Kessler fans

[pink panther]

I can tell. The way he maxamized his potential paydays over the course of his career to date is really telling of that.

ha ha ha very good - he actually has... by knocking out those so called bums he has ensured he remained at the top of the tree - Joe has always had a very good following and Warren has made sure that he provides the venues to satisfy the following - lot of those so called bums/mandatories (which ever you prefer) over the last eight ten years = cosy little nest egg.

Kessler is going to be a force to reckon with. Is he from the former West German side? Seems like a lot of ex-communist places are producing the most prospects above 160 lbs.

Kessler isn't German despite the name.
He's from Denmark.
He's half british by the way (english mother).

"I understand and sympathise with your frustration that Mikkel Kessler will not be given the opportunity to box a true champion but Kessler has little to offer in contrast to the American greats.

Kessler hasn’t boxed anyone of particularly good stature, is practically unknown in the United States of America and has a small following of fans.

It is Joe Calzaghe’s objective to win over his American audience and defeat globally recognised boxers like Manfredo, Taylor and Hopkins. Once Joe Calzaghe has achieved these objectives he will then consider taking Kessler’s supermiddle weight titles. With a monolithic following of Americans and Britons the Calzaghe v Kessler fight would then gain an audience of monumental proportions but until then Kessler will have to wait".

So, Calzaghe wants to impress an American audience by fighting in Wales! Great idea!

Kessler will have to fight Jermaine Taylor one day. Kessler just needs more exposure in the US.

the way that the wbc is taylor will move up for calzaghe lose but somehow is the mandatory for kesslers belt

Since when is unifying the division with all four belts not major. Taking the Manfredo fight is B.S. The Kessler fight would've been for history & the winner would bring all of that to the table in their next fight. It goes to show JC is follwing the easiest path. It's sad that he's wasting his momentum from the Lacy fight on Manfredo.

"American Greats"...

Thats a good one. Best excuse I've ever heard for ducking Kessler

[Jcsuper]

Come on guys, Cazaghe is freaking ducking Kessler.

He has the chance to unify ALL the belts in the division, but he chose to fight Manfredo... That's just bull****, if it was BHop or Taylor it would be ok for me, but Manfredo... Come on.

I don't even want to watch this fight after the ****** way he fought against Bika. I don't want to hear something else about Calzaghe until he fights a real fighter. Kessler, is really a best fighter, and Joe knows that. If they ever fight, JC will be outclassed.

I can't see Calzaghe being outclassed by anybody.
