Kessler all of a sudden calling out Hopkins

[MELLY-MEL...]

Well i would like to see bernard in with Joe again, if not him dawson, and than kessler for the third choice. joe is the most logical. one fight out of these, and retire.

I really like Kessler, not just as a fighter but I think he's a nice dude whenever I see him interviewed. I'd love to see him give Hopkins a beating, even though I have the highest regard for Hopkins as a boxer, just not as a man. He's a sore loser and not a gentleman.

Says the Calzaghe fan who probably jeked off while Joe disgracefully taunted a half blind, shot version of Roy Jones Jr. with a blood soaked face for 33 minutes last night.

Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwn.

Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwn.

Okay forget that.

How about the way Joe **** all over Roy in the back of his own Autobiography, saying he was shot, a loser, and how he'd never fight him? Only to sign to fight Roy and promote the fight for weeks while smiling and shaking Roy's hand the entire time?

Some gentleman. You fail.

All of a sudden Bernard's name is up in Mikkel's mouth, when everybody who keeps up on boxing already knows that Bernard has stated in his most recent interview on this website (in the video section) that if he cannot land the winner or Calzaghe/Jones, he's retiring. He said he wouldn't have the spark to fight anybody other than Joe at this point.

And now all of a sudden Mikkel Kessler wants Hopkins? He hasn't mentioned Hopkins name as a possible opponet in his entire professional career until now, and nobody finds this ironic at all?

Kessler....The same guy who's biggest fight is a lopsided loss to Joe Calzaghe? The same guy who's biggest win is Librado "hit me, I'm open!" Andrade?

I'm sorry Joe/Mikkel fans but you've got to call a spade a spade here. Even I acknowledge that Dawson's lame attempts to bait Calzaghe into a fight are unfounded. Surely you can acknowledge that Kessler has no merit whatsoever to even be mentioned alongside Hopkins, let alone fight the man.

And even if Bernard fights him, let's say he wins. What credit does he get? What has Mikkel accomplished since being outclassed by Joe last November? What has he done prior to losing to Joe that of particular intrest?

People will just say Joe ruined Mikkel, and Bernard was feasting on his leftovers.

And if he loses, jesus christ, I guess you can take Hopkins off the ATG list forever. But we all know that wouldn't happen.

This **** is pathetic. I can't believe people actually want to see Bernard fight Mikkel and Joe fight Chad. When Mikkel and Chad are clearly not even worthy of mention alongside Joe or Bernard.

You sound scared pollo.

If you watch the interview with Kessler on this site, all he said was he'd like to fight Hopkins when asked.
Some of you make it sound like he held a press conference demanding to fight Hopkins and saying he'd kick his ass.

Of Kesslerbot? Please. If anything I'm offended.

According to some of the people in this thread, Kessler said something along those lines (insert number of months/years ago here).

Good post, I agree. Altough, I must say...Even tough Kessler is unproven STILL I just want to see more of B-Hop. He is my favorite fighter to watch

I don't mind seeing Bernard do it just once more, I'd rather enjoy it.

My whole argument is if it's only going to be once more, why do some people here want him to waste it on Kessler?

He couldn't win either way. If he wins it's Joe's leftovers, and if he loses (which would never happen), Joe's sloppy seconds got the W over Bernard.

The only fights that make sense for Bernard are a Calzaghe rematch or a Jones rematch.

I'd prefer the Calzaghe rematch, because I know Bernard would wreck him this time out, but if he can only get Roy, ****, go for Roy I guess.

Even though bernard's resume ****s all over Roy's at this stage of their careers, some people still need to see the W on the record to be true believers.

And apparently lopsided wins over shot Roy means an awful lot around here right now.
