    eh dont know about that bro. kessler IMO is overrated as all hell and bute aint all that either. it will be sad if JT doesnt unify SMW he can clean up the whole division.

      Sure, there are some promising matchups next year, but I shouldn't have to close my eyes and pretend they are actually supporting a Dawson/Tarver rematch.

        Dan Rafael says they're not, Steve Kim says they are so maybe they aren't, nothing is confirmed yet, Dawson fighting on HBO against anybody gives him more exposure than he has now.

          I don't understand, why not? Taylor needs a belt and then unify against Kessler, bad move for HBO.

            Taylor vs Froch would be a great little fight. I'd probably prefer the Kessler fight over it though, but not the Winky one.
            While I agree, Keyzer, the highlighted word may just be the key word.

              Great card for HBO would be Taylor vs Froch and Kessler vs Bute with the winners of the fight facing each other later in the year, won't happen though.

                HBO must be fools! Building Taylors career at supermiddle should be a priority,but instead they rather air meaningless fight with Winky. It would be so much better if Taylor gained a belt from Froch and tried to unify it with Kessler. Why can't they see the big picture! Sending him in with Kessler now would be career suicide.

                  Taylor vs Froch would be a missmatch due to Frocks limiitations as a fighter.

                    u guys are acting like your suprised? hbo cares only about making money when it comes to boxing.

                    showtimes been showing the far better exciting match ups for the last several years and then when those fighters get big enough then they come to hbo and fight boring fights lol.

                      froch is better and punches harder than pavlik and look what he did to taylor.
