    Taylor got the decision twice. And he hasn't exactly shone since then, has he? And by your logic, Pavlik should have beaten Hopkins.

    I think Kessler's performances against Beyer, Mundine and Andrade were very impressive, and against Calzaghe too, until he adjusted.

    He just won't get as much credit as he's European

    I agree Taylor is better than most of Calzaghe's prime opponents. However, I agree Kessler is better. Taylor did beat Hopkins twice via close and controversial decisions (whereas Kessler had dominated everyone he faced pre-Calzaghe). However, I would suggest that this is simply a case of styles making fights. I still think B-Hop was the better overall fighter as he proved when the two fought Winky and Pavlik respectively. Plus, there's only so long you can dine out on one name and Taylor since then has been KTFO and beaten again by Pavlik and beat up the shell of Lacy. There are question marks at this point. Should be a great fight though.

    Hopefully Carl FROG won´t have any title to defend,when he has faced Jermaine Taylor.
    MR.froch,is ALLWAYS talking about Joe C.
    telling everybody how he could beat him,and beat everybody else at 168,and his only win over an good opponent is his latest against jean Pascal!!!

    You will be judge by who you fight and win over...Not by who YOU think you could win over.
    Thats why you have to box against these opponents,Carl...

    This is why im not too keen on Froch. He talks sense 99% of the time and then he goes and talks about Calzaghe. He is to Calzaghe what Witter was to Hatton. Tailing a proven champion.

    Also Froch has yet to fight in genuine world class, Jean Pascal is borderline top 15 at 168. His fight with Taylor is going to be his first venture into world class and its up to him to prove his worth.

    He needs to lay of the stalking of Calzaghe though.
