I dont think anyone beats Taylor at 168, he would get by any of the non american fighters easy, not saying they arent talented but fighters from abroad are always overrated simple as that. The thing is no one in that division can match his abilities. At 168 I dont even think Pavlik beats him.
THis is bullshit and Taylor is not gonna get koed if he stays off the ropes. Taylor kos bute, froch, Miranda, and may lose to Kessler but get real. Peace
Froch could knock Taylor out with a single uppercut in the center of the ring. I'm not saying it certainly would happen, but that's a possibility
Forget Calzaghe as he's moved to 175
At 168:
Kessler destroys him without trouble
Bute could edge him
Froch could lose a decision or knock Taylor out
I haven't studied up on INkin
Miranda could knock him out but I'd bet on a cautious JT to edge a decision
I don't know about Mundine
Lacy and Manfredo are better targets
Taylor should beat Bika but it's dangerous

I'd like to see Pavlik vs Kessler. I think Kessler's chin is as steady as Calzaghe's, but that body shot Zag hurt him with will have Pavlik thinking. On the flipside, if there are any remaining questions about Pavlik's chin - they'll be answered in this fight. Those Kessler uppercuts are absolutely HUGE!
Ooops - wrong thread. Ignore.
nobody. no one currently in that weight division has what it takes to beat taylor. he will rule that division.
You're fucked...
Taylor should fight Miranda, he'd beat that overrated fuck easily.
I don't consider Calzaghe as being a SMW anymore because he has stated he can't make the weight anymore.
Kessler is one I think has the skills to possibly beat Pavlik, there are other good fighters too but Kessler vs Pavlik would be the best fight.
It's pretty much a 50-50 IMO if Kessler can come back strong from the loss to Calzaghe.
Calzaghe probably would beat him. I don't know about Bute and Kessler beating him. He could fight Miranda as well.
He still has other options as well(Winky,Abraham,etc.)
