    Can Kessler even still make 168 pounds after all this time off ?

    I have always had a soft spot for Kessler, and a part of me wants to see him make a comeback. But I don't see him being able to compete now.
    His two fights against Froch were great, but he was never the same after the Calzaghe fight and those injuries that came later. And with all this time off now? 4 years? He should stay retired and enjoy time with his family.

    I wish he'd stay retired, but seeing Bute's success against DeGale and Jack, I could see Kessler being able to eked out a few wins over the current top guys in the division, but I'd prefer an old fogey tour with him facing Bute, Abraham, he could take a Zeuge or a Chudinov, I doubt they could hang with him even now.

    I'm not sure Kessler's style and attributes suit a long lay-off and a comeback in his late 30s...

    Press conference just finished. Kessler is back, but nothing planned yet.

    Lots of talk about Kessler coming back to compete in the Super Series tournament. Is it confirmed that super middleweight is a participating weight division?
