    This is too dumb to even respond to.

      I'll be willing to take any bet that GGG doesn't knock Kessler out - If the fight is made at 168.

      No way.

        Make it for the Fall if a Martinez fight can't be made. You'd have to go to Denmark though. Don't see big money in the U.S offered by HBO for Kessler

          missed whatever Kessler's announcement was
          thought he was gonna retire, glad he didn't
          still not buying GGG jumping to SMW and being the same guy
          don't doubt that a rusty, aging Kessler can beat him
          that's an action fight, good proving ground for both guys
          hope they do this

              K, no longer excited.

                  Geale probably would be a tougher fight than Kessler at this point but you can't blame Golovkin for wanting Kessler. Its a bigger name and brings in a lot more money.

                    because he can make the same money fighting cans in copenhagen and he doesnt seem to be interested in challenging himself anymore unless the pay is bananas. GGG dont bring that kind of money and kessler aint willing to get knocked out for small figures.

                    if the fight happens i will gladly admit im wrong and give kessler props for stepping up, but i just dont see it happening. his match ups with top guys are few and far in between, he just fought froch so i reckon we are in for 2-3 years of boudala type opposition for the "great" dane.

                      I happened to be at the presser the other day where Kessler clearly said he wasn't going to fight any 'cans'. He's coming back to become champion and he mentioned Ward, Froch, Groves and GGG as the only options for him.

                      I think it's quite clear Kessler has never ducked anyone, and I don't think he would start now.
