    Kessler should just buy himself out of his contract (if possible).

      Such a waste of talent!

      I feel sad when I think about it.

          That's because Kessler is a more talented fighter and a better man than Haye.

            Greed has no bounds I guess.
            Indeed. It's a disgrace also considering that Palle is 70 something, has a heartcondition and no other noteworty fighters under contract. His business is finished sooner rather than later anyway.

            Didnt he do the same to Laursen?
            He has done the same to Mads Larsen, Rudy Markussen and Dennis Holbaek Pedersen. Possibly others as well that I have forgotten. ****** thing is that there's no need to send a message like you said since he is finished promoting anyway for the reasons stated above.

              He says he has gone very far to get a settlement with Palle, but evidently not far enough.

              Palle is and always has been a very stubburn man. That's probably the main reason for him to be able to stay in the promotional boxingbusiness for some 50+ years.

                Jeez. I'm not a fan of Kessler's but I really feel for the guy here. He's going to end up with some very critical time taken away from him at this stage in his career, and if he's past prime by the time he comes back, we'll really never know how good he could have been and he'll end up retiring with a sub-par resume. At the end of the day, it's boxing, and you can expect to take punches both inside and outside of the ring. I hope for the sake of his career, and the division, that he gets out of this litigation soon.

                  Haye has achieved far more then Kessler.

                    How's that? Because he's a challenger for the HW title?

                      Haye's won only TWO world title fights, against shot old Mormeck and the china-chinned clubfighter Enzo Maccarinelli.

                      Kessler has won many, against better opponents, like the tough-as-nails Librado Andrade!

                      I know you love Haye, but the truth is Kessler > Haye.
