    I can only say that Kessler will be at ringside (calzaghe/Jones) to promoted himself in the U.S.

    My god, I hate all the american boxers with not very impressiv records, who just can pick who the **** they want too for there next fight! Love boxing - but hate the buisness!!!!!

    Kessler would beat the crap out of Froch.

    If Froch even gets into the ring with Kessler, at any time, for any reason, I'll wear an avatar with him for two weeks, as I've promissed I'd do since Froch first mentioned he'd KO Kessler. :yep

    If i was him id go for Jermain Taylor or Bernard Hopkins.

    Two big names and very winnable fights for Kessler.

    I really think it is up to Taylor and Hopkins to take these fights. Kessler wants them, but lets face it he's not calling the shots here...

    Hopkins a very winnable fight? :nono
    How so? The latest version of Bhop would strongly disagree.

    Yeah I think that Hopkins would give Kessler a Pavlik like beatting. The two are almost the same fighter, except Pavlik to me seems to have more fire and is more willing to get after it, and has abit more power while Kessler maybe abit better techincally.

    Hey man, don´t put the words in my mouth. I´m not saying that Kessler can´t win! But... Bhop is a tricky fella, and he proved that he still is in top of his game. Im sure though, that Kessler would give a much better perfomance that Pavlik. He would not get Pavlikated:bart

    Yeah he would...Kessler has shown that he cant adjust in fights, if you cant adjust Hopkins will beat you...Joe adjusted in his fight with Hopkins and that was the reason that he was able to pull out the fight in the minds of two of the judges...Kessler cant or hasnt really shown that.

    I get your point and agree to some extent.
    Personally though, I think that Kessler´s ability to fight off the back foot would gives him a stronger weapon against Bhop than Pavlik had. Plus, I think his defence is better, and he is quicker.

    Plus Kessler is more technically sound and (I'm going to get stick for this) Kessler has better punch variety even though he does not mix it up a lot. He would be able to if he had to.

    I do however think that he is at a disadvantage against Hopkins. I would not favor Kessler even though I like him better as a fighter than Hopkins.
