    Taylor is not the same fighter anymore.

    Outboxing the muscular turtle isn't going to change things all of a sudden.

    Bull****. Calzaghe's toughest fight was Hopkins. Who he barely edged. He beat Kessler comfortably, and after the first 4 rounds it really wasnt that competitive. Hell given the fact that Calzaghe took Kesslers best and laughed it off, and Hopkins rocked Joe twice, what makes you think he is even that powerful? Especially if the fight was at 175?

    You guys are straight nutty if you think a basic fighter like Kessler beats Hopkins. Wow. Was that Hausler win really that impressive. :rofl

    not disrespecting your view in any way, but what do you base this on. I know B-hop is one of the most talented fighters of the last 25 years, but Kessler is no Pavlik

    Actually B-Hop was Calzaghe's toughest test... and it's arguable that Calzaghe even won. That is not the case with the fight against Kessler. Anyways I think a Kessler/Taylor fight would be close... I'd give the advantage to Taylor considering Kessler struggled with Calzaghe's speed and Taylor has good hand speed and hits much harder than Calzaghe.

    You know Kessler has had a few fights before Hausler... Does Mundine, Beyer, Siaca, Andrade and Lucas ring a bell?

    Hey lets all do what you do and rate fighters only after their latest fight. You do realize how credible you look talking down a fighter of Kesslers obvious quality?

    You must be very bright! You think Pavlik is on the same level as Kessler? Pull your head out of your ass.

    Toss up with a slight edge to Kessler imo.

    I dont follow the 168 division much, because I know it pretty much is one of the worst divisions in boxing recently and historically.

    But I have seen Mundine and Andrade. Mundine is nothing but a glorified club fighter who never fights out of Australia. Just look at his record of opponents. Andrade is just a crude fighter with power who'll be known for getting punched in his face alot.

    If you think anyone of these schmucks has anything on the talent of Hopkins or hell, Taylor you are out of your mind.

    Cal landed 232 punchs and had Bhop very tired. Bhop had to fake to low blows. Hop landed 132. Argument settled you lose man.

    Taylor didn't look especially great last night, but I'd still favor him over Kessler. Taylor by decision.

    Hater.

    Just stay in your Adamek and Dawson (because he beat Adamek) threads. We all know what you are saying, so just **** off bozo. Everyone here is tired of hearing you say the same things over and over.
