    Funny you should mention that; Kessler had a fight lined up with Someone but backed out in favor of fighting Nobody, and now he can't get a fight with Anyone.

      Carl been making a bit of a fool of himself recently, he's not a great fighter, he didn't beat a world class opponent to win the strap and he needs to keep his gob shut.

          WBO, IBF, WBC, WBA, IBO, RING titles at 168! my guess he never will so wont match what Calzaghe done.
          Well it took Calzaghe around 10 years to unify the ****ing things so let's not get ahead of ourselves too much, shall we?

            Kessler can clean up the 168 division: quick

            Bute is flawed, Froch is slow with a less than world level defence.

            The 168 division is interesting barring Kessler: who beats everyone else, even on his worst night.

            Kessler needs to get a move on though.


            I wish Kessler would start fighting big names.

              He is one of only two men to hold every major title in a single division.

              Thats what i meant.

                For all his trash talk, it seems to be Froch holding off on signing the contract to fight Taylor, not the other way round, so he's an idiot. See here:
                "Back on December 20th last year, I offered Hennessey a deal that he refused," DiBella said. "But now, six weeks later, he has accepted what is basically the same deal. The only difference is he will be getting $50,000 more! So I'm really laughing at why he has done this and still talked all that crap in the news! Why has he changed his mind when it's almost an identical deal? Why has he said we didn't want the fight, when he has now accepted the original deal (plus an additional $50,000) I put on the table weeks ago? This fight has never been waiting on us, it's only been waiting on him [Hennessey]."

                DiBella believes, as do many fight fans, that the prospective bout will be a great fight. However, he also warned that if a deal is not reached in around three or four days tops, there will be no fight.

                "I think the fight will happen, because surely, unless Hennessey is insane, he will sign the deal now. But if he doesn't do it soon, Showtime will walk. It has to be signed ASAP or else, really.

                  Froch is classless and a bitter child.

                    ONce Froch finishes his daily training he has to trawl the internet to see if JT or any other champs have responded to his insults and take up the challenge. Froch had wondered where JT had gone to as he was AWOL and the only way froch can keep track of JT is on the internet just like us.
                    Hahaha!

                      Either he was holding out for more money and finally gave up after realizing he's not the major star he's hyped himself to be, or his camp was delaying to allow him more time to recover from injuries that he keeps insisting are not that serious.
