To lionheart-boxing.dk,Mikkel Kessler says that he'd love to fight Gennady Golovkin:
"I don't think he's as good as he is made out to be. He has looked good in his fights, but that's easy when you are fighting bad opponents. I'd even fight him at a catchweight. 164 or 163 lbs. I can get down there easy", Kessler said.
Wasn't there supposed to be a press conference announcing his future today?
Yes. The Golovkin quotes is from that. He'll be back in October/November.
There's another thread where other opponents are discussed.

Kessler is the OG of the division....even at this stage of his career, he's still a loss for many name brand fighters from 160-168....I would favor him over Triple G...cw is unnecessary though
Kessler will get stopped early.
Based on what? Kessler ain't no 154lb refuge collector like he is used to fighting & GGG will find that out the hard way.

Make the fight. Even if it's at a CW or 168, there no one around GGG's weight that can take that sustained body attack which I'm sure Golovkin would do being that Kessler is older.
I would watch this fight, but I have to be honest about the catchweight it shouldn't be mentioned here...
BUT, at this point I feel GGG could take Kessler, but I have a lot of respect for Kessler, I would probably root for him if this came off
While Kesslers best days are long behind him, this would be the best win on GGG resume, washed up Kessler or drained Kessler, still a respectble name on his resume
I think GGG will win
No need for catchweights, i dont get why fighters say dumb things like this
to get fights, make a f#ckload of money. if he doesn't get the fight, at least we're talking about him. being outlandish is always good publicity.
i'm sure he thinks he can win, too. he might even be confident about his ability to make the weight.
