Kessler vs Hopkins at 175

[ИATAS]

I think Hopkins should just retire. No need for him to get hurt.

don't be scared!

it would be a big money fight for kessler overseas in europe (australia).

my bad, meant Denmark, it's 1am here in the UK - cue bedtime

[Grand Champ]

doesn't bute have two fights with froch though? that's gonna take forever

Then we find some euro bums for Kess to practice on.

The thing with The Executioner is that - even if you win, you won't look good doing it.

All props to B-hop but Kess should aboid that old slippery man like the plague

Nah

Make it the winner of Bute vs Froch vs Hopkins

Hopkins will end up being brutally knocked out and retire into the sunset

Brutally KO, get out of here with that crap.

Hopkins will never be KO'd, ever.

hopkins is full blooded german, thought you knew! (he's from Germantown!)

don't be scared!

I was actually Sauerlands plan to match them if Hopkins won over Dawson.

Personally I never understood it. Partly because Kessler is not a lightheavyweight and partly because Hopkins would butt Kesslers face to shreds.

Yes, the 16-fight deal with Froch that Bute signed 1 day after Ward-Froch. One of the slickest moves in boxing I have ever seen. Call out Ward after he says he injured his hand and needs to heal it. Ward says not now, needs time to rest and tells Bute to fight a top fighter. Bute gets locked in with Froch for a series of fights that will take up the rest of their careers. All while avoiding Andre Ward.

Slick Canadian fighter.

kessler is impossible to dislike too, would be very difficult for hopkins to engage in ***** talking to hype the fight.

but you never know, if bute-froch are tied up, so are ward-dawson, maybe kessler can see value in a hopkins fight. It's like the kelly pavlik situation you know, big payday, no big opponents valuable, sometimes that overrides the risk.

As opposed to Hopkins making his career out of fighting bums and calling out WW's?

maybe he was thinking it was his chance to one up calzaghe (thinking he could beat hopkins easier). also, even though hopkins is old and has some ugly fights, he's still a pretty big draw (when not on PPV) and I'd imagine if they could lure hopkins out of america it would be a pretty damn successful event for team kessler. Good money.
