Is Kessler vs Calzaghe going to happen??

[chum112]

The fact that they have not made a deal yet, pretty much means negotiations have failed. The fight is not going to happen. Anyone else feel this way?

Maybe but you should change your thread title because your misleading people that think you may have official news. Use some question marks or something.

I was thinking the same thing. However, I feel that they're still trying to sort out the negotiations etc with HBO on the date, and who pays what, which is holding things up. There's too much money for it to get held up by all the little things.

chum should change his name to chump..

as of now, palle has stated, that warren is doing business with hbo, warren trying to squeze 5 mill dol for the fight, but hbo doesnt think the fight is of that value..

palle has previous said, that he would stage the fight in denmark and sent offers to warren and joe, but both promoters were of the understanding the fight would create a bigger sum in britain, therefore warren is doing the talking with hbo, milking the cash cow as much as he can..

should the hbo say no to 5 and offer less, i surely assume that palle´s offer is still standing..

it's gunna happen, just kessler and palle being awkward as usual... only reason there is quiet now because they are running out of excuses and reasons to postpone the fight... wont be much longer before it is anounced.

Thanks to whoever changed the thread name. Would have saved some confusion, cheers. I just hope this fight happens though. Its what boxing needs and we want. I so badly wanna see this fight. Im sure we all feel the same.

If it happens brilliant if it does'nt then fair enough im not thinking about it anymore let the money men sort it if not Kessler then we get another bum and that should'nt bother us because we've grown used to Calzaghe fighting bums.

I can actually see something fucking this fight up.

I'm actually beginning to think we're gunna end up seeing both sides making excuses for the fight falling through, Kessler will go off and fight Mundine while Calzaghe will probably end up fighting Tarver. This is getting a little irritating that this one won't come off.

If it doesnt i will be truely gutted! I would hope JC can fight a worthy top name at 168 if he cant get the Kessler fight. Fighting an old but attractive name would only equal one outcomel, a JC win.

to be honest, the only real name at 168 for calzaghe is kessler, everyone else is noone you are gunna look back on and say "fair enough he beat that guy.."

Kessler is the only fight i want to see Joe in next. Taylor, wright hopkins, carl the fraud froch, mundine, tarver are all unexceptable..

If team kessler are still being fuck wits and wont man up, i think calzaghe should go for dawson at LHW.

If team kessler are still being F*** wits and wont man up, i think calzaghe should go for dawson at LHW.

so your saying dawson is a bigger name on his record than Taylor, wright and hopkins? I think in terms of legacy he would fight one of those names instead of Dawson.

If it doesnt go through the 2 names which i think would attract British attention would be Carl Froch at 168 and Clinton woods at 175. They would fill a good stadium to the tops, they have a bigger name than Dawson over in the UK IMO.

This is typical when it comes to calzaghe....more talking about fights then actual fighting. I wouldn't be surprised if a month from now we're still asking the same question...

Well, you see that tends to happen quite a bit on boxing forums....if there is no fight with a definite date set, then people tend to talk about fights that could happen.

names are one thing, threat is another.

Tbh fuck taylor coz people are just hanging on to this guy coz he beat hopkins. he has been shit in his last three fights, doesn't belong in the top 20 p4p right now let alone the top 10 - yet people have him in it, fuck that!

If calzaghe fought taylor now it would be a case of "he was overrated, only beat an old hopkins, or he was to small (even tho he is bigger than calzaghe just fights at MW) or i thought spinks won that last fight anyhow and judh beat him!"

Hopkins - he is to old, be a good notch for calzaghe but it wudnt mean fuck all IMO... that fight should of happened 5 years ago, completely pointless now...

Wright, good fighter but was at his limit at MW imo, SMW and LHW he is way out of his depth... this is a guy who can't punch for shit yet fights like a punche,r has the style of a puncher, it works at LMW coz of the lack of power there... @ middle it was less efective, it was a damn close fight with taylor, taylorsnatural strengh and power advantage alowed him to get pucnhes off on wright that smaller boxers wern't able to. He may beat hopkins, fair play to him if he does,but it will be close and hopkins is ollllllllld

If wright one sides hopkins i would say fair enough maybe a fight with him for joe would be good, otherwise its kessle or Dawson, fuck his name or how big he is right now, the boo boys willclaim dawson was to green or some other excuse they been using to degrade calzagh's wins all these years, wont change the fact he would of beaten the best LHW out there tho should he win...

+ Dawson is going to go on and do impressive things at LHW - calzaghe beating him will become more and more impressive as the years go bye - All the focus should be on kessler, but it seems more and more that this guy and all his dares and complete bullshit.

Tbh F*** taylor coz people are just hanging on to this guy coz he beat hopkins. he has been S*** in his last three fights, doesn't belong in the top 20 p4p right now let alone the top 10 - yet people have him in it, F*** that!

If calzaghe fought taylor now it would be a case of "he was overrated, only beat an old hopkins, or he was to small (even tho he is bigger than calzaghe just fights at MW) or i thought spinks won that last fight anyhow and judh beat him!"

fair points which can be true! But JC aint got long left now has he? So the people who support him want to see his with names that mean a dam at this present time! But IMO I dont think Dawson fills that slot. In the boxing world he is a big name but i just can see more attraction to JC-Hopkins more than JC-Dawson IMO. People from Britain i dont think really dont follow Dawson and IMO i think JC should stay at 168 and try and get rid of all these undeafeted names who will be a threat in the future.
