    Ward doesn't have the power to KO Taylor, so I think he has a pretty good shot

    Taylor was fit and ready tonight despite his last result, his biggest problem was Abraham's guard. I wished he'd see the final bell, but he didn't. But his stamina was ok, Abraham looked much worse in that category. Taylor also rebounded very well from the 1st Pavlik loss, losing an extremely close decision. So my point is: JT can put losses behind him and prepare well for the next task. Andre Ward doesn't bring power to the fight, and if Taylor can work on the speed, he might blast out Ward, or lose a competitive decision. Either way, it's an okay fight for him.

    Ward will KO him quicker than Abraham did. So will all of the Super Six.

    Taylor might as well knock himself out if he ever gets in there with Kessler.

    How so, Ward isn't a big puncher. If anything I think it would be close and competitive.

    Taylor should be able to handle Ward. Ward isn't on Abraham or Froch's level.

    I think Ward is capable of landing on him a lot more frequently than Abraham and he has enough pop to hurt him. All he has to do is get Taylor hurt, and the fight will be over. Taylor will probably turn up in even worse shape now that he's been brutally knocked out for a third time.

    Ppl STILL dont realize that Taylor sucks!

    Ward will beat him. I said from day ONE Taylor was the weakest link in the tourney.

    If Ward wins or even looks good vs Kessler in a loss, I don't think Taylor really has a chance. JT's only real shot is if Ward comes out of the Kessler fight with his confidence severely shaken. Taylor's sure is.
