    There are 6 decent fighters with belts or with eliminators for JC's crown coming up. and Abraham and Pavlik could move up at any time.

    Who will take Calzaghes position at the top of the super middleweight division.

    Taylor. He has far better punch variety than Kessler.

    Kessler. He has proven his quality at the weight, has great fundamentals, can punch and box and has shown a good chin, There isnt anything obviosuly wrong with the way he fights. Taylor also has good boxing ability but his punch nis suspect, as is his chin. He also showed when middleweight champ that he can be lazy in fights and drop rounds, which would be a mistake against technically sound operators like Kessler and Bute.

    Pavlik has the size to make a great super middleweight imo and Kessler - Pavlik will be a superfight for the future.

    He lost to a better fighter . . . when that better fighter is gone the second best will take over. It's not hard to understand that. :D

    I voted for Taylor, BUT, JT/Kessler is one helluva good fight in my opinion.
