    The promotional dispute is preventing him from fighting? If so, he should get a pass.

    It's not just that. He hasn't won a big-time fight since 2007 and his last two opponents have been below-average fighters. Additionally, he hasn't fought in six months and nothing is on the horizon. Meanwhile, everyone else in the division has been busy.

    It sucks that Kess is caught up in this legal battle. Palle is a ruthless piece of shit. I guess we should be thankful that Mikkel has kept going along with things so far against his will as it'd be terrible to see another Mads Larsen situation. This pointless WBA madatory goes to purse bid at the end of July so he'll be fighting Perdomo (who?) next, whilst Palle still insists he has upto 2 more fights after that to fulfil his contract.

    Part of me agrees that he should be dropped from the number 1 spot, behind Froch and Bute. They're both more active, fighting the higher calibre opponents and they're free to take on any bouts at their will. But then on the flip side, when I imagine either of those fighters going up against Kess I can't see them giving him a problem. Froch would get whipped by Kessler imo, and Bute would most probably fall late in the fight.

    I never thought of it that way! I always believed Kessler is the best in the division, but he has to prove it to hold that rating. I'm really upset about his opposition lately. He must've taken that Calzaghe loss a lot harder than we all thought. He needs to get a bunch of "tune-ups" out of the way so his confidence is completely back.

    Joe Calzaghe said he wants to promote him

    a bit ironic for Froch if it happens ........

    Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision.

    What Joe Calzaghe should do is fight him again!

    In all truth Calzaghe couldnt organise a piss up in the pub, his latest show in wales was cancelled because of the lack of intrest, Calzaghe couldnt promote Kessler, i really cant see Calzaghe doing much in the promotional buisiness if im honest maybe on a welsh level but not even on a british level.
