      Evidently, he tried to fight Bernard Hopkins....

          Kessler does not do well against great old men. Just watch as he got owned by Kalzaghe. BHOP would give Kissler a boxing lesson. BHOP would knock those ugly tattoos right off Kisslers body. Like BHOP said before, who is Kissler and who has he beat?

            Kessler biggest accomplishment was losing to Calzaghe. Also why the **** should Hopkins go to Denmark to fight for only 4 million?

              I think fighting in Denmark is probably what made hops reject the $4 million.

                Exactly. Why should BHOP have to travel. Who is the bigger name? If anything, Kissler should grow some nuts and make the trip. BHOP has already insulted Kissler enough, what does BHOP have to do or say to make Kissler grow some testicals?

                  this was pre-Pavlik Hopkins so Kessler's team were trying to use him as a step-up fight... i.e. treating Kessler as the star of the show, having the fight held in Denmark etc.

                  Hopkins found a better deal with a more accomplished fighter in Pavlik

                    Its up to Hopkins' people to make a counter offer to fight in America...

                      4 million reasons for him to travel. I don't blame for not wanting to though. He would most likely have lost.

                      I'm sure Kessler would have loved to go to the US. However the fight wouldn't generate the revenue it would over here.

                      The last part of your post is childish. Unless you can back it up with something?
