apperently DiBella and Palle is meeting face-to-face


I believe taylor vs kessler would have a better chance of happening for the simple fact kessler would go to the US to fight him where Calzaghe seems to want everybody to run to him.

Your probably right. I doubt Taylor goes overseas. Taylor is a lot like Calzaghe though because he likes to have most of his fights in his home state of Arkansas.

Nah, the only reason it would have a better chance of happening is because Kessler's a much lower risk fight and he brings 2 belts.

It would help Jermain's rep to fight a super middle with a punch after fighting two feather-fisted light middles

I think so.....

-Kessler is getting increasingly more exposure in the US.
-Kessler holds two major belts.
-JC's wbo belt is not recognized in the US, therefore no one will risk a loss over it.
-Warren tries to drag the fight to Britain. American fighters are afraid to get robbed there.
-Kessler does not represent as big a risk as JC. (common american opinion) Especially not if the fight is in the US.

[Cletus Funk]

Of course Warren's going to try to get the fight in the UK if he can but
Joe's said several times that he wants to fight in the US so I don't think location will ultimately decide if this fight happens or not. At least Warren's now offering the fight to Taylor for September so we'll see if he really wants it.

You have to wonder when Taylor, or indeed Kessler, are going to make an offer to Calzaghe rather than the other way around. Both seem to be shouting terms (unrealistic in both cases) but neither are actually proactively trying to make this happen.

Come on lads - you want Calzaghe to travel to the US .... make him an offer.

[PunchDrunk]

Actually Palle offered Calzaghe a fight against Kessler, for $3.43 million way before Warren returned the favor with an offer of just over half that amount.

You don't hear Warren running his mouth about turning that down, do you?

Firstly, Calzaghe can make more than that in the UK so, just like nobody would expect Taylor to travel to the UK for less than he can make in Arkansas, nobody can expect Calzaghe to travel for that.

Secondly, he'd never fight Kessler in Copenhagen for the same reasons that Hopkins wouldn't fight Calzaghe in the UK.

Why can't Palle offer a fight in the US or UK?

It looks like Palle is as big a crook as Warren. Boxing dosn't need those greedy ****wits.
