Kessler turns down Dawson!

[BattlingNelson]

Mikkel Kessler's promotor Mogens Palle has turned down an offer from HBO for Mikkel Kessler to fight Chad Dawson.

Palle states to danish TV2 that: "Dawson is a cruiserweight squeezing down to 175 lbs and he does not bring enough to the table".

Dawson would get his ass handed back to him.

Kessler needs to hurry up and get shot of Palle.

[Dan...]

I'm a big fan of both but I understand why Kessler would not want to fight Dawson. I doubt Dawson would lose more than 1 or 2 rounds tbh.

[Clegg]

This would be a big opportunity for Kessler.

Dawson doesn't bring enough to the table? Who brings more?

[sparked_85]

Palle must be the worst promoter of all time.

he is ****. How can Kessler possibly turn down Dawson.

Palle seems to think Kessler is Calzaghe.

[johnm is...]

Doesn't bring enough to the table? What the **** are they waiting for?

****ing nut up and fight someone with a pulse already.

That's unfortunate.

I've heard from some very knowledgeable people (who know Dawson) that Dawson could actually make 168 if he wanted to. He isn't a big light heavyweight despite his height.

**** Palle....he makes Kessler look like a coward with this ****** ****...Dawson could make 168 if he wanted.......i mean he usually weighs 173 in his lhw fights......

come on mikkel, just get rid of that old man....

Ohhh, I think Kessler would have more than a shot at beating Dawson as well, good fight!! Shame!
