He's not really got that many options,Markus Beyer is getting on a bit and won't want to fight him,RJJ is 37 and will he drop down,Tarver-doesn't exactly fill you with anticipation,Hopkins is 41 and not the guy he was and Kessler is kinda unknown as far as a big money fight!
To me Kessler is the best fight from a pure boxing scenario but the rest just seem money match ups.Whattdya think?

A homecomming at the Millennium stadium in the summer, against an easy fringe contender, should be what he does next. Then look for one big money fight, (Hopkins or Jones), and then retirement, is what I would plan if I was Calzaghe ;)
mikkel kessler will crush joes head into a tiny cube and then insert joes head into his own anus.
so thats a nice way of saying you think kessler might win? ::**Quote:

Kessler has looked good so far, but to say he is 70-30 favourite against Calzaghe just made me fall of my chair laughing my arse off!!Quote:

Listen mate Kessler would be a nightmare for Calzaghe??? have a look at the match up from the other shoe, who has Kessler fought that resembles Calzaghe?? No one who is anywhere near the hand speed and condidtioning of Calzaghe, you say its impossible for Calzaghe to win on points??? How do you work that out, he throws more leather in twelve rounds than any other fighter at 168. I agree kessler is an awkward physically strong man but as Lacy found out very quickly you cant jump from fighting has beens like Pemberton to elite fighters like Calzaghe, Kessler is fighting Middleweight Joppy next who has been beaton by much smaller men and was mauled around the ring like a rag doll against little man Felix Trinadad. I feel Kessler needs to up his level of opponent quite a bit before he even thinks of fighting Joe Calzaghe.
I'm a huge Kessler fan...but I aint a blind gotdam idiot.
Kessler needs to stand back & wait on Calzaghe to move up...which is exactly what I believe that he is doing...no shame in that either.
Calzaghe would defeat Kessler kids...no if's, and's, or but's.
Sorry...but he would.
Kessler has power...but Lacy had power too.
Kessler is a better boxer than Lacy...but he aint a better boxer than Joe.
Kess should match either Beyer, Lacy, or the winner of Green Mundine...which is what I see him doing...the last one...the winner of Green Mundine.

Well, I guess that a lot of people had the Lacy-Calzaghe 70-30 in favour of Lacy, so doing the same for Kessler should be quite wiser.Quote:

About Kessler’s opponents there is just to say that he took his title from Ring’s no. 2 at the time and defended it abroad against Ring’s no. 3 at the time – is that not strong competition?
The latest news here in Denmark is that Joppy is out of the picture for the next fight.
correct,mundine is way faster then joe.
kessler beats joe and remains undefeated.
