        Glen Johnson is a truth machine and I'm not sure what to make of Kessler yet. Style-wise, he has the potential to be elite but his resume certainly isn't. I'd love to see how he handles Johnson...IF he can handle Johnson.

        There really aren't too many fights for Kessler but he can't keep up this round robin of cheesecake fights. I'll give him a pass for now but it's disturbing to hear his name mentioned as elite when his best opponent is Anthony Mundine - and even that's debateable.

        Johnson-Kessler? I won't hold my breath but hey, you never know.

          That's one good fight. Kessler isn't retiring any time soon so he can still improve it. At the end of the day, they both fought some weak opposition.

          I was only playin with ya anyway because you said you were in Calz nut swinging mode

              Glen Johnson would be a good fight but I don't see it happening. I believe Johnson will fight the winner of Diaconu-Branco (most likely Diaconu) for the WBC LHW title.

              Bute wouldn't be a bad fight despite the controversial fight with Andrade.

                BoxingScene reports that Kessler's next title defense might be against Gusmyl Perdomo (15-2, 9 KO's).

                Perdomo lost a decision to Dimitri Sartison who was dominated by Kessler in most of the rounds and stopped in the 12th.

                Does anyone else think Kessler is wasting his career?

                This is a joke of a fight in my opinion.
                No chance in hell Kessler would take a fight like this if it isn't mandatory, i just heard from a danish news source his promoter confirms they're waiting for the outcome of calzaghe vs. jones fight, if calzaghe wins he would go for him, but no chance in hell calzaghe would fight him, so that leaves him with B-Hop which i dont think would happen either, and if jones wins he would go straight after B-hop and vice versa... that leaves Kessler back with the only realistic option he has at this point is to fight the winner of the IBF-title between Larsen vs Bute, or the winner of Taylor/Lacy fight. Froch is also an option imo.

                  Taylor, Bute and Froch are the opponents Kessler should be looking to fight.

                  I'm not sure if Taylor or Bute would take a fight against Kessler at the moment but Froch probably would.

                    Froch gotta get past Pascal first, then he can think about fighting Kessler
