Kessler: Risk Can Reap Rewards…so Why Not Dawson?

[chillin8]

I mean why would the no. 1 SMW want to fight a 40 year old who doesn't bring much to the table other than a decent showing against Dawson? The guy is best remembered in europe for being outclassed by Sven Ottke back in the day when Johnson was in his prime.

I bet Kessler would rather defend his title in Copenhagen for semi-big bucks than try his luck at 175 against Johnson.

If you really think Johnson would not create problems for Kessler than it would be a smart move for him to take this fight.especially in the states where he can show why he's the no.1 SMW..Kessler needs to show something or he's gonna end up fighting in his home town for the rest of his carrer...

I don't think a Johnson fight at 175 would do Kessler any good. I would rather see him facing say Miranda in a titledefense for US exposure.

I like Dawson in this matchup but he needs not to stay in front of him like in the Johnson fight. Johnson tho is more 3d than Kessler so Dawson should be fine

Well Kessler already refused to fight Miranda ,,so i don't think he wants anything to do with him...Johnson could be an easier fight for him,,,Johnson is a reconized contender in the states and with a good resume..I think it would be a great opportunity for Kessler....

No he didn't. Miranda just wanted Abraham instead. The decision was Mirandas.
