What if Kessler grabs the IBF belt?

[albsur2006]

But would he risk fighting for another belt? his other ones would be in trouble and who would he fight for it? Carl froch imo should get a crack at this crown. In the long run if kessler went for this belt it would bite him in the a** cos he would be asked to fight all the shite people instead of going for the hardknocks

If he was to fight I would guess that Stietglitz cat, who was Joe C's mandatory before he vacated. I don't know much about that guy except he has been sidestepped a lot. And honestly from Kessler's perspective if he can't fight Joe, who is considered the man in the division, he would benefit more from being a 3 Alphabet champ then fighting like say, Froch who would be a huge risk with very little chance of reward.

No doubt he would benefit but he would get caught up in unnessaciarry mandatories and that would result in him wanting to keep his title rather than hunting the JC he should imo go for him now! sod the titles bring on JC! JC dont need manfredo for anything except another 'W' Kessler has no1 else to fight either so why dont they fight

True dat, CC bro. Of course Kessler would get caught up in the mandatories, but honestly unless he gets a fight with Joe, what else is he going to do? Sooner or later when you have 3 title one of your mandatories will be a super fight, be it Lucian Bute, Carl Froch or Anthony Mundine.

Exactly, sometimes I feel like us boxing fans are never satisfied. The guy won two belts and the point of winning a belt is too defend it. There will be good matches coming up if he defends his belts. He could start a legacy at 168. There's no need for him to do anything hasty or move up to light heavy. It's funny how JoeCal wants to be a star in the states, but ironically, fighting Kessler and winning will make him more popular than beating Manfredo. It sucks because way never know who was better.
