Apparently Kessler is moving up to light-heavy and believes he will be ranked well enough to fight Garay for the vacant title, then be in the mix in a "star studded" division (or the OAP club), with Tarver, Hopkins, Jones, Dawson, Calzaghe, Trinidad, Woods, Glen Johnson.

Interesting, although I'm not sure how he would fare at a higher weight.
