Jermain "No Ducking or Dodging" Taylor. :good If he takes this fight, the record of his most recent competitors is ridiculous.
You know nothing about Taylor, Dawson, Diaconu, or Kessler. Kessler's mind didn't hit the ''shithouse'' against Calzaghe. He went through what every young fighter go through when they suffer thier first lost. He will take that fight and become a better fighter. I think that he could become a dominate champion after Calzaghe moves up.
great fight , this is what boxing should be about. the best fighting the best, no matter how much money is involved. But something tells me Taylor will end up fighting the guys who produce more cash and a lesser risk. Trinidad, Roy Jones or even Mayorga
This is why the idea of him fighting Roy Jones first makes sense. Taylor needs a good payday against a faded opponent to his his footing back for super middle. A fight with Kessler to follow would get him a big crowd on either side of the Atlantic and be a fight he could win if he can avoid Kessler's power.
Wow, I think Taylor should sit back and take a tune up at 168 before Kessler but hey I won't complain if the fight takes place.
I have been saying this for years. Despite all of the trash talk about him, HE FIGHTS THE BEST FIGHTERS. PERIOD. I can forgive a guy who doesn't listen to his cornerman, when he's got a massive heart and ducks nobody. He actually looked pretty good in the last fight as well. Full respect to Jermain Taylor.
He looked very good in the last fight. I had it at least 7-5 in his favour. Shame we all score boxing for different things, though.
It will be interesting to see what he is like once he puts on the extra weight. I think his last 'fought at' weight indicates he hasn't added the extra muscle he needs to yet to move up to SM. I think he was at 171 for a 166 pound limit fight. Is that too far off what he went into the ring at in his first Pavlik fight? What did Calzaghe and Kessler carry into the ring?
**** a ****ing kessler, You dingbats kill me. Even JT with all his flaws has more skills than that one dimensional robot. The way Pavlik beat taylor aint have **** to do with anything kessler brings to the table.
Very happy for Mikkel if this fight happens although I was hoping for a Bute shot at Taylor. Also, respect to Taylor for gunning for the best again.:good
