    How about Antonio Tarver?

    He's the odd man out, as everyone else seems to be securing big fights.

    Pavlik. All out war and Pavlik would finally be tested against a fighter who has no visible flaws.

    My prediction is late round TKO for Kessler in a FOTY candidate. Kessler is too solid for Pavlik to just walk through.

    Taylor, Pavlik, or Dawson. We can only hope from Kesslers perspective that Bute wins over Andrade, because a rematch between Andrade and Kessler does not seem valid. Truthfully, Kessler is running low on top fighters to fight.

    It makes me sick that Lacy and Inkin aren't going anywhere - same applies to Mundine.

    No. Oops, I was supposed to pick an aggressive boxer? Sorry about that.

    Still, Antonio Tarver should be the one facing Joe Calzaghe, not Roy Jones jr., considering Tarver defeated a top-10 light-heavyweight in Woods, whearas Jones decisioned blown-up middleweight Trinidad.

    Anyway, how about Kessler-Felix Sturm? WHERE IS FELIX STURM!!!

    There is more sense in facing RJJ than Tarver. It is a money fight only, and therefore it makes more sense.

    Sturm is still at MW. I don't think he has any plans of moving up.

    Kessler-Jeff Lacy could still happen; Lacy's going to box in July on ESPN2, if he wins, it could be a decent match.

    It could very well happen, but Lacy have failed to impress against decent comp at best. His fight against a MW doesn't seem like he really wants to get back on track...

    Sturm is fighting next saturday, a rematch with Randy Griffin, which is honourable considering that Griffin got a draw in the first fight which was pretty good. If he wins, he's got 120 days to fight his mandatory Sebastian Sylvester.
    So rule him out.

    Kesslers next fight should be against Taylor. There is no sense in fighting Haussler, seen from both sides of their camps....

    Taylor - then Froch or Bute would be very good. Lacy and Green are also logical opponents but Kessler ultimately has to wait for his shot at Pavlik. This is the fight that could make him a superstar.

    Pantera. Just too shut him up. (Though to be fair AA did that :D)

    Bute would be a good fight, arguably the two best suppermiddles atm. Unlikely to happen though. Maybe he will step up to light-heavy.
