    Exactly. Ive heard two excuses. One was that Dawson is a ''cruiser weight'' and the other was that Dawson wouldn't come down 5 pounds to fight him( which would be silly because with this big fight, it should be for a title).

      Dawson is a small LHW and a catch weight as you said would be pointless when a title could be gained.....

        Kessler could headline against Jermain Taylor,HBO prefers that over a Froch fight.
        I think he's ****ed.

        He is in a position, where Joe Calzaghe spent most of his career. Except; Denmark is an even smaller pond.

          Yeah I already knew this was coming. Interesting note, Kesslers close friend Simon Lundt Hansen contacted the Danish Boxing Union to get a promotors license.

            Good to hear.

            I always thought that his management was the problem, not Kessler himself.

              Things have been going the wrong way for Kessler since team palle turned down a fight against Miranda. Team Palle wanted Kessler to get the WBA-title back and fight german almost nobody "Sartison". This turned out to be a mis-match, and Sartison spend the night at the hospital. Then he had a mandatory against Haussler, which was an even bigger mis-match.

              Instead Kessler could've fought Miranda on HBO, and be on his way to bigger and better things: Hopkins, Pavlik, Taylor....

                Kessler was give chances to gain exposure,first was his fight with Andrade that was televised on HBO than his fight with Calzaghe,which was on the same network. He was also was offered a Miranda bout and now the Dawson match up.

                I think it was his promoter more then Mikkel that took the offers lightly similar to Frank Warren and Calzaghe. Either way America tried to accept Kessler but someone else was holding him back.

                  Do You know anything about Kesslers' contract? Is it possible for him to terminate it?

                    For sure, rejecting the Miranda fight has put the brakes on his career - big time.

                      Palle owns Kessler for his next 3 fights, as far as I could understand. So no, I don't think so. Which is why I believe he now has a lawyer on the case.
