    No he wouldn't. But he'd check boxrec afterwards I am sure.

      Jones said a few days ago that he's willing to fight Hopkins.

        I bet Kessler would rather defend his title in Copenhagen for semi-big bucks than try his luck at 175 against Johnson.
        He knocked out Roy and beat Hopkins I believe.

          I think this is more assuming Calzaghe wins. Surely this is an appealing match up?

              Kessler vs. any live body is an appealing matchup.

              But yes, Jones said he would fight Hops and I'm assuming, win or lose, he will since Calzaghe won't.

              Apparently Kessler has an offer from Dawson's camp. Why aren't we pushing that?

                I think it'll be a minor miracle if Jones and Hopkins can agree about the purse split.

                  We guess there is an offer. Anyway Palle has stalled all negotiations regarding Kessler's future until after Calzaghe-RJJ.
