Kessler vs Ward II in Denmark is close.

lol is that why he turned down bute(career high pay day) and stevenson? he was too good for them. he tried to fight sartison and then fought rodriguez. that is called cherry picking.

Bute, Sartison, Stevenson. Ward is too good for them. Beating Rodriguez proved it.

If that's what you call beating everyone in his division...

How about after the super 6....

Knocked out lineal LHW Champ Chad Dawson (albeit not at his most comfortable weight) and then had a tune up against an undefeated top 10 contender. The rest of the time he was inactive.

weird. I thought these two assholes retired already.

Kessler is probably Sauerlands highest grossing Star, it's not a surprise they'd want him to fight again.

He wont be getting that much for this fight. Apparently he has turned down bigger purses for lesser names.

Why don't sauerland match up Kessler with Abraham . They promote both fighters.

TV rights difficulty.

Abraham is contracted to a free to air channel in both Denmark and Germany whereas Kessler is a PPV star in Denmark.

George Groves
James Degale
Robert Stieglitz
Gilberto Ramirez
JCC jr

Are just some of the names that he could have easily fought in the last 36 months.

Sauerland don't match their fighters against each other, something we have accused al haymon of in the past
