So who would you like to see Kess fight for his comeback fight?
I said I'd like for his opponent to have some type of credibility. Someone whos got a wining record and preferably has either been a champ or has contested for a title or is at least ranked top 10.
So here are some of the names I was able to dig up.
Thoughts?
I'd like to see him fight Froch just to show how overrated Carl is then i think a matchup with Bute would be fantastic.

It might be worth considering the weight issue. It seems Kessler just made weight for the fight and Joe was under. To me it seemed that Joe moved a lot better, was quicker and Mikkel was a little slugish. Well he wasn't slugish but i think Joe's speed and movement made it look that way. So since there is not much left at 168 for Kessler why stay there? He's already beat Mundine and the rest are all a big step back after the fight with Calzaghe.
Why not move up to 175 and take on Tarver? Danny Green has signed with Stipe Drews seemingly because Tarver wasn't keen to put pen to paper. Tarver hasn't got anyone of note on his tail. It would keep Kessler in the hunt for a title which he needs, he has a good chance of winning the fight and keeps credibility. Then if Joe moves up and takes Hopkins at 175.....................
Oh yeah I obviously voted OTHER.
I think he should fight Miranda. That would be a fantastic barney...
I'd love to see him knock Froch out. I think he can easily rule super middle for as long as he can make the weight.
Most guys on that list would be a good fight. I went for Inkin, cause inkin needs a big fight too, he's been on the outside for quite long now, maybe he likes it there?. Perhaps winner of Reid-Froch or Miranda. Don't reckon Lacy, Lacy needs warm up fights, hasn't had a healthy fight in 20 months, and his confidence is probably too low.
I go with Lacey or Reid, Someone who he will not walk through but will beat pretty soundly...Just as that precautionary "What did the loss do to his Psyche" fight.....
Joe will not hold all the belts long more then likely give them up like the IBF title he took off Lacey,,Kessler will be champ again soon enough...IMO he is the #2 man in the division hands down
I don't think that any of those names mentioned would be a bad comeback fight for Kessler, and as I am absolutely convinced that Calzaghe has done his last work at Super Middleweight, then that leaves six guys fighting for three vacant belts, and Kessler has more claim than many to be among those six. However, for British interest, I think Froch would be a good match up, and would be competitive if Froch's untested chin turns out to be half decent.
I hope Kessler fights Froch because im sick of Froch telling us how good he is.
If he beats Kessler then great , but ive got a feeling Mr Froch may take an easier rout to the top.as Kessler has a pulse and is under 36 :)
Yep, me too.Quote:

well personally i dont really give a shit about froch, he would be the least deserving candidate on that list.
stylewise and name wise there is absolutely nothing to discuss, he should be aiming for miranda. personally i see him destroying miranda, and a fight against him. would make him even more known on us soil.
should that not be able to make, fighting bute would be fine, a risky fight, but thats the way it is, kessler is ready, and his promoter has allready stated, that they want title fights, and bute´s name was mentioned.
Froch, just to see him get clouted outa there...respect the guy as a fighter, but cant get to grips with his attitude ;D
