Kessler is gonna fight in the US on March 14.

[Jan(DK)]

LOL, GTFOH with the Ottke love. That man was horrible.

I.am surely not a fan but he wasn't horrible as a fighter. I would carriers him like Wright - doll as hell but difficult to defeat.

[BattlingNelson]

Ok, whatever. I just think that is ridiculous but you are entitled to your opinion.

And why do you think it's ridiculos? Since you use that term I look forward to read about the gulf in oppositions class you think there is.

[MANGLER]

He needs a good action fight against a tough opponent to show he ain't just an overhyped paper champ. I'm gettin as frustrated wit Kessler as I've gotten wit Winky Wright.

well one things for sure everyone in boxing especially the harcore fans and alot of the Uk and european fans are breathing a collective sigh of relief, we will finally see just how ood or bad kess is, whether or not he is the real deal or a circus act?

personally i believe that on talent and fighting style alone he is top 10 p4p, however i am a fan of his and realize that he has not beaten enough good competition to truly warrant such a lofty status.

a fight with bika or miranda would be good exposure for him and show his skills to a bigger market and a bigger audience. a fight with bika in particular would make him unavoidable to taylor or froch as he'd have the WBA and IBO and probably the ring magazine belt.

all i can say is thank **** hes gonna get his ass over to the states, it been coming for a long time.

personally i think mikkel is looking to unify the SMW divsion and then move up and challenge dawson. he is very big, in fact huge for a SMW and has 2 more years tops at SMW before he will have to move up.

So who are all the elite fighters that Anthony Mundine has conquered? How about Siaca? Lucas? Beyer?

What? Oh, thought so.

Mundine? this is about Dawson/Kessler. Mundine is a good win as good as a 41yo Tarver.

maybe hopkins is scared of airplanes like sissy calzaghe. oh woops joe was able to make it over for the farce of a fight against jones to steal millions of dollars from boxing.

Maybe you don't know what the **** it is you're talking about.

I think it is ridiculous because Anthony Mundine is Mikkel's best win right now. Anthony Mundine. You could make a case for Andrade I guess, but I would still go with Mundine.

You seem to place a lot of emphasis on taking titles off guys Bat, too much IMO. Kess took a title of Beyer. So what? He is a B level fighter. Guys like Lucas, Siaca, these guys just aren't any good. They are nothing better than solid wins.

Basically, Harding is probably as good a win as Kessler has had. Adamek is without a doubt a better win. Then you got Johnson and Tarver. Two guys you say are old and shot, but both of these guys peaked late in their careers and still presented great challenges.

Basically, I think it is pretty useless debating Kessler with you. I am a fan but I manage to remain objective. You cannot do this.

Calzaghe was the draw - Jones the stealer so what are you talking about ????

In America, the Country where the best fighters in the world make their names. (Pacquiao, Mayweather, Barrera, Morales, Ali, Louis, Robinson, Leonard, Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Chavez, De La Hoya, Hagler, Hearns, Duran, Jones, Hopkins, etc, etc, etc....)

They have far more people at fights in Wales than anywhere in the US - Calzaghe vs. Kessler drew close to 60,000. When was the last time that many people attended a fight in the US?

The US is overrated, just like it's fighters are overrated.
