Michael Marley: Froch's camp rejected Taylor for 3/28 on Showtime

[Scott9945]

Mike Marley spent many years working for Don King. So what I'm trying to say is that if Marley told a lie, it wasn't even close to his first one.

Yeah, but that isn't "he's ducking him". You said, at least this is what I read from your post, that it's clear that Hopkins turned down 4 million? How is that clear, when Marley has been proven to lie? There isn't even proof that there was an offer.

Look mate, the only Marley I know or care about is a Jamacian bloke who made legendary reggae music.

Hopkins doesnt want to fight Kessler because he said so himself. Thats all im saying.

Alright I guess, but I'm saying it's not a duck or "Hopkins is scared of Kessler" when Hopkins clearly wants to fight Calzaghe and no one else.

Fair enough. I never said he was scared. Risk/reward is probably the reason.

Although funnily enough, i think Hopkins best way of getting Joe in the ring is by beating Kessler.

Disagree here. I'm curious on why you think so. Pavlik was the next big thing who "joe was ducking because he was scared!!" and Hopkins took him out with ease. It put all the pressure back on Calzaghe again. If he were to beat Dawson who is now has the previous status Kelly Pavlik had, then that would cause even more pressure.

Mikkel Kessler on the other hand, Joe can easily say "I already beat him, Lacy, and Roy Jones. At the end of the day, why would I fight old man popkins again?" if Hopkins beats him.
