    Kessler officially fought for the WBC Silver title at 175 against Allan Green, but was already clearly past his prime. At his best (from Mundine to Calzaghe), would the Viking Warrior, moving eight pounds north, beat any of these LHW champions or title holders of the past decade or so? (I'm not including Ward. Been there, done that.)

    Stevenson, Campillo, Cloud & Pascal would be very winable matchups for him.
    Dawson & Gvozdyk are tough to pick imo.
    Beterbiev, Bivol & Kovalev would be too much.

    Well if Pascal can have success there Kessler could.. he's better.. he had the frame of a light heavyweight as well, but he was obviously more comfortable at super middleweight hence why he stayed there .. I can certainly see him beating the likes of Dawson, Johnson Pascal etc tho ..
