Mikkel Kessler: "If Joe Calzaghe Won't, I'll Fight Pavlik"

[Boofdatruth]

LOL, Kessler is a nobody. If he wants Pavlik, he comes to middleweight. Who the **** is Kessler to dictate the undisputed middleweight champion of the world to come up to super middle for a fight for the worthless WBA belt. Get the **** out of here you pathetic bum. Taylor knocks Kessler the **** out.

There is nothing undisputed about Pavlik. Arthur Abraham has plenty to say about who is undisputed.

That was not a beatdown. Did you watch the fight? He was competitive throughout, he just couldn't adapt to Calzaghe's style....not enough experience. And Pavlik would be the PERFECT fight for Kessler. It would bring him further into the American spotlight, give him a shot at another title, and I'm telling you....the fans will go ****ing nuts about this fight. The styles of these two will make one of the best fights you could hope to see in your lifetime. And win or lose, I think both will come away looking better.

I agree. Kessler fought 40Cal very well. I feel that Pav should fight abraham to prove himself at 160. Pav is talking about all of these other guys, and he does not have all of the titles at 160.

Kessler will beat Pavlik by a clear decision and the hype train will come to a grinding halt.

i hate it when you people(europeans) state that pavlik is hype. if so, please tell me a few reasons why kessler is not a hype job? IMO pavlik's resume blows kessler's. I truly believe that kessler is a hype job.

1. Kessler first step up in competition agants a grade A fighter was Joe. Joe soundly beat kessler. Kessler did not show a good account of himself and a rematch would be no different.

2. Kessler is more interested in picking up trinkets instead of fighting the best available. Like when he ducked miranda. Not saying that Kessler wont beat miranda, but he didnt want his bounce back fight versus a guy that could knock him out.

3. Has Kessler's chin been tested like Kelly's has been? I want you to think about that. A Miranda fight would have answered those questions. But Kessler is not interested in answering questions. He wants the WBA Intercontinental title like it means something.

4. Kessler's best wins were against B plus fighters. Mundine is another hype job and a B plus fighter. Which btw is what the same people argue against Miranda being an elite fighter.

5. Kessler lost to a guy that struggled against a 43 year old. If he was so good, he would have given Joe fits.


your turn

Props to Kessler for wanting the best!

Yeah, a minute ago everyone was calling him a coward for not taking the Miranda fight.

It's called lineage. Pavlik beat the man who beat the man. Pavlik is the undisputed middleweight champion of the world. This is not an opinion. Personally, I detest Pavlik for fighting Lockett and now potentially Rubio, but he is the undisputed middleweight champion of the world.

Awww, is Kessler scurred of the Pantera?

Any fighter scared of Miranda doesn't belong in boxing.

I know about the lineage thing, but Arthur abraham has a title. There is nothing undisputed about this man. Absolutely nothing. If he fights Rubio, and not Abraham, Pav fans are going to have a problem with me.

Then what you are saying is that Kessler doesn't belong in boxing. You do realize that he was signed to fight Miranda and then backed out of the fight because he has a case of the willies.

Taylor can't knock anyone out. When was the last time he did that, before he stepped up his comp? For the record, Cotto has a title, and Floyd was the undisputed champ. Cotto won his title based off of Baldomir being stripped. People are calling for Floyd's head because he didn't defend against Cotto and retired. But you call Pav undisputed champ because of lineage, when Abraham is more than capable of beating him?????? wow

Who cares about belts in today's day and age of sanctioning body shenanigans. Who has Abraham ever beat? A robbery vs. Miranda is his best win? The same Miranda that you devalue with every chance? Abraham is another nobody with a clean record because he fights absolute nobodies in a country known for its boxing corruption.
