Kessler turns down Dawson!

[sitai]

dawson has achieved more than kessler at this stage of both their careers..
he also younger..
his team offered kessler a chance to fight him
palle called dawson a cruiserweight
kessler's team then turned it down PERIOD

[Jim Jeffries]

what a joke about palle trying to say dawson in a crusier! joke. he can make 68! nice way to try and look good palle!

I can understand Kessler wanting to take an easy fight after the Calzaghe loss, but damn, he's had two already. He must not like his chances and prefers being top dog at 168 than losing to a guy that's not yet top dog at 175.

[egreezy]

But I could have said that when Dawson was fighting Ruiz and Kessler was fighting Calzaghe.

who had more career fights, was 3 years older in 2007 and had a title for a longer time? but you wouldn't take that into account would you?

it is what it is. just don't take the fight, and stfu. don't try and discredit chad, wtf! **** is lame.

Kessler should take the fight, it would get him good exposure in the US. Chad
isn't really a Criuiser weight, not too long ago he was in SMW.
I think it would be a very winable fight for Kessler.
Dawson don't like too much pressure, and Kessler is able to keep a good pressure with a high workrate, also Dawson has a weak chin and Kessler could well KO him.

[Brandish]

I said it plainly, obviously you see what you want to see, again for the last time. After Dawson beat Adamek, his next two fights were against subpar competition. Kessler beat Sartison for the title and just beat Hausller, both not great competition, thats the only point Im making.

kessler han't beaten anyone half as good as glenn johnson or antonio tarver. kessler had a chjance to build a real legacy for himself and he took the calzaghe route

[Ben_London.]

You mean Mendoza? The late replacement?

Honestly, do you know anything at all about this sport?

Dawson also fought Jesus Ruiz as his first voluntary defense, not on short notice, instead of his mandatory at the time Diaconu, because he had another 3 or 4 months to fight Adrian.

Ruiz was not even a top 50 light heavyweight.

[The Hammer]

What a horrible post. I hardly think I need to respond to it as everyone will surely be able to see this.

Just a couple of things:
Dawson has fought at 160.
Kessler is a big SMW.

Of course the white fighter cannot possibly be at fault though, you racist ****.

Of course the white fighter must be at fault, you racist ****.

[ReadyUp]

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

That's why Chad was at like 172 with 2-3 weeks left for the fight with Tarver.

[Dan...]

Of course the white fighter must be at fault, you racist ****.

Well, in this case yeah he is, seeing as he was offered the fight and knocked it back with a piss poor excuse. Notice that you are pretty much the only poster in here siding with Mikkel? Even the Danish guys aren't. You are so pathetic. Maybe Kess should go against Oscar seeing his is a "natural jnr middleweight" as you called it.
