When will Kessler step up?FRUAD AT ITS BEST.

You're just mad Bat. Don't try to spin this in favor of your fighter, its not okay to stay in Denmark and fight bums. If he wants respect he will get it by fighting fighters that have a name and have defeated other fighters that have names.

You are pretty uninformed. Kessler has travelled the globe defending his title. How many times have Pavlik and Taylor fought outside the US?

P.S Checkmania, whos the fatty with a beer gut and snail trail in your avy?

Its this fat Yankee that goes by the name Fred Durst. He started this real bad band that is making a comeback after 3 years of being out of the public eye. Heres one of his classics

Prove that.

Prove that he ducked someone. He hasn't ducked anyone infact he fought Sicia (WBA champ), Mundine (future Champ), Eric Lucas (former champ), Beyer (WBA champ), Andrade (fighting for title next) then Calzaghe and Haussler (undefeated mandatory) in a row.

Kessler has fought good competition and took on two mandatories because he would lose his belt had he not.

Hes got a nice voice. Hes probably got more going for him when he has his shirt on. No ****.

And I'm not mad just because I'm danish like Kessler. I'm just baffled over the lack of knowledge some posters have. They just post **** without checking the validity of what they are writing.

I have no problem with ppl having different opinions than me. Heck that's pretty cool with me and opens doors for some nice discussions.

The only criticism I can come up with regarding Kessler can be directly related to the WBA. He really needs dump that belt if they continue to serve up softies to him. It certainly will not do him any good to keep it with the journeymen they are feeding him.

With all the new names gathering attention at SW, like Taylor, Froch, Inkin, as well as semi established ones like Bute getting all the noise, Kessler will need to get on the fast track hopefully again soon, or he will be on the outside looking in. With Abraham and Pavlik very likely to move there in 2009 also, it makes it very important for Kessler to make real noise.

It goes to show how useless a title belt is these days. These days it is far more important to go after names, than it is to go after belts.

I think the WBA will be pushing for a unification because then they can elevate Kessler to "super champion" and charge another fighter for commission of the regular WBA belt.

"The day I see Kessler in with a top tier fighter and actually win is the day I will probably die of a heartattack."

- I'll take you on your word newbie!

I think your struggling mentally obviously.

Kessler is a proven performer. And an absolute powerhouse at SMW.

Hes really a LHW.

Why doesn't he move up or didn't he move up way before.

The same reason Williams is staying at 147 there is business left at 168 with money to be made.
