    I think that if Jermain Taylor gets past Carl Froch he should fight Kessler. I don't care who wins between Taylor and Froch, it's just that Kessler needs to fight someone good. Who do you think would win between Taylor and Kessler?

    I think Kessler would beat either Taylor or Froch. I don't know how likely it is that the fight gets made just now though. It'll probably have to wait until Kesslers contract with Palle runs out next year.

    Kessler can gain some respect by taking on the winner of Froch/Taylor. It's a logical fight for him.

    KEssler beats both..

    Kessler by 8th round KO.

    Taylor is a good champ and i believe that he will beat froch for the green belt however he has been knocked out before by pavlik and kessler i think is a much bigger puncher and isnt as one dimensional either.
    Wont be long before kessler gets his old WBC belt back and starts mopping up the supermiddle weight division and moves up to light heavyweight to kick ass up there:bbb

    And as for froch........hed be down in the 3rd and out by the 5th. Froch is a decent fighter but by no means is he world class. to be world class you must beat at least one world class fighter.

    He can gain more than what he'll gain from beating Froch.

    Kessler is the number 1 super middle weight since Calzaghe moved up to light heavy and retired. He held the WBA and WBC titles and is the WBA champ now. Tbh Kessler now is a bigger name than taylor.

    If taylor beat kessler by some god forsaken miracle he be in the p4p top ten or at least top 15 and that would be a hell of a stepping stone

    I seriously think it would be a GOOD MATCH! Forget about Taylor miserable first fight against Pavlik and you can say Taylor is pretty damn good. Battle of jabs and which favours Taylor goz he had very good jab and his reach is freakin 78 while Kessler reach is only 73:think

    With current management, the fight only gets made if Froch beats Taylor. But that won't happen. So, don't look for this fight to happen.

    not much more really. Probably the same type of payday for a much harder fight.

    Kessler would KO him, but remember he's physically incapable of doing anything that advances his career or makes him any big money against top opponents.

    Kessler is not going to KO him but he would win a close decision. The dude aint that good..lol. The only reason he will win is b/c he is more accurate and he will land the cleaner shots through the fight. Like JT is a push over fighter..lol. Kessler is not even remotely ass aggressive and brave in the ring as Pavlik. Kessler would be cautious early and just take over in the later rounds when JT gases out. Kessler aint KOing ****. Lets see him hurt a top fighter before you start talking that bull****.

    Ya people betta stop hyping Mikkel Kessler up,the man hasnt beaten anybody and hes talked about like hes a great!! Mikkel Kessler is already overhyped!! ya people keep prasing him hes soon gonna become another overrated fraud like Joe Calzaghe,MIKKEL KESSLER HASNT DONE ANYTHING!!! Jermain Taylor on the other hand has beaten a true legend Bernard Hopkins 2x and also gave winky wright anotha legend problems and earned a draw!! Jermain Taylor would expose Kessler and would win a UD against him.
