His promoter is a total **** too which is the reason why Kessler career hasn't taken off as it should, he's only interested in money which is why he would turn down Johnson.
    The whole Myth about Kessler being avoided is just as bad..... Glen wanted to fight at a catch weight of 170 which is reasonable considering he is up there in age. That fight would of provided Mikkel with the US exposure he wants and a credible opponent who still fights at the elite level.

      Mocing 5 weight class is not a risk.

      Fighting Castillo in his first LW fight was not a risk?? Corrales wasn't a risk.

      Fitghing Oscar at 154 was not a risk??? Hatton??


      Mayweather started at 130 and won titles at 154.

      I would like to see Cotto do something at 160

        Dawson offered him a fight on HBO before Tarver activated his rematch clause. Froch called him out after he won his world title and has done it many times.
        Who gives a **** it when he activated it? It wouldn't have happened regardless.

          yet he fights none of these fighters.

          Why
          he's taking a page out of calzaghe's play book... pad record forever then fight 2 past their prime fighters and retire, and lie about how you are a HOFer and ATG.

            Like I said Kessler's promoter is only after fights which make the most money which is why a Johnson fight wont happen.

              ??????????

              If Kessler accepted Tarver couldn;t be able to activate it, since HBO would step in for the more important fight

                Calzaghe is an ATG... He is top one hundred and number one at Super Middleweight.

                  People should blame Palle then instead of claiming Kessler is avoided.....
