What? Kessler already has wins over Mundine (who he beat in Australia), Andrade and Marcus Beyer, plus he travelled to Wales to fight Joe Calzaghe.

What other fighter at 168 has a more impressive resume than that?

And what other top fighter in the world outside the heavyweights and Philippino's has twice fought big world title fights away from home in their prime?

If this fight happens, it will be defining in both fighters careers. I think it will be a very tough fight for both men and both will be willing to trade bombs in a very exciting fight. I think its a real 50-50 fight IMO, Kessler looked good in his last fight and Carl impressed me against Pascal. I think this could be fight of the year !

He is rated #1 at SMW for a a reason (He handidly beat Mundine and Andrade, and gave Calzaghe a good fight for 5 rounds), but the point is that Kessler's last two fights have been against soft competition.

If Froch fights Taylor, which is likely, who will Kessler fight? I thought Calzaghe may have provoked a fight between Hopkins and Kessler.

Andre Dirrell, Allan Green ,Andre Ward or perhaps Winky Wright in USA

Well that depends how you class a 'big' fight but to name a few..

Ricky Hatton (Collazo, Castillo, Mayweather, Malignaggi)

Naseem Hamed (Cant think of any at this moment in time but he has..)

Big Joe Calzaghe (Albeit they were his last two fights and against well past it fighters)

Infact when I think back boxers from the UK are probably the only people who are prepared to leave their country alot..

[Plopeater]

Froch does not deserve to lick the sweat off Kesslers bollocks

That is a ridiculous statement. Off the top of my head:

Librado Andrade went to Denmark to fight Kessler and Montreal to fight Bute. Sakio Bika went to Wales to fight Calzaghe and Montreal to fight Bute.

Adamek went to Chicago to fight Paul Briggs, Florida to fight Dawson, and Newark to fight Cunningham.

The Klitschkos have fought in the US many times for title fights.

Timothy Bradely went to London to fight Junior Witter.

Andrade is a gate keeper who doesnt call the shots and HAS to travel.

All Adameks fights you mentioned are all in the same country

Tim Bradley wasnt an established name or even a champ so had to travel.

The Klitschkos have nothing to fear in the US

If the fight gets made, it will be an interesting fight, but I think Kessler will totally expose Froch's bad defense. Pascal shed some light on how weak Froch's defense is, so I think Kessler will know how to take major advantage of that.
