        Indeed he should. His management has failed to secure him any meaningful fights and that trend seems to continue as his next meeting with the Palle's will be in court.

        Look for Kessler to fight another useless mandatory (Perdomo) next.

            I don't think he's overrated (on here anyway) - everyone seems to agree that he's all potential right now

            Kessler v Taylor/Froch would be great though, and I'm confident he could trounce both

              The guy is a 3-time world champion. Dangerous for all the established stars. The risk/reward ratio isn't particularly tempting.

                I think he would shut-out Froch TBH. Taylor is another matter. If Taylor is at his best he should win IMO.

                    He is underrated by some and overrated by others. I don't think anyone denies the talent, perhaps one of the best technical fighters in the game today. I have been a fan for years and it is frustrating to see him fight guys so far below his level. IMO he definately beats everyone around right now between 160 and 175, with the only real question mark being Chad Dawson. That would be a very close fight IMO.
