According to a danish newspaper yesterday the WBA supermiddleweight champion Mikkel Kessler might move up to 175 lbs. Manager Mogens Palle says "Mikkel must move to LHW to get the big fight. There are no proper opponents left at SMW. Only Joe Calzaghe and he said that he'd never fight Kessler again. I guess he's scared of losing."
Palle apparently still has his eyes fixed on Roy Jones jr.
Mikkel Kessler doesn't seem to exited: "I feel strong in my weightclass. Nobody is stronger than me. I have fast hands and I can punch. But of course it depends. If I got an offer from a guy only 3 kg.'s heavier why wouldn't I do it? I just have to know well in advance."
I see Palle's point. No big names at SMW is available in the immidiate future.
Taylor will likely fight Lacy
Calzaghe will fight RJJ
Pavlik must fight Abraham before moving up
Bute will fight Andrade
That leaves just about nobody since a fight with Froch likely wont attract a viewing audience in the US.
I hope he is gunning for Dawson.
