Bernard Hopkins ducked Mikkel Kessler!

[MANGLER]

I don't believe this for a second. I doubt there was ever any pursuit of a Hopkins fight by Kessler or vice versa. And no way Hopkins is scared of Kessler.

Kessler and Hopkins shook hands at the Calzaghe-RJJ fight agreeing that they wanted to fight each other.

I know that Kessler's promotor has had negotiations with team Hopkins. I always doubted however that they would come to fruition.

And if Kessler licks Hop Hopkins got instantly old and a prime Hopkins would have killed him.

BTW by NSB logic this IS a clear duck on Hopkins part.

Oh of course. If Kessler beat Bernard, well then Bernard's ticket to the hall of fame goes up in flames by NSB standards.

But honestly, you and I both know that would never happen. Kessler is nowhere near Hopkins in terms of skill, will, or boxing I.Q.

I'm not even being bias, it's just the truth.

Joe asked Bernard to fight Mikkel and Bernard just laughed at him. I don't recall them shaking hands and agreeing to anything.

or maybe bernard is interested in making more than $15

Chad Dawson cannot be then, if he wanted to fight Kessler for $15!

I'm not really into Kessler's tatted arm sleeve. But if B-Hop were to fight Mikkel Kessler, i think Hopkins might come out on top.

What is Kessler anyways? Welsh? British? Russian?

[Testdead]

Kessler is twice the fighter Pavlik is but i cannot see Hopkins ducking anyone. He is in the legend bracket like Calzaghe they want the best pay.

Kessler v Hopkins is 50-50.

Actually Kessler said im ready and Hopkins said if its gets to you.

Hopkins said "If it gets to you"? What the hell does that mean? Like, if he can't find anybody else? Or if he gets past whoever he wants next? That makes me wonder if he's planning more than just one final fight.

Kessler is Danish.

You're right. At least as when Hopkins was in his prime.

Right, but according to newspaperreports they had the chat.
