Taylor will do much better against Calzaghe than Pavlik would. Taylor relies a lot on athleticism while Pavlik relies on more one-dirrectional power and stamina. Calzaghe is not phazed by power etc, but athleticism is a better anti-dote. It worked against Hopkins, although Bernard is still cagy enough to make the fights very close. However, Taylor will have to beat Kessler for Calzaghe to take notice. I say - let's get Taylor-Kessler in Vegas for January 2009!!!!!!!!!
Kessler won't be getting any easy paydays, sorry. If Joe has balls he'll fight Dawson and that will be that.
**** you. What has your posterboy Kessler done to make you think that? Taylor has been in there with the jabs of Hopkins and Winky and would take KEsslers jab away and Kessler would not know what to do next. It would look like what Hopkins did to Pavlik. Wide UD for Taylor and Jermain would be back in p4p top 5. :bbb
Taylor and Kessler are almost carbon copies of each other, except that Kessler has a bigger frame and a much smoother/faster right hand. He equals or outguns Taylor in every single category and stylistically there are almost fighting a shadow of themselves
I'd love to see Taylor-Kessler. The winner would take the top spot in the division IMO (regardless of who has what "titles" out there).
