Dan Rafael: Taylor vs Kessler unlikely, Taylor vs Bute in the works

The Andrade fight was the only one on PPV so far.

 

was the fight against lacy for the wbc title or just an eliminator?

 

Eliminator...but he could have fought Froch for the title had he wanted to.

 

oh ok, thanks man.

 

I think Taylor-Kessler would be a bigger money fight than Taylor-Bute.

Regardless, it's the best potential fight at super-middleweight. Hopefully Taylor disposes of Bute and it becomes a moot point.

Has Kessler made an offer to fight J.T. ?

 

Kessler needs to stop fighting stiffs, period.

I don't care where he fights, as long as he is fighting good fighters...which he hasn't been.

 

Bute vs Taylor would be a massive draw in Montreal.

20,000 people. good live gate. Would be a decent PPV in Canada. It's a money fight.. big money I don't know.. but a money fight.

 

Sure...Kessler's the hardest fight for Taylor...it's the fight all of us wanted for Mikkel too.

 

Why is Bute a bigger name than Kessler...? Sounds like the easiest way to a belt if you ask me. Bute isnt a money fight. Still I dont think this is a certai win for JT by any means.

Kessler is going to struggle to get any HBO backing because the US only has one 168lber worth watching and he doesnt want any part of Kess, he'll have to carry on Europe for now as that is where the main talent is.

I spose Kess vs Froch/Pascal is the best we can hope for...

 

If the fight is in Montreal then it is a big money fight..not to mention it's a hell of a lot closer to Arkansas than Denmark.

Kessler is the worst promoted fighter in the world today, the only one close is Paul Williams.

 

Good post. Just have to add that Kessler himself took 2 easy opponents lately.Taylor is still coming back from the 2 Pavlik losses. For him, Bute is easier that Kessler. I think he's wrong. Taylor can not put pressure on Bute like Andrade did. He does not have the power at 168 to hurt Bute neither, who is bigger. I'm pretty sure Bute would ko Taylor.

 

Taylor will beat him. Bute is just a paper champ. Nothing more.

 

Kessler is scared ass *****.
