Thread: Who should Kessler fight in his next match?

Who should Kessler fight? Assuming the following are even possible (in no order):

1. Jermain Taylor v. Jeff Lacy winner.
2. Carl Froch v. Jean Pascal winner.
3. Edison Miranda
4. Allen Green
5. Bernard Hopkins (assume he would fight at 170)
6. Denis Inkin
7. Sakio Bika
8. Andre Ward

I think it hs to be the winner of Taylor Lacy, that would be the best option for Mikkel, after that i suppose Froch Pascal winner, i honestly think he would scholl Froch, he would jab his head off all night, in my opinion.

I think Froch!That would be a cracker of a fight!I would think Froch would win it though,"Just"by points!

either Taylor of Froch. i would think he would fight taylor since he as the bigger name.

We want 1 champion so he should fight Bute / etc

Someone who is not a tomato can.

I would love to see him fight Taylor or Froch.

frochs a complete no brainer as B-Hop would earn barely anything for fighting a complete unknown whos as yet unbeaten.

Losing to taylor a 3rd time would certainly put pay to Hopkins legendary status completely so that would seem a no go.

Id love either a kessler 175pound fight or a jones jr hall of fame fight once calzaghe has dealt with him that would be both fighters swansong from the sport.

I for one would love to the him against Hopkins, but Because Kessler has wasted time against 2 unknown germans I doubt its going to happen now.

Then it could be either Pavlik ( if he is up to it) or
The UK frog name Carl, just to close the mouth on the frog lovers

Pavlik ain't fighting Kessler anytime soon. That would be moronic on the part of Pavlik's handlers. The risk would easily outweigh the reward.

I didn't put Bute on the list because another poster stated that he was fighting Danish Mads Larsson.

He should fight Carl Froch it would be a good fight but i think the longer the fight goes he over powers Froch and stops him late.

assuming he beats Pascal first.

The point again though is that carl froch is not considered a good fight to take on.

Dangerous tricky opponent who wont command any sort of real attention stateside hence the contest will be for the same sort of peanuts kessler is earning by fighting second rate germans.

Id like to see showtime bring mikkel over to the US and stick him in with someone like bika or mundine before hyping him through the roof for an eventual fight with either bute or pavlik!!

Yeah, Id like to see him fight Taylor. If he fought him in the States like Abraham did with the Miranda return I think Kess would get more credit and its the only way to get Taylor into the same ring cuz no way will the Yank leave his backyard . Kess will have to win convincingly if he is to get a decision in America but either way Kess wins IMO

Taylor, Froch, or Bute (if he's not rematching Andrade, which he should be).
