An open letter from Mikkel Kessler to Jeff Lacy
An open letter from Mikkel Kessler to Jeff Lacy
Hello Mr. Lacy:
Although we have never met, we have much in common. For starters, you are an undefeated world super middleweight boxing champion (IBF) and so I am I (WBA).
Like me, you are not afraid to take your gloves on the road if it means facing the toughest competition you can find. For example, I recently went Down Under to defend my world title against Anthony Mundine and you are willing to go to the United Kingdom to fight WBO 168-pound champion Joe Calzaghe.
I share your frustration in dealing with Mr. Calzaghe and his promoter, Fearless Frank Warren. My manager-promoter, Bettina Palle along with her father, Danish legend Mogens Palle, were thisclose, or so we thought, to making a deal for me to do a title unification match against Calzaghe. Like you, I was also prepared to go to the UK to face the oft-injured Calzaghe.
I am in agreement with you and your promoter, Big Gary Shaw, that it was idiotic for Calzaghe to do that fight with a virtual midget Evans Ashira. This was not even a true "tune up" in preparation for a showdown with you. In fact, it may have turned into a "tune out" bout by wrecking your title unifier against Calzaghe.
Another thing we have in common right now is that we both need an attractive opponent for our next fight. My dance card looks limited and so does yours. So I think you know where I am going with this.
Lacy vs. Kessler. Kessler vs. Lacy. Tampa-St. Petersburg or Copenhagen. The location does not matter much. But you must admit our two names linked together does have a sweet ring to it.
You bring your world title belt and I will bring mine.
My people have made it clear to Big Gary Shaw and to Showtime that I am ready, willing and available for this super showdown assuming that proper conditions and terms can be agreed to by the parties.
No one has ever accused you of ducking or dodging opponents. The same can be said for me. Let the duckers and the dodgers sit on the sidelines where they belong.
There can be only true ruler of the super middleweight division.
Is the real king of the 168-pounders you or is it me?
I am ready to find out.
Sincerely,
UNDEFEATED WBA SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMP MIKKEL KESSLER

Re: An open letter from Mikkel Kessler to Jeff Lacy
Ha, you posted literally the same thing like 2 years ago when this actually happened. What did you call yourself back then? I forget.
Re: An open letter from Mikkel Kessler to Jeff Lacy
Um so this letter is what? at least 2 and a half years old?
Thanks for the "cutting edge" news.

Remember friend that Kessler asked Lacy for a fight before the Calzaghe fight - and he even asked Lacy for the fight in Florida for only one million US dollars..... - he backed out of the fight - .......
Re: An open letter from Mikkel Kessler to Jeff Lacy
No you twit. If you remember correctly, this letter came out after the fight was delayed and Lacy said he would no longer fight unless Calzaghe comes to America. That's when this came out. Then a week after this letter came out, Lacy agreed to go to the UK for a bigger cut then what he had before and that was that. Lacy didn't duck Kessler, you can't duck someone if you are slated to fight someone more highly ranked. At the time it was Calzaghe, Lacy and Kessler as 1,2,3 in the Ring rankings.

No, friend - Kessler asked Lacy out between the Beyer and Calzaghe fight - and Lacy backed out

Can you blame him? He was coming off his career worst loss and obviously didn't want to fight a top rated guy. What has Kessler been doing since his loss?

Re: An open letter from Mikkel Kessler to Jeff Lacy
Legion was going to make a Danish joke but given VD's banning I don't think I want to walk the tight rope. Even though Royal likes to say that Lacy are black, overrated midget turtle.
