Froch vs. Stevenson for April/May time, No agreement for Kessler

[IamInuit]

After years of fighting the best fighters I guess he deserves to fight at least a couple of pricks.

Stevesons no bum. Packs one hell of a punch. I deffo give him a shot against Froch

stevenson is his mandatory i am quite sure... i also thought that this was a plan by whichever governing body made him number 1 contendor to get the belt back to bute S:.. make some canadian mandatory and threaten to strip froch of the belt if he don't fight him when froch is on the doorstep of some big money fights v kessler and ward again S:..... strip froch so stevenson and bute fight for the vacant title and then bute can win and go back into hiding in canada.... but froch has blocked this plan by taking the fight S: errrr this makes sense in my head anyway..

Nah. I said from the start maybe not as often here that Kessler has lost the edge. He doesn't have it anymore and I could see it when he exited the tourney. With all his bravado and agreeing to the 2 mil a piece and going to Nottingham bla bla bla. He knew dam well all along that Froch had a mandatory coming up and if he would have agreed to fight Froch that it would have most likely been postponed given Froch agreeing to fight Stevenson within 90 days after Kessler should he have won. I predict that Kessler will not fight an elite fighter at 168 and will either retire after a variety of pastry chefs with his trinket or move to 175 for some other weak trinket.

Man, IamInuit, I don't know what Kessler did but you are down on that dude!

I used to like him but he has become a bit of a poser. He's starting to remind me of Sven Ottke. It can be traced back to the Calzaghe fight. Joe took away his air of invincibility and I think that changed him. Ward and Froch took his soul. Its nothing personal as he seems like a nice enough guy but I just don't think he has it anymore and is paranoid to leave Denmark or fight the top dogs. I hope I'm wrong but I think he will be satisfied to have one of the many "regular" titles flogged around boxing and his stalwart fans that will lap it up and believe its everyone elses fault as to why he toils with no hopers.

Again I hope I'm wrong and will be happy to eat crow if I am.
