Kessler is the class of a great division, but unfortunately he'll fade into the background before he ever gets another meaningful fight. Kessler/Dawson at a catchweight is one of the best five fights that could be made in all of boxing right now -- too bad it'll never happen.
The fact that all Kessler has been able to do since November of '07--after an impressive showing in defeat against a great Calzaghe--is fight two unworthy mandatories really bespeaks the avaricious and underhanded nature of boxing at its worst.
