    Does anyone really care about an imaginary belt that you don't have to defend to keep?

          It's old.

          Hopkins flat out turned the offer down. As did Pavlik, Taylor, Dawson etc.

          Today the situation is different. Kessler offers noone anything as long as he battles his promotor in court. Failure of securing a big fight is likely one of the reasons for the dispute.

                    Indeed. The offer was made shortly after Hopkins lost to Joe I think.

                      who exactly has kessler fought since calzaghe? Bhop isn't going to waste his last fight on a regional European fighter.he doesn't need money & beating kessler does nothing for him.
