before going into the fight, which would leave Kessler's mandatory as Perdoma? Yes, i've never heard of him too.
I would rather see Froch-Taylor and Kessler-Dawson. Winky-Williams getting signed would also be great.
Considering how much time Froch has spent talking about JT, he would look very bad if he ended up turning Taylor down in order to fight someone else.
I love your avatar, That is some funny stuff cant help but lol,
HBO has been turning down more fights recently, I think they are now playing hardball with the promoters that's why next year is looking so good. I don't see how they will be able to justify paying for Dawson vs Tarver 2, like I said it makes zero sense.
The fight doesn't make sense but some fights don't, the fight would be better than something like Pavlik-Lockett, as I said, maybe they'll try to push Calzaghe-Dawson, although it would be great if they would push for Calzaghe-Dawson with Kessler-Dawson.
Then it depends on who you believe.
And he mentioned it again here.

Dan Rafael posted after it was brought up.
JKGaucho (DC): Why would HBO be interested in Dawson vs. Tarver II? First wasn't a great fight and did terrible business. Tarver will only be older. A wasted date if that fight is made.
SportsNation Dan Rafael: They're not interested in it to my knowledge.

:wtf:
where did you hear that rumor? what happened in the first fight that begs for this rematch?
Steve Kim reported it here

A Froch fight would probably be more significant than whatever fight is being offered on HBO but if US exposure is what he wants, then the HBO fight is the way to go, I have a feeling it's against Winky. I wonder if this means HBO are willing to do a double header on March 14th, Dawson-Tarver 2 is rumored for that date.

Steve Kim at maxboxing says it's a definite possibility. Maybe they'll use the double header to promote a Dawson-Kessler fight or a Dawson-Calzaghe fight.

This is the first Im hearing about this. WTF Dawson-Tarver 2 for what. At what point in the fight did it seem like an immediate rematch was necessary. Maybe we should make Pacman-Diaz 2 next, in fact I would rather see ODLH-Pacman 2 over that shit.
Palle says "it is not Winky"!!
Interesting, I'd love to see Kessler fight Dawson, anyways, any opponent better than his last 2 will be welcome. Thanks for the update.
That fight makes no sense and I read somewhere HBO wasn't interested in it, Froch vs Taylor/Kessler - Kessler vs Winky/Taylor would be something I want to see.
