    Taylor would have two round to try and KO Kessler by some horrifc fluke on par with a miracle. Then it is only going one way.

    Nah, I was kidding to a point of course. But really his really shitty fight was that horse **** with Spinks. IMO, he lost that sumbitch. But on the other hand, he shouldn't just be written off like he's being either.

    Would be a good fight.The fact is Taylor is taking big risks is because now h after the 2 losses to Pavlik he has to be a contender not able to pick and choose.Kessler is "no mug" as we say in Britain he had WBC and WBA before the Calzaghe fight and didnt disgrace himself in that bout.Taylor must have a confidence crisis he believed his own hype and was put to the sword by KP.
    A Kessler victory has to reduce Taylor to journeyman standard

    Kessler is supposed to be this monster why isnt he matched up already, shouldnt it just be a roll call of blue chip fighters and him taking them out one by one? when is this gonna happen or is he gonna let Miranda take all the chances and fight all the name guys?

    This would be a great match up. I'd pick Kessler by late round TKO.

    I know you hate him, but don't you give him credit for his competition, all things aside?

    I think his competition is overrated. Wright, MW version just coming off of a close fight with Sam Soliman of all people and an old Hopkins are the best two, obviously. So you have two very good names/opponents and then a bunch of B levels, mostly from 154.

    I personally have never been hyped on Pavlik and he lost twice.

    Ouma, Spinks, Marquez & a shot Joppy, WOW, for a big MW, not impressive.

    I seriously doubt he'll ever fight Kessler, he'll stay in his own league.

    I think it is fair to say that it actually was work in progress until he met one slippery fellow named Joe Calzaghe. This is what can easily happen to a relatively young fighter against an seasoned veteran, especially in the veterans backyard. What's really interesting is to see in what shape, mentally and physically, Kessler returns. Real champs are recognised by how they cope with defeat.

    What's that going to do for him? Confidence alone isn't going to win him a fight against a Kessler or a Bute.

    We can stop being naive now...Taylor gives Kessler and Bute the fight of their lives:deal Taylor could walk away the victor in either fight....It would take a serious idiot to write him off completely:yep
