    All europeans are supposed to meet all americans... (I think)

    Taylor would outbox Kessler to a close but unanimous decision.

    Kessler is all wrong for Taylor IMO.

    He can outjab him, he throws more correct punches, and he gets hit less. Plus Taylor's vulnerable to rights and Kessler's is sharp and precise.

    I don't dislike him; he has more bollocks than anyone in boxing. He's highly over-rated though.

    Lol people confusing Froch's lack of speed with his lack of technique. I suggest rewatching the fight you'll see a man judge punch distance well and gradually wear his opponent down through accumulation.
    Unfortunately some people are just plain 'dazzled' by fast hands. Go figure.

    Anyway Taylor beats the **** out of Kessler. Kessler has weaknesses that are literally 'Taylor' made for Jermain Taylor - no pun intended. Styles make fights after all.

    Taylor is still an exceptionally talented fighter. Don't make the mistake that people made about Hopkins when he was beaten by a "Euro-fighter"....what happened? He came back and pissed on an up and coming American Champion.

    Kessler has everything Froch has in abundance. Plus: a jab, a defence etc. If Pavlik can do it and even Froch can do it, Kessler can absolutely do it.
