To me Kessler should not be fighting bums but thats his chose see what he does in the future but for now Pavlik is stepping it up and i respect that alot more and hope he does well. Also would like to see Pavlik vs Calzaghe would be a great fight as well not sure it will happen.
Agreed. Furthermore, I don't think Ring Magazine will keep Kessler at # 1 for much longer if he fights another nobody. Don't get me wrong, I think Kessler has or had loads of potential. I think he is a very good boxer. I am just dismayed by the direction of his career. I expect him to blow out Haussler and set up a fight with a big-time fighter. Kessler should fight one of the three following fighters if they win in the coming months: Bute, Taylor, or Froch. Anything less would be a big-time disappointment.
