    he is ****. How can Kessler possibly turn down Dawson.
    Yep, that's what I think. If Kessler doesn't figure this out soon he's going to realize one day that he wasted the prime of his career fighting bums!

      This reminds me of Cus D'Amato's managing of Floyd Patterson when he repeatedly told Patterson what fighters he could beat and what fighters he could not beat.

      When Patterson finally gave a shot at Liston on his own, he under-performed big time.

      Hopefully that won't happen to Kessler the next time he faces a highly rated opponent.
      Yeah, and at least you won't die wondering.

      Better to give it your all and come up short than to never take a risk, and be left wondering "what if?" for the rest of your life IMO.

        i THINK Kessler is just gonna do what JC did. He is gonna continue to fight nobodys over in his home turf and claim he is the best and that everyone is ducking him. THen after a few years he'll calll hopkins and RJJ out of retirement and beat them up and claim to be a ATG.
        Its sad too cause Kessler has some skill and he brings a decent name and good fight to most out there
        too bad his old man wont let him take the chances he needs to become a great fighter.

          Also his career earning must be taking a battering knocking out all these average mandatories.

              Dawson would box his ears off

                I'll give him a pass on this ONLY if he fights winner of Taylor/Lacy or Froch/Pascal.

                  Spot on.

                  I heard Calzaghe wants to move to heavyweight and he will call out Mike Tyson.He thinks he will win and retire undefeated

                      HBO offering Kessler this fight seems like a clear indicator that Calzaghe has told them he won't be fighting Chad Dawson.
