Kessler and his promotor did everything to AVOID fighting this German guy, but Haussler is mandatory - Dane Larsen and Dane Markussen already beat this guy.....
Denmark 5.5 inhb, Germany 80 inhb

The Haussler fight I think is a mandatory but after he gets that done and dusted I expect him to go after a big fight. He needs to get going if he wants to be the dominate SMW he wants to be...
I'd like to see Taylor fight at SMW against a true SMW before I make my vote but for now I'll go for Kessler as I have seen him at the weight enough to know he is a class act and I wouldn't bet against him if he was to fight Calzaghe again. Not saying he would beat Joe now just that I think he's an intelligent enough guy to know where he went wrong last time and could well make the beneficial changes needed.
I think Kessler is just about a notch above Tsypko.
Taylor is world class by showing balls to climb back in the one of the best middleweights of recent times who knocked him out, yet still gave him fits for long spells.
Kessler meanwhile has a dudley record of opponents and took Joe the full 12 rounds...
...If Joe was knocking everyone cold then that would be some feat but the fact remains Joe has gone the distance about 8 or 9 times of his last 10 fights so that is hardly a mouth watering achievement.
I'd give the nod to Taylor to rack up the points. I'd also pick Hopkins to beat Kessler too. And Pavlik.
That may sit uneasily with the Kessler supporters, but he is far from the skilled, rounded boxer people make him out to be. He has a good jab and good power, but little else and he looks very open for the overhand right as he always always drops his left after throwing it (as Sartison proved in the early rounds when he shook him to the bone)
I must add i like Kessler, Im a big fan and like the guy too and hope he does get some big fights.

Taylor got knockout by one of the best middleweights of recent times?? Are we talking about Pavlik here? I think he needs to do a bit more than beat Taylor twice and C class Miranda before being branded one of the best middleweights or recent times.
Kessler a notch above Tsypko hahahahah, are you serious?? The same Tsypko who robbed average Brian Mcgee for the European title 5 years ago?? I think you need to do a little more research if you think Kessler is only a notch above Tsypko, try 5 million notches and you might be a little closer.
