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

[Boofdatruth]

What the hell does Kessler offer Pavlik right now compared to the business in his own division (abraham, Wright, possibly Sturm) or even Calzaghe who is atleast a bigger draw. Kessler's management completely botches their attempts thus far at making a fight with anyone and then they decide their gonna callout Pavlik? What a joke.

Yeah, and Pavlik... who has unfinished business at 160, is calling the light heavy champ out. That is a joke too. Cal told him to pad his resume, and we'll fight later. They called 40Cal scared. lol That was a joke too. Don't justify Pav calling out Cal because of his age as a more legit offer, none of these guys are popular in the states yet. Pav might make more money over seas than here in America.

If calzaghe has 1 or 2 fights left in him, there won't be time for Pavlik to pad his resume. Also, Calzaghe wanted Pavlik as well. IMO Calzaghe decided he would end his career safely with a bigger(and safer) name.

Taylor Vs Kessler

I really want to see Taylor vs. Kessler.

Good call mate...this would be a barnstormer.
JT would really test Kessler.
Could go either way...but again JT is a MW.
Kess is to big I reckon to drop to MW...he would need a ton of laxatives lol.

I'm just saying its silly for him to think he should call out pavlik. Pavlik will fight calzaghe b/c he's undefeated and considered to be the man to beat and b/c he's about to retire and he won't have the opportunity in years to come. Kessler isn't well known in the states and he's not a MW.. If Kessler is as good as he says he should beat up some SMWs and get back on top. Cal will be gone soon and he can be king if its really in his abilities which it very well may be.

Cool bro...point taken.
Kess isint calling him out tho man but im hearing what you are saying.
If Pav could beat Joe...jeez he would be the man...and its the money fight too that everybody wants now...im really dissapointed with RJJ but will watch the fight nevertheless hoping for a war.
Kessler is a real gentleman bro...checkout some of his interviews ect on youtube...he da man.

Cal's words were, pad your resume. He said he would fight him, but not now. He also said he would beat Pav. But every fighter says that. lol.

This is an interesting fight on paper , but pavlik is faster I don't see what mikkel could do to win. A) he could try to wear him down and avoid getting hit with too many bombs but that would require jc like skills
B)he could try for the ko but pav has iron chin so he would be at higher risk for ko while trying a ko. Pavlik will land bombs and even mike tyson would collapse from enough pavkick bombs

Load of bollocks mate.
Fight will probably never happen anyway.
would be good if it did though and a lot closer than you think.

Fighters say stuff like that all the time. Kessler is a gentleman, so is 40Cal and Pav.

My question is::

Why in the **** is Kessler worried about a 160 pound Pavlik.....

Miranda called his ass out......fight Mianda....Fight Taylor.

Kessler is willing to fight anyone. That's why he called him out. Kessler didn't want to waste his time with Miranda. He wants to fight the guy who beat Miranda.

They dont come much more padded than Pav's resume...2 wins over Taylor is good enough for me let alone his destruction of other resonable fighters in the top twenty MW's.
Come on Joe please fight Pavlik!!!!!!
If Pav fights a real Good fight next time against a big name opponent im sure JC will come back and attempt to seal his legacy...maybe they are having RJJ as another money spinner to make Pav vs JC a bit more hyped up and profitable??????
