    How about this:

    Johnson offered a fight for a dollar and a dime. Not really an offer.

    Froch and Kessler never got down at the negotiating table before Taylor-Froch gained steam.

    Dawson turned down Kessler for a fight at 172 despite calling out the smaller man.
    500,000 is not a dollar and a dime.... Most fighters don't even make that in their lifetime. Johnson is old but he still fights at the elite level. He was willing to drop down to 170 which is just two pounds over the SMW limit. Kessler probably rehydrates over that amount after the weigh in anyways. If it is exposure The Viking Warrior wants look no further than the Road Warrior.

        Compared to what Kessler was set to earn in an on paper easier fight against Larsen it's really just pocket change.

          How did Dawson duck him when he offered him a fight??
          Hopkins has never ducked anyone yet somehow is ducking the feared Kessler when he fought undefeated fighter Pavlik
          WOW Kessler wants to fight Winky a small man
          Taylor just got SMW and is fighting Froch. How is he ducking Kessler.
          RJJ
          Calzaghe fought him and embarrassed him

                I accidently said ducked. I didn't mean that. I should have said turned down.

                They all turned down offers to fight Kessler.

                Hopkins turned down 4 million USD.

                  Yet Glen Johnsn offer remain after Larsen bout is cancelled. Let's see what Kessler does.

                    I like Hopkins a lot, he has a very good resume and seems willing to fight anyone, but how do you explain the fact that he accepted an offer to fight Joe in '02, then changed his mind the next day asking for double the amount.

                      That's a shame, Larsen would have been a step back up into a higher level of opposition, Kessler needs to find a good opponent soon.
