I thought that Calzaghe wanted big American names?? Why take on Berrio and not Mikkel Kessler?....?
Is Kessler a big american name?

Why didnt Kessler fight Berrio?
When - and why - should Kessler have fought Berrio?
I haven't seen Berrio rated high by WBA or WBC, where Kessler is champ. Neither rated higly in independent rankings.
Not that Berrio is way below the level of other available opponents - but there was just no particular reason to let him jump the line at the expense of say Andrade.

Kessler-Berrio MIGHT happen now that Berrio has one of the belts Kessler is collecting. But really i expect TV rights to turn any negotiations between Palle and Saurland saur. Palle would want to make it PPV in Denmark - and that's just not possible if it's shown on german ARD (free) as Saurland would want. Because of that the fight can't generate the kind of money both sides will expect to make.
