    I know its early and Jermain and Calzaghe both fought in the last 2 weeks, but come on guys lets face it... There are not many fights with more sense out there than Kessler vs Taylor, and Calzaghe knows he still has something to prove against Hopkins... so why not make it Happen.

    We all know Calzaghe aint going fight Dawson, he to... how do I put this... in his prime, Hopkins is asking for rematch that he deserves, not just one that he wants.

    Taylor needs someone like Kessler so he can prove that he is fully back.

    Kessler needs to stop fighting bums and hiding from quality fighters and try and prove his actually a good fighter.

    Dawson beat em all, but honestly Slappy would slap his way to a UD vs Bhops, Kessler and Taylor should happen soon since JT just flushed lacy's career down the toilet.

    Vitaly beat em all.

    Taylor-Kessler

    Taylor-Calzaghe (Jermain probably needs Kessler first to get Joe interested)

    Hopkins - Kessler

    Dawson - Calzaghe

    These are the four most interesting fights to be made!

    Lacy was always a hype job with no substance, Taylor is still not a good fighter IMO.

    I believe the Pavlik losses took something out of him, those were brutal fights (particularly the first).

    Well I dont know. Good question but being that they all recently fought most fighters will take some time off to rest after 3 months of training. Not to mention there has to be negotiations made for the fight to happen.

    Wait did you think that fighters just agree the night before the fight and then just hop in the ring and fight?

    dude relax you are not that smart, after fights people usually have an idea of who will fight next, mainly becuase one fighter either calls out another or most promoters were talking about who they wanted if the fight went their way. there has not been any talk about all this 4 fighters except Hopkins calling out Calzaghe

    Taylor vs Kessler would be a good and interesting fight. IMOP i think Taylor fought better opposition then Kessler. Kessler fought one elite fighter and that was Calzaghe and through his career just fought a bunch of European fighters.Even though kessler is a good fighter I think I give the edge to Taylor.Taylor is a good fighter and i believe his experience with quality opponents would be enough to beat the Kessler. I really don't know what's all the hype about kessler really but to say he would destroy Taylor i find very ridiculous. Taylor showed he is still competitive in lacy fight even though i think Lacy was just a hype fighter and once he got destroyed in the Calzaghe fight he never was the same fighter again and the injury didn't help either. But this fight needs to happen because I want to see Taylor back on top again and of course it makes business since $$$$$

    TOO TRUE FOR BOTH KESSLER AND TAYLOR...BUT SPEAKING HOPKINS BITCHING ABOUT A REMATCH WITH A GUY HE THINKS HE NEVER LOST TO, HOW ABOUT HOPKINS-TAYLOR III AT SUPER MIDDLE?

    Hopkins vs. Calzaghe II interests me the most. Calzaghe vs. Taylor is possibly onesided, especially with Taylor fading down the stretch and simply losing a clear decision. Hopkins is likely the only one with the ring smarts to put Calzaghe to the test. Dawson would be interesting also.
