    Bernard's not coming anywhere lower than 170.If he wanted to fight at 168 he would have moved up to 68 instead of 75.

    I don't know.

    If the money is right, he'd drop two pounds to grab a title in yet another weight class.

    Taylor would beat him again. This time, it would be just.

    He struggled with an old Calzaghe who had lost a lot of speed and pop.

    Taylor doesnt have quite the workrate, but that jab, punching power and speed of a young man, combined with an aging champion who is getting past it despite how he looked against Pavlik, and you've got another UD loss for Bernard.

    Id rather him win his farewell fight.

    Why would Taylor take a 3rd fight with Hopkins? Especially if he beats Froch?

    Taylor beats Froch and he'll probably earn a massive payday for a Kessler fight.

    Only if they fought in Denmark.

    Taylor would make more against Hopkins and probably view it (rightly or wrongly) as an easier fight.

    I'm not so sure if he'd make more against Hopkins. I guess it depends on what Kessler does between today and a year or so from now.

    In all honesty he probably makes more money against Bute really.

    I actually like Kessler a lot. It's his promoters who suck ass.
