    Kessler on potential opponents.

    At todays presser Kessler tells DR.DK regarding possible opponents:

    There's Calzaghe but he will not fight again. Then there's Groves and Froch. There's also Ward, but he doesn't want to fight me and then there's Golovkin.

    I only want the big fights. Clearly a rubber match against Froch is what I want the most.
    Asked about Abraham Kessler says:

    I dont think he has the class. He is good and he is strong, but a fight with him gives me nothing. I'm sure it would be a hard fight, but if you think a little in the ring, he is fairly easy.

    I'd love to see Golovkin fight Kessler. I'm meh on a Froch/Kessler rubber match, but it could be a good way for both to make big money and walk away.

      I want to see Kessler Golovkin BADLY. That will be a great fight.

      Maybe Kessler should take a soft touch to shake some ring rust off then go after Froch/Groves winner or Golovkin?

        Kessler was adamant: No tuneups! Only big fights.

          At this point, why do anything else? Make that money.

            Kessler-Ward II is the fight I'd prefer to see. Strange comments on Abraham not doing anything for him, he's one of the four world title holders and MK was talking about becoming world champ again.

            Froch-Kessler III is a good fight but I'd rather see Froch-Chavez or Froch-DeGale in the Autumn (assuming Froch gets past Groves), better fight for 2015 imo.

              Thats pretty much it. I have the fear that the major reason for Kessler to comeback is money.

                Surprised about AA, this is the easiest "top" fighter who holds a belt for him and is also popular

                    Kessler was a great champ and his fights are fun but he doesnt really have much juice anymore. GGG fight is interesting because that gets GGG a real name on his resume.
