Mikkel Kessler, who should he fight after Haussler?

[STEELHEAD]

i rewatched kessler/calzaghe earlier this week and second time around i seen it a closer fight with cal still slapping his way to victory.
i keyed in on his corner inbetween rounds. poor kess.
most the time it was like they where in church! very little said. here he is sitting on his stool with a bewildered look on his face and they don't help him! commentators point out that they weren't even putting a coldpress on his swollen eye.
of all the euros iv'e seen i think kess needs some proffesional handlers.
hope he takes on pavlik or an abraham fight looks good.

I'd like to see him put brian vera on his ass.

I will like to see Mikkel Kessler vs Lucian Bute in Denmark or Canada

Is Ottke fully and finally retired now? He needs a loss and I'm sure Kessler could be the man to deliver it.

Maybe so. But it's not going to happen. Kessler has commited himself to Richard Olsen his entire career. He has said so very convincingly.

After the fight Richard Olsen said that he's the best corner in the world. I wont comment that.

I think he is. Ottke had a comeback planned against Michalschewski but after he pulled out nothing has been heard.

I think he should fight Bute if Bute defeats Andrade. After that I would like to see him in a fight on American television and would be happy if he faced any of Miranda, Lacy or Taylor. If he beats any of those then the logical next step would surely be Kelly Pavlik, and after that a move to LHW to face Dawson. That would pretty much be my dream career for Mikkel Kessler.

After Haussler I'd like to see him fight ANYONE on US tv. As for careerplan the sketch you made there is difficult to top. Perhaps an unlikely rematch with Calzaghe in between somewhere.

Regarding the Calzaghe fight, I was disappointed Richard Olesen ordered Kessler to continue the defensive approach until the final round. The consequence of thatwas also seen when Kessler acquired his new coach Jimmy Montoya, who focuses on the offensive part. It made it a bit confusing listening to his corner the last fight, with RO telling Kessler to fight safe, use the jab, secure the win and so on, and then over to JM who continues with 30sek. of fast furious KO strategy, but I guess this is Kesslers way of securing two plans to choose from, the next time he finds his defensive style isn’t enough to win.

Bute or Taylor.
