    Actually I thought that it came from nowhere. Bad Intentions?

    Well lets throw Kessler in the mix. If Taylor knocks out Bute - what on earth will happen to Lucien if he faces Kessler?? Death or maybe even worse?

    Taylor has been draining himself to make 160 and that's why he got knocked out by Pavlik in their first fight. At 164, he was still drained and he was robbed by Pavlik. Personally, I scored it 119-109 Taylor. At 168, Taylor will not need to drain any weight and will be a major elite force. Bad Intentions will clean out the division, then call out Calzaghe and knock his ass out too.

    Interesting...I agree Taylor's jab would cause trouble, but Bute could fall back on his reach advantage and better footwork and movement to counterpunch to the body and move. He might not have to play straight into Taylor's hands...:think Would Taylor last 12 rounds at that pace? Bute might wait to find the opening and go for the T/KO late on...

    You do have a point - Bute hasnt faced any solid competition yet. Berrio was b level at best and never ever a real titleholder.
    But Bute seems to have good fundamentals - AND he's a speedy tall southpaw.

    Green and Pascal? Since when are they Top 10? Bika and Berrio, on the other hand, were...I would say, Top 10-13.:good

    Well huki I hate to disprove you but the whole weight thing for Taylor is bull****...after Pavlik-Taylor1 Taylor was asked "Jermain, how hard was it for you to make 160?" the reply was "I just had to do a little bit more running thats all"
    I like Jermain and I hope your right about him cleaning out the division...I would like to see him take Miranda out first...what do you think?

    Bika is better than Berrio imho. Berrio has never been top ten - Bika is somewhere between 9 and 12 i guess.
