Is Kessler the only option for Joe?

nop, coz should he beat Kessler, kessler would be an unproven overrated hometown fighter...

And beating Manfredo proves what, exactly?

nothing, but it gets him the mega fight with Taylor that he wants, gets to main event a Us fight for mega money - beat the guy who beat the guy
