dam taylor has to fight abraham in the first fight

[The Drogba]

AA is Taylor's best chance of winning

doubtful..taylor doesnt mentally have it anymore....

Lets put it this way. I'm so sure Taylor got this, that I will make a one way bet with you. If you win, I will sig this comment for a month:

I think Taylor can beat anyone in the tournament. Abraham likes to fight in spurts which is the completely wrong way to beat JT. It takes a hard punching pressure fighter to beat Taylor and Abraham only fits half the requirements. The boxers are in for a hell of a time if BHop had trouble outboxing Taylor so will anybody in this tournament. Kessler is the only fighter Im not sure if Taylor can beat just because hes got a lot of the same qualities that gave JT problems against Pavlik.

Wtf Taylor has this by wide UD quote me on it!!!

[deanrw]

lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So it's a deal bro. In fact, out of the first round fights, this is the one fight I'm sure of. Kessler would be also, but he has to answer a couple questions for me. He has been inactive when it comes to fighting top opposition so I wonder if he might be rusty.

It's not like Abraham fights a hard pace or anything!LOL Taylor may even knock him out. I cannot see Abraham winning this unless Taylor is shot.

1) AA is moving up in weight and will be fresher and sharper in the ring because he wont be as fatigued from making weight, he will be much more active than he normally is.

2) AA is not being KO'd by anyone, this guy is tough as t!ts. he went 8 rounds with a broken jaw vs miranda, whats more despite being drained and fatigued at MW he was very rarely hurt, normally when a fighter is having to work so hard to make weight one punch and theyre on ***** st (i.e haye, and cotto). AA was never hurt despite his difficulties in making weight which speaks volumes for the strength of the man

this fight goes one of three ways:

a) AA KO's KT early on, he fights at a higher pace than expected and his body work and heavy hands mean taylor doesn't see the 9th rnd

b) AA is slightly behind on the scorecards and slighty steps it up in the last few rounds and gets the late KO

c) JT outboxes AA and this would restore some of his lost confidence

personally i wouldn't be surprised to see JT lose and drop out of the tourney and try and rebuild his career. i think right now he would gets wins vs ward and dirrell but if he suffers an early loss his confidence could be shot and then even those fights begin to look hard.

i got arthur by ko..i think taylor is done...i got kessller over ward...and dirrell over froch

To me this fight hinges on whether or not Abraham can make it thru the first six rounds. Lets be honest Taylor will be Abraham's best opponent by far. If Taylor can knock down Pavlik and Froch he can do the same to Abraham who will be a shorter opponent that is likely to be more susceptible to the Taylor Jab. This could be a big mistake from the King. IMO should have fought Sturm or Pavlik at 160 for mega money and then could have ventured North. But instead he goofed around for his last two years fighting bums.
