Hopkings may choose to fight Kessler
Well if Kessler puts Andrade away in the upcoming fight. Berhard Hopkings may choose to fight Kessler or Calzaghe after Wright. Maybe we should demand a Calzaghe and Kessler fight next O0 in order to qualify for the old guy :)

So where should calzahge look for the next opponent I´m pretty confident that Manfredo will be a walk in the park.
I know I'm not always writing that good since English its not my preferred language but here is a funny comment from Jan ( also a Dane) maybe he knows Kessler better than the rest of us hahaha:

The Kessler - Andrade will be a great fight. US will be watching a Viking Warrior in the ring and a calm and friendly gay outside the ring. Simply the real deal. US don't miss it!!
Re: Hopkings may choose to fight Kessler
that is a big if.. Bernard has to beat Wright which is not easy. Wright is younger and experienced, maybe not in Bernard's experience level but I think Wright has a good chance to beat Bernard in this fight coming up.
Re: Hopkings may choose to fight Kessler
Hopkins only fights smaller beaten up fighters !!!
If Kessler looks hot against Andrade he wont go near him with a barge pole.
Re: Hopkings may choose to fight Kessler
No way it could ever come off...is Kessler moving up in weight now?! ;D
Re: Hopkings may choose to fight Kessler
Andrade is moving down to 168 to vote for Kessler's titles.

Smaller, beaten up fighters.. HMMM Like Tarver?
If Hopkins handled Tarver, (even a weight-drained Tarver) at 175, it would be foolish to think that Kessler at 168 hits too hard for him.
Re: Hopkings may choose to fight Kessler
good fight i think hopkins is bit too skilled for him though so i pick hopkins to win by 3 rounds
Re: Hopkings may choose to fight Kessler
I didn't know Kessler is gay. Hey, who says there's no progression in professional sports?
Re: Hopkings may choose to fight Kessler
Well if Hopkins does beat Wright, and then takes this fight..... Sucks to be a Calzaghe fan. Not that it already doesn't.
Re: Hopkings may choose to fight Kessler
Yeah, it would suck. How long has Kessler been calling out Calzaghe again?

I don't know, but it's obviously not a fight Calzaghe wants. The best thing for Hopkins to do would be to take Kessler if he beats Wright.... Then if he can get by that one again maybe Calzaghe will still want to fight him... So then, Hopkins enters negotiations with Joec, only to pull out last minute and sign to fight Serigo MOra or another contender star. THat would be the icing on the cake, and hilarious to anyone who has gotten fed up with Calzaghe's lack of desire to fight anyone.

Tarver the weight drained crack addict that had a McCallesque breakdown midfight ..... Next Winky Wright the fighter who last knocked somebody out in the last decade .
Safety 1st all the way for Hopkins .
Re: Hopkings may choose to fight Kessler
Everyone at 168 has called joe out... Froch, Kessler, even Berrio has added him to the list.
..But Joe chooses Ashira, a guy plucked from light middle (not even a mandatory) instead of Brian Magee (WBO wont have it he said)
Forced to fight Jeff Lacy - great result for Joe.
Then goes back to cannon fodder like middleweight Sakio Bika (?)
..and now another smaller light-middle in Manfredo.
Joe is a great great fighter - but let's not expect a live opponent until the mega bucks are guaranteed folks unfortunately.

wright may not be hard puncher but he is exceptional boxer that has beat mosley twice and felix trinidad and ike quartey and i hate to say this to you because your calzaghe fan but since when has calzaghe fought exceptional boxer like winky wright ?? this is 50-50 match up and it is a risk i dont see how it cant be just because wright isnt big puncher doesnt mean it isnt risk
