Kessler has done some amazing things in his career he did not need a career defining fight against Froch or Ward and ward are on to higher and bigger things and especially with fried ch is trying to put the icing on his cake of a wonderful career when Froch knocks out the Charlatans named Chavez jr. In Las Vegas then retire

Re: Mikkel Kessler calls it a day
I don't think this is the end for him.
He has a big name and good following and there isn't massive depth at super middle. He will make a high profile opponent for someone needing to make a defence on a big show.

Re: Mikkel Kessler calls it a day
He said that he's been offered fights and decent money but it doesn't motivate him. He wants a Froch or ward type fight.Originally Posted by ross

Good for him, hope it sticks and he finds something to replace boxing in his life.

Best of luck to him, he was one of my all time favourite fighters. I think he took too long to decide what he wanted to do after the Froch defeat, and that's why the big fight isn't there now.
Gave Calzaghe and Ward the toughest fights of their careers, which is no mean feat.

Re: Mikkel Kessler calls it a day
All the best to him. He never recovered mentally from the Calzaghe throttling. I think that was compounded by Ward.

Re: Mikkel Kessler calls it a day
Kessler is a good guy and gives it his all. I think he still can have that rubber match with Froch or Ward eventually but he does not want to wait. If Froch can not get Chavez then Kessler in Vegas in a neutral venue would be perfect.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

LOL! Hope he can find things to fill idle time, instead of having coke line competitions with Hatton.

He was a good fighter and always gave his best. He never quite cemented himself as the best 168 lber in the world.

I may have to watch that fight again. I don't remember a throttling. I thought it was competitive early, including a big uppercut that hurt Calzaghe a little. Then Calzaghe adjusting and Mikkel not having a plan B.
