    I think this is the next logical fight for Jermain.

    How does it end?

    Taylor stretched out I think. At the very least a wide decision for Kessler.

    That's with my head and my heart. I don't think Taylor can hurt him, and I don't think he can win enough rounds when he takes so much time off doing **** whilst Kessler consistently pumps out a superior jab. I think the same defensive flaws are there to exploit, with the right hand over the jab. Lacy was too ****.

    Correction: Taylor got some highly debatable GIFT decisions against Hopkins; Kessler is gonna knock him OUT.

    Personally, I think he can.

    The downside is that Jermain has to get as many of those first 6-8 rounds in the bank because he has a tendency to run dry towards the end.

    Against Bernard Taylor won 6-7 of the first 8-9 rounds, and then Hopkins won the last rounds. Against an active Kessler Jermain will have to be sure to get past the 6 rounds in the bank - in the first half of the fight.

    Kessler is not an active high volume fighter, so no ****ing way is there a wide UD. Plus he comes straight in and out. JT has shitty stamina and will lose the later rounds most likely the fight by a close UD. Kessler's jab aint superior to ****, JT defeated Hopkins with his great jab alone. WHO THE **** HAS KESSLER BEAT?:rofl

    Taylor is not ready for Kessler.

    Correct, Taylor didn't beat Hopkins. And he ain't got any lateral movement of his own, he stands there and walks back. If he had any movement he wouldn't have got his ass knocked out by a zombie like Pavlik.

    You'll see when it happens. You don't know **** and your picks are almost always awful.

    If you didn't give Kessler a round against Calzaghe you should never, EVER score a fight again. And for referring to Calzaghe who is one of the more adaptable fighters of this generation as limited, you should really consider ending your own life or if you want to seek a more productive route consider obtaining a basic knowledge of the sport.
