Dawson blatantly DUCKED Kessler!

[BattlingNelson]

where in that article does it say DAWSON CHALLENGED KESSLER?

like i said, KESSLER CHALLENGED DAWSON, at 168 or 170....dawson said he'd fight kessler, if he moved up to lightheavyweight.....not a SMW, not at a catchweight.

Dawson's challenge has been all over the internet. It was also here on boxingscene.

Your behaviour will make you an instant succes here on NSB.

FYI there where 2 seperate negotiations between Kessler and Miranda. In the end Miranda chose Abraham and ditched Kessler.

Your source isn't credible. ****************** is Kessler's american spokesperson. They do the same for Guzman, which is nuthug him to death

You're grasping and not making much sense.

Dawson said he didnt want to fight at 168, and that he didn't want to get into catchweight fights, as LHW was his division and he wanted to make his career there.

However, now, seeing the limited options available to him now with Slapzaghe and Hopkins both unwilling to fight him, he has now come out and said that maybe he will have to go down to 168 to get some fights.

Circumstances have changed......and thus, so has his outlook. If he's looking to go to 168, I'm guessing Kessler is at the top of the list. Has he come out and said that he doesn't want to fight Kessler NOW at 168? So how about you wait and see how it pans out?

I mean, you seriously think Dawson is scared of....Kessler? He's already fought Adamek, Johnson and Tarver, so why would he duck a smaller man, who IMHO, he would beat comprehensively?

And considering the lack of names on Kessler's resume, I wouldn't really call someone who has fought Harding, Adamek, Tarver and Johnson a ducker.

most sensible post in the thread

the accusations are premature to say the least

let Dawson finish his business with Tarver and then see what he's saying

you just posted an article where it says, KESSLER has tried to get fights with hopkins, dawson, calzaghe, winky, etc. etc.....nobody wanted to fight him...

they offered dawson a fight at SMW or at a catchweight, dawson said he was the LHW champ, so if kessler wanted to fight him, he should move up....

at the time, dawson was still chasing fights with hopkins and calzaghe, who were both LHW's......now, neither of those fights are happening, so dawson is willing to move down.

your thread is FALSE.

show me....is it an official article?

[Pullcounter]

well, now that the well has dried up at 175, dawson might as well make this fight w/ kessler at a catchwweight.

[BattlingNelson]

show me....is it an official article?

It was all over the danish press at least:

Mikkel Kessler's promotor Mogens Palle has turned down an offer from HBO for Mikkel Kessler to fight Chad Dawson.

Palle states to danish TV2 that: "Dawson is a cruiserweight squeezing down to 175 lbs and he does not bring enough to the table".

That just makes it look like Kessler ducked Dawson.

[Deja_Vous]

Really? Explain please.

Edit: Only if you don't know about the catchweight offer).
