Kessler to fight Fernando Vargas next?

[!! AI-Holmes!!]

From ******************:

It is well known that Kessler, the best super middleweight on the planet Earth.

Why would he be interested in taking this fight?

Are you the same Lance_Uppercut that posts on ESB?

No I only post on this site as far as boxing stuff goes.

vargas is washed up. kessler will murder him. if this fight happens, kessler is a ***** and it proves he is afraid to take top competition.

[MELLY-MEL...]

mikkel will be looked down upon if he fights vargas. i hope he does not fight fernando.

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

It would be disgraceful and I'd lose most of the respect I have for Kessler.

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 *****.

Wont happen any time soon. Kessler is out of the WBC rankings and Froch's will likely get the WBC belt by defeating an easy opponent (with Taylor likely out).

But I would like to see it although it wouldn't sell in the states.

[KILLA RIGHT]

Would be good 4 Kessler get a big name then after he murders vergas he can go fight a real fighter in 4 months

Why would he be interested in taking this fight?

I guess that it's because he wants US-exposure and the bigger names are occupied.

[MANGLER]

Vargas is too far gone to handle Kessler. And I doubt this is true anyway.

[lance_uppercut]

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.

Oh I get what you're saying. I guess it does make sense for his management to try get his name out there a little more in the meantime to possibly set up future bouts. Better than not fighting...and probably better than making a fight that would get your profession banned.
