Only really big fight out there at 168 is the Froch v Taylor winner. I hope he takes on someone in the interim while that sorts itself out.
Maybe finally get in with Miranda. I mean given their styles I don't know why Kessler wouldnt want this fight.
Word. I sense legitimate fear from the Kessler camp. Edison has a decent name in the division and like you said, given their styles, why wouldn't Mikkel fight Miranda?
Im disappointed in him fighting all these bums. If he wants a legacy in the sport he should of first fought Miranda. Then went after Taylor and Froch. It seems like he's happy to have just fought Calzaghe and lose to him. He's in his prime now and needs to fight the top guys, Even move up to 175 if he has to, he has the build to do it.
He's in the Euro career trend at this point, which is
1) wait forever for one "big" fight. if you win, take it VERY slowly and remind everyone that you won in every interview you ever do (i.e, Hatton-Tszyu, Calzaghe-Lacy, etc)
2) if you lose, make sure to run home and never take on anymore big names until you're old and irrelevant (i.e., Sturm and Kessler)
Yes! Bet your ass Kessler will step up. Once he is free from the Palle contract, I expect that's what he will do. Right now, Palle is protecting his cash cow and it's hurting Kessler's reputation badly. Nobody wants Kessler to step up more than Kessler himself. Very talented fighter. Unfortunately it'll be a while longer before he can prove it.
Guys, stop Blaming Kessler directly for what his ****ty promoter is doing to him.
