Kessler's trainer: Mikkel would have to break an arm to lose the tournament.

taylor is very skilled, he'd be the favourite if it were'nt for his late round change where he becomes lazy and gives up

I hate that he has that crap. I saw it live and it got my so angry, because i was rooting for him to beat Froch and ive never been so angry before to see someone lose in a sporting event as i was that night.

Dude better get his ass in there. His career is fast dyin.

That's great news. Where did you hear this man?

dibella said it himself, right after the froch fight if im not mistaken.

I don't think Taylor can handle this mentally tbh. It's not his skills that are the problem.

For someone who has lost 3 of his last 4 bouts this has to seem like a daunting task. On top of that it's been a long time since Taylor stopped someone so he will be on the short end of any tie-breaking points system that may come into play.

It's just that he was only 30 seconds from beating Froch. I also fancies his chances against Abraham in Germany where there won't be outside pressure on him to succeed which would be the first time in a long time.

If he beats AA anything is possible.

Shilstone is also the architect of the heavyweight Evander Holyfield.

yeah it is. I dont think he can beat AA, or Kessler, or Froch again, bc that fight will mess with his head.

I've been openly critical on AA for quite awhile saying he is beatable but I actually think it is a bad matchup for Taylor.

To me Taylor isn't smart enough to be selective with his punches in a fight with AA. He will find a way to wear himself out.

I really think he will be so wary of AA's power that he will be constantly moving and throwing a lot of useless punches into AA's gloves just to keep him occupied.

What Taylor needs to do is draw AA into throwing, make him miss, and counter. Taylor counters with his jab over wild rights hands as well as anyone in boxing. That could be a weapon but I just don't see JT holding it together for 12 rounds.

Replace Abraham with Froch, and that would be my list.
