    I don't even know how Kessler gets to 168, he's a big guy you say he was a LHW looking at him. Taylor would be much better off fighting one of the middle ranked SMWs rather than him. If he wanted to go for a championship, why not call out Bute? The only thing going for this fight is that we might get a definitive answer on the 'Who is the harder puncher Mikkel or Kelly? ' threads on this board!!!!

        I think everyone here has over-rated Kessler due to propaganda from the Calzaghe camp. I realize this isn't the most rational or popular of arguments, but I do believe this. The reality is Kessler is merely a good competent fighter, so all this "perfect" stuff came as a way of building Kessler up. Taylor easy UD.

          He impressed in the Calzaghe fight. He went up against an elite fighter and showed a good chin, very good speed, good strength, and good technique.

            Taylor should not take this fight yet it would be better if both were to win a belt at 168lb then fight each other.

              He's an elite fighter who's best known for his fight with calzaghe. Calzaghe gets most credit for his fight for Kessler and Kessler gets the most credit for his fight with Calzaghe. I think we need a couple more variables in the equation. With that said, i think this fight is a little closer than we imagine but i'd have to place my bets on Kessler for the W. Taylor may want a fight with Kessler b/c he doesn't want to look mediocre vs the lower ranked guys then have difficulty getting a title shot..

                  Kessler will be by a very wide margin the best fighter Taylor has faced, and he's faced some damn good ones.

                      I think Taylor is going for double or nothing. He needs a big win to get back on track, 2 back to back losses are hard to get over. Respect to that, although Kessler is going to be as hard of a fight as Pavlik.
