That's how i see it. JT is a live dog in any fight because he's got the natural hand speed and ability to throw blinking combinations that can blind an opponent. But he's so technically flawed still. He still stands flat footed. No head movement. No foot movement. No feints. His jab, jab, right is so predictable. I still don't get how JT beat Hopkins twice. Well, i do. JT has hand speed and that off sets Hopkins pretty little pace.
Im curious how many people who're picking Taylor have actually seen Kessler (apart from his loss). I don't see how this fight would even be close. I honestly think Taylor only wins if he lands a lucky punch.
It wouldn't be close. People need to go and watch Pavlik and Taylor again and then they have to realise that Kessler does just about everything better than Pavlik does. Taylor will crack under the relentless pressure and he'll be stopped.
Until he agrees to fight him, he's scared in my book.:yep Kessler isn't ducking anyone, he's too ROBOTIC :yep
Tayor's ducking Mundine. Until he fights Mundine, he's scared of him in my book. Pavlik's more of a robot than Kessler - did you see him doing his mummy-on-valium Frankenstein trudge in there with B-Hop? <hands out in a sleepwalking manner> "where is ya Hops? Where is ya? Ah mus' be suffering from sleep apnea, ah cain't see yuh Hops" :rofl
I don't see a clear path to victory for Taylor. He has the athletic ability, but with his stamina and mental capacity he isn't going to win a decision, and I don't see him knocking Kessler out. Kessler via thorough beating.
