    Glen Johnson isn't even on my top 50 of favorite fighters. But you would think so...probably because I mentioned him in relation to Joe Calzaghe. LOL. You kill me.


    Yeah, Kessler should be able to do a lot of things. Now tell me when he does it.
    No, in fact I did reply.

    Judging by your posts I would say you don't like boxing at all, merely dislike boxers and boxing fans.

    You get back to me when someone agrees to fight Kessler. He's called out Pavlik and announced Pavlik as his next career target.

      I'm always amused that some people think it's the impetus of the Champion to make a fight happen if called out by a challenger if they are huge fans of said challenger.

        Well, he has to accept. Kessler is #1 ranked at SMW and most people would say its probably Pavlik's most credible fight, along with Abraham and Calzaghe. Maybe Taylor or Lacy should agree to fight Kessler then, if that would do it.

        As for the good - great question. Great = zero, good = Siaca, Mundine, Andrade and of course he did fight the great Calzaghe.

            Siacaca, Mundine and Andrade are the epitome of MEDIOCRE.

            And he fought the great Calzagha and...LOST.

              I'm sorry, what are we talking about here? My conversation with you has been about Kessler and the likelihood of him avoiding/ being avoided. Am I now to understand that the de facto truth is that Kessler is a euro-bum who wouldn't accept a meaningful fight if his life depended on it and that anyone he could fight, from Pavlik to Tarver and everyone inbetween would be only to delighted to face him if Mikkel had but the balls to ask? That appears to be the implication of your post.

                Ummm, Pavlik is a middle. Why is Kessler his most legit challenge? Haven't you made arguments before that Calzaghe was not in Jones/Hopkins/Pavliks weight classes so that's why the fights didn't go through? Why change your opinion now?

                  They are not mediocre, that is a grotesquely distorted view of boxing brought about by watching too much HBO. Kessler lost to Calzaghe, yes, but he fought him. When another 'great' agrees to fight him, then Kessler will have a chance to beat a 'name'.

                    What makes them good?

                      Oh come on. The legitimate fights for Pavlik are Abraham, Kessler and Joe. Pavlik's next fight is at LHW, the class above Kessler.
