    I heard that from another source. The manager of one of those fighters was quoted as saying exactly the same.

    It will be March 14 in the US against Dirrell, Green, Bika or Ward. The opponent will likely be announced by Friday Dec 12.

        Which means Green & Bika are the only likely opponents.

            Fighting Berrio would prove nothing.

            He ought to fight Bute or Froch.

                Green hasn't been in a big fight recently hope he gets the shot. If Taylor fights Bute, I'd want to see Froch/Bika

                    What makes you think that it's one of those 2?

                        My guess is too big a step up too soon for them.

                            Dirrell,Bika,Green,Ward or Berrio I don't care I'm just happy to see him fighting in the states I wonder if it is Berrio who's the least known of the five will HBO buy Kessler-vs-Berrio?

                                Bika: Kessler's former sparring partner and at the time (in preparation for Andrade) he stated that Kessler was in a class of his own.

                                Green: Well I havent seen him, but he doesnt seem to have anything worthwhile on his record besides a pointsloss to Edison Miranda which hardly is a credential.

                                Dirrell and Ward: Undefeated at 17-0 and 16-0. Isn't that to early for a shot at Kessler?

                                Berrio: Has an impressive KO win over hometown fav. Stieglitz in Germany and went 11 rounds with Bute.

                                I wonder which of these fighters would get the most american interest?

                                    I guess team-palle and HBO is wondering, which of these fighters would be the best match-up for Kessler, and make him look good to the American boxing-fans.

                                        Berrio and Mack is already set according to Mack's promoter on ESPN FNF's. I'll believe him over you.
