Kessler`s training video

[Rantcatrat]

Kessler has to fight Haussler,he is his mandatory,even team palle says it is a shit fight

Palle: This is a purse bid I did not want to win

Gotcha.

But remember Chad Dawson was recently faced with a similar situation. Chad Dawson's mandatory was Adrian Diaconu, but rather than fight Diaconu for the strap, he decided to relinquish the strap in order to gain recognition from a fight with a bigger name opponent, Antonio Tarver. In that scenario, arguably Dawson was ducking Diaconu to fight someone with less pop, but the point still stands: the utility of a belt is that it gets you champion status and big fights. Tell me I'm wrong, but if you can already land the big fights why settle for a BS mandatory fight unless it is a tune-up (see Pavlik's destruction of Gary Lockett)?

Another reason to doubt Kessler's current status is his inactivity. Why has Kessler only fought twice (both European club fighters) since his Calzaghe defeat a year ago? Compare his activity and level-of-opposition to another of Calzaghe's victims: Peter Manfredo. Since being destroyed by Calzaghe (six months before the Calzaghe v. Kessler fight), Manfredo has fought 6x, including a losing bout with Jeff Lacy, which was very close, and his next fight is against Sakio Bika. I'm not heaping praise on Manfredo, and I think Bika will maul him, but the inactivity of Kessler may reflect his confidence and motivation.

Kessler was injured after Calzaghe fight,so therefore his inactivity

Considering his choices of opponents and his inactivty, you are not a little concerned with Kessler? I understand the injury caused his inactivity, but still...
