Rafael: Taylor/Kessler unlikely, Taylor/Bute being discussed

[Spirit]

I think Bute will present at least as much of a problem as Kessler will. Yes Andrade deserved that KO win, but Bute still takes a hell of a shot and I'm not sure Taylor has more power than Andrade. He doesn't have his chin. Taylor-Bute would be great because there's no predicting this fight, yet both fighters have atleticism, power and keep their hands low. To me that makes for the best fight out there. I could forgive Taylor for not fighting Froch seeing as a handful of people on this board know him, it wouldnt make any sense money wise

Kessler is a typical Euro champ and will hide in Europe the rest of his lame ass career

Complete crap. Since he lost to Calzaghe, every excuse in the book has been rolled out to avoid him.

Taylor needs to stop hiding in the US fighting bums and get to Europe and fight some proper opponents.

I'm struggling to have respect for Taylor. He's one of few whom lucky enough that can genuinely land numerous fights unlike others, yet seems to only be interested in the money and not the hardest fights to prove himself as the best in the division, of what is a sport.

Lacy first was a mega mis match and I was surprised so many people tolerated it. Bute is a lot better clearly, but it's far from the hardest fight out there for him. He's seriously avoiding Froch and Kessler it seems, but it will probably come off soon enough, at least one hopes.

I've seen it all now. A Calzaghe fan berating Taylor for not going after tough opponents.

Hopkins x2, Pavlik x2, Winky mean anything to you? And he's just moved to SMW after coming off two losses, and he's supposedly ducking everyone?

Proper like Danilo Haussler and Dmitri Sartison?

Bute/Taylor would be a good match-up. Two quick boxers with good jabs who have a history of fatiguing down the stretch. Bute keeps his hands lower but I think his movement is a little better. If Andrade could get to Bute, then Taylor definitely will.

I see this as being a pretty exciting fight.

i don't mind if kessler and taylor don't fight right away but build up to an eventual fight like next year.
