Yeah probably about as much reality as FWs £1.5m offer to Kessler

Weird that no one has any info at all on the alledged Kessler offer.

Gotta be Taylor next

Honestly...I just don't understand it. As a 9 year 168lb champion with 19 defences...you unify...not fwockin diversify.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... Very nicely put.......

Waste of F****** time!!!

I agree

It doesnt help Calzaghe that all the downgrading things he's saying about Manfredo is true and he is still fighting him

What other evidence COULD there be?

Palle has stated WHEN he sendt the offer and WHAT the offer contained.
He has also told that it was refused.

What other evidence would you expect to find?

You don't expect that the receiver of the offer is gonna come out in public saying "yeah we received this offer. It's the biggest purse of Joe's carreer so far, but we're not gonna accept it".

Palle's claims were made public - in detail - in most major danish media-outlets and quoted repeatedly in the international boxing-media.

If Calzaghe/Warren believes he's lying, they should bloody well take him up on it and expose him. Or they could sue him for liabel.
But no - they prefer the "let's ignore Kessler" tactics. - That tells a story.

Don't expect the two of you to ever come out and admit it - but you've got a very poor case.
Lame!

CC I was wondering the same thing myself, what does he wan't a written letter of rejection signed by Joe Calzaghe... Everyone heard that the offer was made.. It's just Frank WArren and Calzaghe didn't even respond to it.

**thewhale** · 11-26-2006 12:24 PM

Well regarding the offer from Palle and Kessler. They did make the offer, but this is important Mogens Palle also said it was a JOKE after Frank Warren had refused it. The offer was only made to prove that Calzaghe did not want to fight Kessler.

Warren on the otherhand said the the fight could not justify the amount of money involved. And maybe he is sick of Palle and his tactics.

At least Kessler is going to proves his worth against Andrade and I hope he wins. I still don't understand why Calzaghe didn't want to unify the belts. Since a majority of his own fans want that as well. That was also the reason I was hoping for Kessler unification is big.

Exactly right mate. There is so much pressure now on Joe to dominate this guy, and so there should be... its the same kind of way he was expected to spark Bika, and lets face it Bika aint getting knocked out any time soon by anyone.

cheers for the cc and welcome to the board also man
