Calzaghe offers to manage Kessler

[TheMacMagician]

I really hope Kessler has the ambition to get to the top, as i think he has the goods. Would love to see him in with Froch after the Taylor fight, feel Froch would definately struggle with the big dane.

if Joe Is As Good A Manager As A Fighter Than Kessler Would Be Well Advised To Take Him Up On It.lets Not Forget Hatton And Pac Are Only Fighting For The Best P4p Because Joe Retired.

Kessler is apparently training for a mandatory against some nonentity. It looks like he's decided not to go the Mads Larsen route and retire rather than fight for Palle again. If he doesn't manage to get out of his Palle contract without it going to court it's unlikely we'll see him in any big fights again, which is a real shame. He's easily the best 168 pounder. I hope I'm wrong and he fights Bute, Taylor/Froch winner and moves up to 175, but I think Palle has him by the balls. Maybe he gets a big fight at the end of his contract, but isn't that another six fights or so?

If that's the case, he should fight six times this year. All the guys in the WBA top 10 are stiffs except Ward. The number one contender is total tomato can. He's going to need to vacate that WBA belt and go for a unification match with Bute or Froch/Taylor if he wants to make a good fight and keep a belt.

If Taylor wins, I'm sure HBO would be interested in Kessler v Taylor and that might bring enough money for his current management to go for it. The risk-reward on that one would be pretty good. Froch - Kessler sounds more like a Showtime fight, probably shown on delay, but it might gate better and make it worth it for that.

Palle is probably looking to have him fight stiffs until he can make a fight with Balzsay. That's the safest fight with any shred of credibility.

He can only fight when Palle does a promotion so twice a year or thereabouts. From what I read about the contract Palle has him by the balls.
