An undisputed champion with a win over another legitimate champion reigning at the top. Nice one!
My only reservation is that should Joe win (which i think he will,) he won't be around very long and when he leaves we'll be missing a guy to fill his shoes.
Although i want joe to win i dont know about the positive effect it has...lets say Joe wins great for him unified
division but when he moves up...are we going to have the wbo wba and wbc have 3 different matchups for the
vacated titles and end up with a completly split division again...and depending on how the fight pans out is anyone going to want to get in the ring with kessler (who ive said prev joe would take this easy but after actually watching more of kessler it clearly isnt an easy fight) after he gives an account of his skills against one of the p4p top boxers.....

Will the new champions have the guts to get in the ring with him?

However if kessler wins we have a unified champ who is definatly sticking around at 168. I think much more positive for SMW if Kessler takes the win.........but nothing would make me happier to see Joe finally unify this division he's ruled for a decade.
