If the ink's dried on the issue let's make sure we're quoting the gospel accurately and not paraphrasing. Palle squashing the fight =/= Kessler himself ducking Miranda.
No. Palle = Bumbling Fool in this instance. JanDK beat me into submission over separating Palle's acts from Kessler.
It is hard to imagine Kessler himself ducking Miranda or Froch insofar as he has a clear style advantage.
Ward is a terrible matchup for Froch, not the other way around. Froch's chin is overrated, because JT is NOT a big puncher, that's a known quantity... yet he almost starched Froch.
I think we're in agreement, just not on the same page in terms of the semantics. =/= means "not equal to". :good So it seems we're both of the opinion that it was the "promoter" in this case who failed to promote.
Dirrell hits harder than Ward, the scary thing is his brother Anthony has more potential than both Andre's.
Actually, the pressure, and punches, got to Talyor. Not sure if Ward could handle it for 12 rounds.:huh
Taylor showed balls in his fights with Pavlik and Froch. He should be given credit where credit is due. He boxed well, has skills.
A good assessment although I think Froch has a very good chance of beating Kessler too. Kessler is good but nowhere near as good as some think he is, and he's inactive now and has done very little since losing to JC. I haven't seen much of Ward but if he has little power he won't succeed at the very top level. However good a boxer you are, if you cannot hurt world class opponents you will nearly always fail at top level eg Paulie Maliggnaggi
This is a stupid assumption because no boxer on the planet has reason to fear him? hes beaten no one and was getting hammered by an old taylor til he got tired. the Middleweights need not hold their breath
