    Kessler could only save himself by knocking out Winky, but Winky isn't taking that fight.

        I support that.

        I do however doubt Kessler changing mangager unless Palle's illness gets fatal. Not even a hospitalization for a seriuos heart-condition during the Calzaghe-week in Cardiff could convince Palle to quit or Kessler to make a change.

          even Charlie Zelenoff's "manager" would be able to get Kessler a date in the states.

            I doubt Kessler would risk fighting in Germany.

                This must mean that Kessler will not fight a big american name like Taylor or Lacy.

                The field is narrowing down. Maybe Haussler, Mundine (unlikely), Larsen or perhaps OTTKE who's searching for a new opponent after the Michalschewski fight fell trough.
                OTTKE!!!!!!! oh my god! i'd love to see that lackey get the holy crp kicked out of him!

                you know i've rewatched the calzaghe/kessler bout a number of times
                and don't know if i'm the only one that thinks this but i think kessler was mentally broken by calzaghe and is being matched up very carefully.
                can't see ottke wanting anything to do with kessler. to dangerous.

                  I think you may be right. Some fighters (Naseem Hamed springs to mind) can't handle losing their unbeaten records or being defeated full stop. They go into psychological meltdown and find it difficult to motivate themselves.

                  Perhaps the constant stream of aborted deals and rumous reflects the frustrations of Kessler's management team.

                    Can Kessler leave Teampalle ?. Mads Larsen and Rudi Marcussen tried, but as long as they where on any ranking list, they belong to Teampalle. Mads Larsen had to be inactive for more than 3 years to be able to sign with Sauerland. Marcussen haven't fought sinds the Kessler - Andrade event.
