Well if that's true, then there goes the last remnants of Calzaghe's (well just his fans really) "Well Kessler had a mandatory, so it couldn't happen" excuse.

It does surprice me though. Andrade is as far as i can tell still ranked no. 1 by the WBC at SMW. Doesn't seem likely that he would abandon it now when he's finally very close to a title-shot.

Even IF he doesn't fancy his chances against Kessler. Wouldn't he give it his best shot?

If in fact it is true - then where does it leave Kessler?
Bute, inkin and.... ..Froch are among the secondary ranked at WBC - who's gonna get a mandatory... and when?
(Bute would in my opinion be clearly the biggest threat)

I also heard a rumour that Woods were in talks with the Kessler camp about a fight at LHW. Is it even remotely possible that Kessler would abandon his titles for a Woods fight just yet?
After his fight against Grant about 2 days later I saw an interview where he said he felt he was gonna be ignored by ALL the SMW who hold belts, he said he was willing to move up in weight and see if anyone there would be willing to give him a shot, it could be just him trying his luck but moving up and down in weight is not good for him...
