    he already fought him at 168. there's no need for kessler and ward to ever fight again

    and evidently they said bute low balled him

    there is the froch fight

    but otherwise there are some fights at 175 that he can look at. i think he'd bet tavoris cloud, for example. hopkins is a horrible fight, but he's got money and a name that might interest kessler, and there's dawson.
    My point is that these guys are huge. They probably weigh around 190 on fightnight thereby outweighing Kessler by 15 lbs. Another thing is that the money is at 168 against Ward, Bute and Froch. Finally I might add that I Think a motivated Dawson would beat him.

          You're talking about the 500K offer right?

            I'm guessing Sauerland wants Stieglitz vs Abraham rather than stieglitz vs Kessler.

              if they can get the bute fight squared away in terms of the cash that's one i'd like to see. likewise with froch.

              i dont want to see a ward rematch in all honesty. kessler got his but kicked. if kessler can get a payday out of it i'm sure he's open to the idea, though

              and i agree about dawson. he's too big and too skilled.

                Good fight. Maybe Dawson, if he beats Hopkins, can fight the winner.

                  I doubt it was that low. And surely Kessler would rather be fighting for a world championship than fighting Allan Green?

                    It's certainly a better fight and lets him rehab the image of one and check the physicals of the other.

                      I like Kessler over most at 175 save Dawson. . . Stylistic nightmre. . . Think he has more than sufficient boxing skills, and punching power to deal with Cloud.
