    Actually, Kessler was trying his damnedest to get a fight with Tavoris Cloud @ light heavy before he took the Green fight.

    Cloud *****ed out, though - he said that he was "obligated" to fight his mandatory, Karo Murat. . . Conveniently, however, a few months later he was able to negotiate a fight with Jean Pascal, which onyl fell through last minute due to Pascal. . . There are articles on boxingscene that show how Cloud ducked Kessler with a lie - a lie that was exposed when he signed to fight Pascal a few months later.

    It’s amazing how long the list of potential future opponents grows once you already have your next fight lined up. Unbeaten light heavyweight titlist Tavoris Cloud is fresh off of a close though disputable points win over former champ Gabriel Campillo last month in Corpus Christi, Texas. The fight was granted as a one-time exception by the sanctioning body involved, with the promise that Cloud would next defend against his mandatory challenger, Karo Murat.




    PWNED. . . Know your facts before opening thy ballwasher.

    Moreover, Kessler was ready to fight Froch/Bute winner, and he wanted Andre Ward. . . But Ward refused to fight Kessler in Denmark. . Despite the fact that Kessler fought him in his backyard - Ward doesn't believe in fair deals, or square deals.
    Is cloud the only big name for Kessler to fight? Is that what your say? Cloud or nothing?

        both look much better than they did at the media day. to be fair, these are older guys, and they're invariably getting exhausted after many weeks of training.\

        kessler via stoppage. maybe mcgee plays it cool and survives. he'll try and win though, i'd think, and that will lend itself to eating kessler's power shots.

          yeah magee isnt the type to be content with losing a decision. And he'll get up if he gets floored (if he can) and go back for some more

          Would love Magee to get the upset but i reckon Kessler stops him in about 8-10 rounds, although he wont have it all his own way

            It's an easy payday with very little risk. And he gets to look like a monster in front of his home crowd.

              Still a waste of time for everyone but Magee, anything less than a brutal ko win for Kessler might as well be a loss at this stage of his career.
