        Time to look at Kessler and not his promoter.

        He's a grown ass man with PLENTY say-so in his career.

          This is going to be ****ing awesome. This is the sort of thing that will bring boxing back into the mainstream - everyone loves an ultimate tournament.

          It's a shame that Bute won't be involved though, for whatever reason. I've got to back Kessler based on pure skills, but Abraham is perhaps the complete package. The sheer will of Froch makes him a dangerous contender as well.

            It's a shame Pavlik and Bute aren't going to be involved

            I just hope Kessler v Froch happens at some point during the tournament as that's the fight i have been waiting for ever since the Cobra beat Pascal.

              If this comes to fruition it is one of the best things to happen in boxing for years.

                Yeah. Still this hasn't been commented by either part. Not even the papers have picked up the news.

                I'm glad I don't have to seek legal advice from you.

                  I would bet that even if they asked Pavlik now to join, he wouldn't. This tourney is stacked.. a lot of youth with ward and dirrell in there..

                  Gotta to tell you though..I like Jermaine Taylor's chances in Germany.. He won't have the pressure that he would have here in the US.. for a change he will be the complete underdog..
