Does anybody care? Honestly... I'd like to see Taylor fight Kessler maybe. I think both guys need a big fight to put them back on the map a bit.
I see this as the kinda fight RJJ will jump all over if he gets the chance and you know JT will fight just about anyone.
Why such a problem with this fight, Taylor I believe would be stupid to jump right back in the ring with someone like Kessler after 2 straight losses. It would be smart for JT to take a fight that he believes he should win to get his confidence up, JT is still young enough that he has plenty of time to fight the best, I mean hell his last 7 fights have been against very elite opponents, I personally think he should chill out the rest of this year and try to get a couple good wins. On the other hand RJJ would get a huge boost if he could beat JT, both fighters need to get a big win to get back to the top so I would love this fight, hopeing that RJJ would win too
but..kessler isn't as set in stone in the US as taylor is. the calzaghe fight was, literally, make or break, for two fighters who had never tested the US market.
Rich, why do you capitalize every word? :? And this would be a fight I'd definitely be interested in, I'm taking Taylor by KO.
JT was at 171 for the Pavlik fight recently. Does anyone doubt that he's already a player at SMW and that he will make a very good LHW in the near future? I was really impressed with JT in his last fight. He seemed to improve by leaps and bounds in terms of using his talents the right way.
super middles and light heavies are both in need of quality fighters. so i have no doubt taylor can cut it with either.
And RJJ was also present at the fight. My instincts tell me what RJJ wants no part of JT. Too much youth, power, and talent for RJJ to handle right now. But i could be wrong.
