    Fulgencio Zuniga: almost no credit if you beat him. If he catches you with 2 uppercuts and a left hook, it's nighty-night.

    kessler needs to fight some big names now even if he goes to the states.
    at least there he can earn some big cash which he deserves.

    I wouldn't say Kessler is low reward as he's recognised as the best SMW, so whoever beats him would be up there .
    Tim Bradley was the first name that came into my head.Can't fill a barn in his home country but is very very dangerous.
    Junior Witter is a good shout as well.

    who ever beats kessler in denmark would surely be the top guy at 168 and that is already the big reward

    Unfortunately he hasn't managed to do that to anyone of note yet in his career. Losing his few fights against quality opposition in very clear fashion and struggling with second rate fighters like Zertuche. Hardly relevant to this thread.

    Glenn Johnson.
    Joshua Clottey.
    Margarito Pre Cotto and post Mosley/hand shenanigans probably.

    I'd say Edison Miranda, he lost to Pavlik and Abraham (x2) But he's a legit threat at Super Middleweight now.

    notoriety, if you're an established name, can bring as much - if not more - reward than beating an established belt-holder.

    i agree with the first two but definitely not the last 2.

    maybe winky is and isn't becasue he's been idle for so long. but beating hopkins still carries a good deal of weight.

    i don't agree with miranda as a choice because he's pretty well known now and beating him is a ticket to bigger fights. if abraham hadn't fought miranda in the rematch which raised his international profile a whole lot, then i doubt abraham would be talked about seriously to be in the mix for a pavlik showdown.

    Kessler is high risk/ high reward
    Andrade is high risk/low reward
