Kessler to fight Fernando Vargas next?

[Addition]

Is this going to be at a catchweight of 200 pounds?


Vargas on the background.

If his skin was lighter, he'd look like Fat Joe.

He did fight Mayorga last time out at 164. He's only 30 years old and his losses all came against superstars (Tito, DLH, Mosley).

Are you seriously trying to defend Kessler fighting Fernando ****ing Vargas? This isn't 2000 anymore.

I dont know what to say really. I havent seen the last 2 Vargas fights. But I reckon Kessler would go in a big fav. for sure.

Defense? I dont really have an opinion other than Vargas is a popular fighter and that the fight might sell some tickets. I think such a fight would be a nice reintroduction of Kessler to the US-market before moving on to bigger and better things.

I cannot say if Vargas is shot. Can you?

Fight wont happen, Kessler has a mando.

i can, he's shot! the power he has is not very good at 160 and up. he is only 30, but has been in alot of wars, and his chin is shot, as is he imo.

This sounds like it would make sense from a financial point of view...but would he really get any recognition if he beat vargas at this point? Besides this thread/slight murmers Vargas doesn't really factor into the supper middleweight equation. I figured Kessler's motivation was to bounce back from the Zaggy defeat and get back to the top of the division. Would this be step towards that really?

Are you the same Lance_Uppercut that posts on ESB?

Why doesnt Kessler fight WBC no 1 ranked fighter to find out who is real SMW King.

Vargas WTF. If Kessler fights him he is a *****.

I guess his management are on the lookout for an opponent. All he bigger names have dates, but Kessler wants to fight in the US next so they have to check who's available.

Kessler is mandated to defend his title within 120 days against Danilo Haussler (talk about a shot fighter ) and Kessler's management has said that they wont stage such a mismatch fearing that boxing will get banned in Denmark. So title or no title: Kessler wants to cross the pond.

I dont buy Vargas wanting to come back. I think he knows hes done as a fighter.
