    Wow....that was pretty convincing.

    So what's next Mikkel?

    MADS LARSEN!

    Umm...how about after him?

    ANOTHER MANDATORY!

    **anticipates another Kessler letter at the end of the year promising more big fights**

      yet he fights none of these fighters.

      Why


      If indeed Johnson, Dawson and Froch want to fight him they ought to be a little bit louder about it. Kessler made a lot of noise about fighting Calzaghe. It was worth Calzaghe's time to take that fight because Kessler has a reasonably large fan base in Europe. What do the three musketeers have to offer?

        Why would Kessler offer Winky Wright a fight??? He looked horrible at 175 vs Hopkins. His best weight class is Light Middleweight?.

        When exactly was this article written? What month was it in last year?

          They can yell from the rooftops..it won't get that coward to fight them.

          If Kessler is too chicken to fight EDISON MIRANDA..then he sure as hell ain't fighting Dawson..Johnson,,or even Froch.

            It's not an "article" as such, that would imply it's a piece written by an independent journalist. It's an open letter from Kessler himself. It appeared in December 2008.

            Why are you asking me about Winky Wright? How would I know the answer to your question?

            Besides, the Hopkins-Wright fight was at 170, not 175. Whether he looked horrible or not, that's probably down to Hopkins making it an ugly fight. That's what he usually does.

              Wrights best weight is Light-Middle anyone who followed his career knows this. 90% of these open letters are usually not created by the fighter themselves. You're right about the catch weight tho.

                I'd say this letter had Michael Marley written all over it. At least it's his style of writing.

                Marley is Kessler's US agent.

                  This post is the funniest I've read for some time. "Nearly being outweighed". Was he or wasn't he?

                  I got a good deep belly laugh from this gem.

                  Can I sig it?

                    I know Wright's best weight was light middle, that's why I don't give Hopkins a great deal of credit for that win. Or the Trinidad win. Or the De La hoya win.

                      Why not the Tito win? And while I don't give him much credit for Oscar either, didn't Hopkins move down for that fight?
