I can well understand Calzaghe's reluctance to fight Kessler.

Hopkins and Jones are much bigger names and probably easier fights than Kessler.

However you would think that having boxed as a supermiddleweight his entire career, and having been an undefeated world champion for 10 years the opportunity to win the remaining two belts at the weight and to become the first ever totally unified supermiddleweight champion would be a huge attraction for Joe.

If I was Joe I would love to have the opportunity to fight Kessler, win all the belts and wrap up my business in the 168 lb division, and then move up and face the other guys.

A fight with Kessler surely is the best fight, I'd personally love to see it happen. Go after the 175 lbers after you've cleaned up 168 lb Joe.
