Kessler scared of Pantera?

[p4pking]

Miranda/Miranda's people have a habit of putting out press releases like this. It may well be true and Kessler is looking for an easy fight in Denmark before he goes in with somebody good again but more likely Miranda is just one of several people he's negotiating with and they may well still fight next. Or Kessler might not be ready to go back into training yet. I don't think he'd be worried about fighting Miranda.

Have some rep, I agree with that completely. Whatever the reason that Kessler didn't accept this fight, I can't possibly see it as him being concerned about how dangerous Miranda is or w/e. Kessler would absolutely murder him imo, he couldn't miss with the 1-2 and easily hits hard enough to do what Pavlik did to Edison. If anything it would just be a more precise beatdown, as he's very accurate, a little faster than Kelly, technically better and just as strong, if not powerful. I do respect that Miranda wanted the fight though and put forth an offer. He's definetly good for the sport. I just hope I'm not proven wrong and Kessler signs to fight a no hoper. Can't see why he'd want a confidence builder as he did very well for himself against Calzaghe even taking the 12th strong.

I'd like to see a Kessler response,this is all rather one sided. Is there any fighter out there Pantera won't call out lol. A real warrior:

Wants Pavlik rematch

Wants Taylor from beef at 160

Wants Kessler

Wants Pascal

Why would Kessler be scared of Miranda? I mean he just fought Calzaghe!

Exactly, fear ain't no issue its about making the best business decision.

But this would be a great business decision and a great great fight. I have no doubt Kessler would win but it would really exiting.

And just a week ago he told Abraham to come to America and meet him at 165lbs so he could finish the job the ref wouldnt let him do in Germany!
(and for the record, he doesnt really want the Pascal fight. It is a fight the promoters were trying to push)

His promoter put out a press release yesterday. Title is "Miranda is one of the options", and the main point in the press release is that there have been contacts among the camps, and that Palle has been talking to HBO about the fight. Also they're saying Kessler wouldnt mind taking the fight for the right amount of money, but that there is also other options in consideration at this point.

If interested it can be read here, although in Danish. Bear in mind that the truth is probably somewhere in between the various biased press releases...

I'm a fan of both fighters, but I really seriously doubt that Kessler is scared of Miranda. Kessler would out-box Pantera all day long, quite possibly stopping him IMO. Kessler would allow Miranda to come forward and bomb him with counters all night long, I don't even think it would be competitive, but maybe I'm over-rating Kessler.
I'd much rather see Miranda take on Taylor, who I think he has a better chance of beating.
