Comments Thread For: Kessler Open To Facing Ward, Golovkin, Froch, Groves

[Russian Crushin]

I would love Golovkin but he should target AA. He's big in Germany and the easiest option imo

[Larry the boss]

Kessler should just hang it up imo..but hey if he wants to continue that is on him..but it won't end well

I would accept any of those fights but to accept the Ward rematch, it would have to be in Viking land.

Kessler should make Ward an offer to go to Denmark. But make it public, apparently Goosen isn't passing along the offers to Andre.

Goosen would still be involved in the decision. Besides, the time for that rematch has come and gone.

I think he should call it a day, but since he apparently does not I reckon it'll be Kessler vs the Froch-Groves winner in the autumn. Kessler has a return option on Froch.

Forget Ward. He has priced himself out of a fight in Denmark. He demands funnymoney to leave jOakland.

GGG would be a great fight. It would not be as sellable in Denmark as a fight with either of the brits (or Ward).

Based on what?

Kessler/Golovkin, make it happen.

Groves would be interesting if he can squeeze by Froch.

Not sure why anyone would be too interested in the Ward fight.

That first fight was dreadful. Despite the headbutts it is hard to see what Kessler could do differently.

Outside of Andre Dirrell who seems to have semi-retired I personally would not be too fussed about seeing Ward fight anyone at 168. Again, if Groves wins against Froch that's an intriguing fight stylistically though Ward would be a huge betting favourite. He really needs to move up. All the best fights at 168 just don't seem to involve him. He essentially cleaned out the division. I am sure he is comfortable at the weight but nobody seems overly keen to face him. Not even Froch.

Kessler would beat Abe and become a three time world champion.

Kessler v Golovkin should be a walk in the park to make if both fighters want it.

I've seen a lot of my favourites take one (or more) fight too many. I've seen Ali, Leonard and several danes who I really admired. I dont care what others might think about it, but those who have watched boxing for a long time knows that it hurts pretty bad when your favorites fight on as a shell of their former self.

Now I am not saying that Kessler is shot, but he is, IMO, clearly on the decline and I think that a close loss to a great fighter in Carl Froch in his backyard would be a pretty good way to go.

Furthermore Kessler is an intelligent guy. He speaks clearly and makes sense. He is great at analyzing fights, so place him ringside and put a microphone to his mouth. I'd much rather have Kessler sounding healthy behind a mike for the next 20+ years, than watching him continue his career ending with the enevitable heartbreaking loss.

Kessler vs Froch - win or lose vs Groves - that's the fight I most want to see.
