Calzaghe fight against Hopkins was alot closer than PBF vs Oscar
but polls dont represent the true story, this is an online forum with lots of alts etc
if u want another poll, how does castillo beating mayweather 65% votes sound?
Kessler by wide decision or late stoppage. Jermain could have a moment here and there, but otherwise he'd get a sound whooping here and would lose all middle and late rounds
Good point,
But Hopkins is now a full fleged light-heavyweight. And when the 2 stood next to each other Hopkins looked physically bigger imo.
i agree, depends on how you want to look at it i guess
you could also say Hopkins was smaller considering most of his career was at middleweight and Calzaghe`s was at SMW,
i dont know

I know,
But at least that old man was bigger than him. Taylor almost lost to Spinks and Wright (Although, the Wright fight can't be held against him really. Winky is a top fighter)

Give us a stylistic analysis.
How will each one look to control the fight?
Will Kessler try and hold centre ring with his jab, or come forward, applying continual pressure?
Will Taylor look to play the role of counter-puncher, or take the fight to Kessler?
Take your logical analysis and fuck off out of my thread Mexican.
Kessler has almost every advantage in this fight, but I doubt this fight will ever be made since Kessler has a shitty promoter named palle and palle has been a little bitch ever since Kessler lost to Calzaghe. Kessler is naturally bigger then taylor, don't buy into the hype when taylor says that he is too small for a middleweight. If that were the case then he wouldn't have been fighting junior middleweights and going the distance with smaller guys then himself. Also taylor is good but he never did look god like, cory spinks kind of exposed taylor in there fight. Even if Spinks didn't win and it was one of the most broing fights ever in the entire sport, spinks still did something to taylor... He made Taylor look real bad. Also, Kessler is as fast as taylor and definitely I would say stronger then Taylor... Kessler is like a copy of pavlik except Kessler moves in better angles in my opinion. But I think Kessler is also there more to be hit, I don't think his defense is all that great compared to Pavliks. I think Pavlik has a pretty solid defense when he is a come forward type fighter. Thats why people are scared when they fight pavlik, the guy comes forward and not always in angles but his defense and picking your punching apart is amazing. People compare Pavlik to Lacy because of his come-forward kind of style but what those same people didn't realize is that Pavliks defense is far superior to lacys. Oh, and Jeff Lacy vs Jermaine Taylor is a fucking dumb ass fight, taylor will pick lacys shit defense apart. Lacy is an ass fighter who almost got exposed by Peter Manfredo. The same Peter Manfredo who kept falling on the ropes against Calzaghe like a little bitch. I might be knocking on Manfredo, I don't think he is that good of a boxer but I do think he knows this sport and he loves it. I saw interviews with him and he knows how to pick fights good(pick calzaghe over hopkins, picked calzaghe over kessler), the only problem is that I think he keeps fighting at the wrong weight class. I personally don't think super middle weight is his weight class. I think he is too small for the weight class.
Paragraphing is a useful tool.

Taylor late KO
I see Taylor no chance whatsoever of stopping Kessler. Have you ever seen Kessler seriously hurt? This is easily the least likely outcome IMO.
