    Yeah i have a small frame, im 6ft 70kg but people can't believe i'm that light because i have big shoulders and muscular arms, most boxers are probably the same, skinny guys with plenty of muscle so they look huge on the screen.

    So do ****ing i mate , BTT If he can't take the MIDGETS like Kass O and Cory spinks to the cleaner's he has no fooking chance of beating Kessler infact if he don't get a Shot to **** Lacy out of there within 5 next month he should think about hanging them up as well , Kessler would thump **** into Taylor all night long , Taylor would survive purley on exerience but no way in this world would he beat kessler @ 168 + lbs . its all well and good bullshitting a fighter up just because your man might be fighting him but come on mate if you think Taylor beats kessler then i really don't know what to say to you next .

    Josey. Its not a foregone conclusion that Taylor can beat Kessler. Styles make fights. This is the way i see it. Kessler beats pretty much everyone at SMW. Obviously Jermain Taylor would give him his toughest test. Providing Taylor comes into the fight a lot stronger then when he was at MW. His lateral movement and speed should make the fight close.

    Kessler would take taylor out under 8 rounds imo. His pressure would give taylor fits.

    Thats all there really is to it.

    I have serious question marks about Kesslers ability fight when going backwards. I do think Taylor could make him fight going backwards. Depends how he looks against Lacy though. I still don't think Lacy is as bad as everyone says, hes a solid name.

    Jermain Taylor is a lazy **** mate he hit the Jackpot when he got TWO dubious decisions over Bernard Hopkins , he went all silk pygams and we know the rest with Pavlik , he got sparked in the first and although he rallied in the second didn't have it in him to win , he hasn't to my knowledge even fought at S/Middle yet so we can't really say how he will go @ 168lbs anyway why would he move up the S/Middle to fight Lacy only to come back down to fight Mandy ? do you REALLY think that is going to happen ? why throw these names in with Mundine's when the chances of them fighting are slim to say the least , thats my problem with Mandy's huggers you live in a fantasy world where you band his name around with the likes of Joe , kess , Kelly ,etc when inefect all he is fighting is , Harpo , Mo and Curley .

    How would you rate Kessler's attacking arsenal compared to Pavlik's?

    Kessler is all round a better fighter then Pavlik. I can't see Pavlik winning more then 3 rounds against Kessler. Kessler has a very very nice uppercut. And a solid straight right, which lands and holds more power then Pavliks over rated straight right hand. Unlike Pavlik, Kessler doesn't need to land the jab to bring the right in play. And if he does land the jab, the right comes through a lot quicker then Pavliks aka Beyer.

    No. I doubt Mundine will fight more then once at Middle weight. I was just stating he could make it if he wanted to.

    If he is to fight Taylor that would be at SMW. And i can see that happening. Possibly the big bout hes looking for after Sturm, since Pavlik lost.

    And who in there right mind would face Pavlik now? Other then Rubio. I mean hes a big puncher coming off a loss. If you win, everyone says Hopkins smacked him and he takes the glory.

    I agree.

    Kessler's a lot more crisper with his punches, is faster, more skilled, and has much better defence.

    Which is why I can't see Taylor backing up Kessler enough for him to cause Kessler much problems.

    Kessler's pressure will be too much for Taylor, and he'd finish him off in similar circumstances to how Pavlik did in their first encounter, though the fight wont be as close as that was up until the KO.

    Kessler has to drain to make SMW. Well i dunno, but he comes in on the limit.

    Taylor won't fight Froch If Froch wins he will duck him again and if Froch loses he won'y have anything to bring to te table , Taylor v Froch won't happen .
