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?
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.
