If Kessler moves up to light heavyweight he cleans up the division

[VatoMulatto]

Kessler is at the end of his career and I don't know how motivated he is to get back. I Think he should stay at 168 and try to get a third fight with Froch or winnable fights against Abraham and Stieglitz. At LHW Stevenson and Kovalev would knock him out. B-Hop wins by UD and so would Dawson if he's not shot.

[OJ Simpson]

Ya he most likely beats everybody except Sergey.

Why not Robert Stieglitz vs Mikkel Kessler next?

[Weebler I]

Why not Robert Stieglitz vs Mikkel Kessler next?

Stieglitz's manager named 4 possible opponents: Sturm, Ward, Abraham and Chavez Jr.

Kessler is not in their plans.

[BafanaBafana]

Kessler is too passed it to do much at LHW against the top competition.

You've got: who all probably beat him
Stevenson
Kovalev
Hopkins
Pascal
Dawson

Then the rest: who would be decent matchups
Cleverly
Grachev
Bute
Fonfara
Bellew
Erdei
Chilemba

Agreed, he probably loses to all the top fighters (some by KO) and probably goes life and death with some of the second tier light heavies.

[Jloro]

Agreed, bro.

Bhop schools him with nothing but punches possibly stopping him late

[Bushidō]

There are at least 5 guys that can beat him for sure.

[dan_cov]

He beats Dawson probably by stoppage too.
Stevenson & Kovalev I'd give a good chance to stop him.
B-Hop works him and takes a comfortable decision.

If he went upto light heavyweight I'd like to see take on a Cleverly, maybe an Eleider Alvarez or a gatekeeper to the world stage like Cloud.

I think Kessler is about done, hes been a decent champion and I always find it sad when they're at the tale end of their career. I wouldn't want to see him hang around much longer, one maybe two more fights and hang them up. I don't want to take nothing away from Froch but Kesslers lost a step IMO & that was another hard, hard fight. Kessler has mileage.

Bhop headbutts, fouls, and excessively clinches him over 12 unwatchable rounds.

Kessler walks around below the LHW limit, so there's little chance of him moving up and why should he? LHW is trash and the money is at SMW still.
