Kessler: "No training camp - no problem!"

[BattlingNelson]

up to kessler? its not up to kessler. the trainer rules.
that bewildered look on kesslers face inbetween rounds in cal/kess says it all.

lets hope montoya doesnt turn into a Yes man.

Olsen works for Kessler. Kessler could show him the door if he wanted to.

Nothing has come out. According to poster 'Scary' Team Kessler negotiates with team Pavlik but that's probably only decoy-neg. from Pavlik's end as he's more likely to fight Abraham.

Kessler want's the US market badly so I guess he wants any available fighter that can give him some HBO-time. I don't believe Froch or Bute is in his sight. Moreso the Lacy-Taylor winner or Pavlik.

Good idea.

If he wants the US market, however, he'll have to try coming here.

WOW
Nice excuses, for Kessler fighting nobodies. Kessler should drop down to Mw or fight at LHW.

Which excuses are you talking about?

[Flawless]

His management
No Americans wanting to fight him
Too dangerous

Same old with Calzaghe fans

Aaahhh. You're saying that Kessler fanboys make up excuses. Either that or perhaps potential Kessler-opponents, unlike certain boxrec-warriors, has seen some footage and decided that the risk/reward ratio aint worth it.

Why doesn’t he fight at LHW and capture a title or maybe MW, he would be Sturm

Sturm will have his hands full with Slyvester, believe that. That a good as fight as any.

Winner of Taylor-Lacy would make the most money at 168.

The problem seems to be a lot of the top guys are booked up this year.

Winner of Lacy – Taylor would seem right

Kessler is too big for MW. As for capturing titles, you should realise he does hold the WBA SMW belt and before that had made a habit of collecting them, winning two and trying to unify against oh....the current second best boxer in the world.

As for LHW, I agree Kessler would have little to lose by going there, except big fights. If you think that Tarver, Hopkins or Jones are going to fight Kessler anytime soon you must be crazy, since all are nearing the end of their careers and are looking for big name American opponents. Calzaghe of course has already been there and that rematch isn't happening. By staying at SMW, where he is the consensus #1, Kessler maximises his chance of big fights with fighters who may actually fight him. Taylor is there, so are Lacy and Miranda, but more importantly Pavlik and Abraham have both fought at 166 in recent fights and if they move up it may very well be into Kessler's division. If they move up and decide to skip to LHW then I'm sure Kessler will go after them.
