    Mikkel Kessler vs Jermain Taylor

    Hopefully this fight happens in 2009

    As we all know, Pavlik beat Taylor twice. Kessler is a much better fighter than Pavlik, he is bigger, stronger, faster, more skilled, more athletic, etc.

    I think Kessler would KO Taylor

    Taylor is one of the most talented 160/168 lb fighters out there right now.

    he has the talent/skill to be a crafty boxer that packs a great punch...

    he just seems so unmotivated to me.



    Even though he won big against lacy he still seemed vulnerable.

    It matters on which taylor shows up to the fight honestly...if we see the BEST jermain taylor then he wins a decision...if we see a taylor who is unsure of himself then kessler stops him.

      Taylor has not been the old Taylor since his 2 fights with Hopkins in which he was an animal who gave Hopkins a run for his money.. After that he 'forgot' his great jab and lost some motivation. Then he had a couple of great fights with Pavlik that brought back some of the old Taylor but he lost both fights and just didn't look good against Lacy.. Which was a boring fight IMO.

      Kessler right now would eat him straight up.

        Taylor by a decision, but I can see it being a close and good fight to watch.

          I got Taylor by decision, this fight should so happen though. Both guys are fun to watch.

            This is the best fight that can be made at 168.

              I think JT needs to switch up his style. Only thing I like about JT is that he is GREAT when he is under attack but thats about it.

                Taylor by decision. Fight could go either way though. Depends on how well Taylor uses his advantages and controls pace/ring in fight.

                    if the best taylor shows up- the one that had 2 close fights with b-hop- taylor will UD him easy

                    if the worst taylor shows up, i can see kessler winning a decision

                    kessler isnt a very good fghter, he is stiff and robotic, doesnt even hit that hard, and has a **** resume
