What if Kessler grabs the IBF belt?

[El Kabong]

Mike D....who the hell is Mike D

Titles don't make the man....the man makes the titles.

Case in point Nicolay Valuev, "won" his title in a place where he'd have to be KO'd to lose, won it off of John Ruiz by a decision Ruiz still disputes, 1st defense Owen Beck IN GERMANY, 2nd defense vs Monte Barrett Chicago, 3rd defense vs Jameel McCline SWITZERLAND!!!!

WBA = CRAP

Well first off is not gonna happen because IBF will not rank Kessler since he is a world champion. The only way Kessler would get a shot at the title would be if the new IBF champ would face him.

The true champ will not be revealed until Calzaghe fights Kessler, no matter what the belts say.

But Calzaghe will run instead. I don't think it's him really, but Warren pulling the strings. I mean Bika, then Manfredo?

....Kessler fans have no room to talk about opponents! Eric Lucas what was he 52

You are so stupid,i hope not it hurt you

Didn't Beyer have to use a walker in his ring entrance



I wouldn't say anything if Kessler actually beat SOMEONE under 35....not even someone good, just SOMEONE

He beat Anthony Mundine in Australia when anthony was 30.

Kessler should do anything but NOT WAIT FOR JC! He needs to stay active.(being a margarito fan I can tell you it's a toall fricking pain in the ass watching you fighter wait for someone in particaulr,stay inactive and still not get him). Kessler shoud go for the IBF title if he can afford the sanctioning fees.


By the way,with that RING mag thing,JC has the RING title right? What would happen if Kessler won the IBF title,that would mean he had 3 titles?!? Who would be the true champ?! And MR.mANICK,what makes the WBO title any less worthy than the other alphabet soup titles? Is the IBF better than the WBC? Why? I'm just wondering,I get confused with this title stuff!

[superheavyrhun]

I can't wait, let Mikkel get that belt....I will love watching him try to hand pick his oppenents then!!!

Jermain Taylor
B-Hop


but in my opinion Calzaghe NEEDS to fight and beat this dude

As far as I can see BHop is moving up to the big money HW division, or if not I'd expect him to stay around lightheavy rather than come back down to SMW. And the next big buckser for Jermain Taylor would have to be a rematch against Winky. I'm not overly convinced that Kessler would want to go in for the IBF belt, unless the IBF let him put it on his next defence, along with his other straps, rumoured to be a mandatory for one of the other belts against Lucian Bute in March.

Did anyone find out who the fwock was Mike D in the end, cause its a mystery to me!

Mike D., hes one of the "posse" in the Beastie Boys.... :P
Joe Vs Kess will never happen.
Kess should go for all 3(would he really lose money in fees with 3 belts?)
And the WBA is like the "minor leauges" of the boxing world.

He beat Anthony Mundine in Australia when anthony was 30.

Yes but you know even though he beat Mundine, he did not KO him. And this is widespread knowledge, Sven Ottke who had 6 KO's TOTAL was able to KO Anthony Mundine.

You're telling me this guy is a good boxer and he doesn't fight the best and then you tell me he's a big puncher but he can't KO Mundine....not to crack on him but Sven Ottke, his stats speak for his ability as a fighter and of course so do Kessler's.

Fighting outside of Denmark every once in a while would be nice to....being a WORLD champion, I expect it. I think it's great for boxing that the great fighters go outside of their home country to fight every now and then.

Lyle I think you grossly underrate Mundine and Beyer's boxing ability!! I'd say they are both in the top 5 at SM. Forget about Ottke, it really isnt relevent in comparison to Anthony Mundine of 2006.

[El Kabong]

I know Mundine is a good boxer as WAS Beyer but the FACT is that Anthony got seriously ROCKED by Sven Ottke even though Mundine was winning the fight (which would have been damn near impossible to WIN on the cards in germany).....but you have to ask WHY wasn't Mikkel Kessler the big imposing Viking Warrior not able to hurt Anthony or stop him?

Beyer was just old...he was on the slide...he drew with Bika before this fight and Kessler took advantage of a more war ridden aging boxer.

I don't WANT to hate Kessler but his fans are assholes and he has yet to prove himself. Yes he looks like he has the goods but looking and actually HAVING the goods are two completely different things. Like PBF I want Kessler to be seriously challenged and earn my respect.
