    you guys are not giving taylor enough credit for his chin. there are few fighters who have gone through as many tough fights as taylor. you all get caught up in **** too much. watch it in slow mo and tell me one fighter who would not be out with that punch arthur landed.
    Did you not see the Taylor and Roy fights? They landed some pretty hard punches, yet they couldn't knock Lacy down. The same Taylor who knocked pavlik on his ass and had him tripping all over the ring. The same Taylor who had Froch tripping all over the ring. Don't you **** on Lacy's chin, thats about all he had but it was a great chin.

      Kessler doesn't impress me at all though.

      But then, I don't like any European fighters.
      Kessler impresses me. He will possibly become the first to defeat Abraham when they clash.

          JT fought better comp but you are embarrassing yourself by trying to seriously make an argument for Taylor having a better chin than Kessler.....you don't go through 40+ fights against ok not great but decent opposition without getting dropped ever if you don't have a good chin. You get exposed eventually, and I need not even make any arguments. Kessler and him never being dropped does it for me while JT gets ko'd in 3 pretty recent fights.

            Depends, styles make fights. Anyone can be KO'd if they leave their chin out their. Lacy is past it anyways, he probably has brain damage he took alot of punishment in his career just as bad as Taylor has if not worse. Most likely worse since fighters landed alot of blows on Lacy.

              It's tough to say. Kessler has never been knocked down and only hurt once in his career, but hasn't faced the type of big punchers that Taylor has.

              It's hard to pick, but if you put a gun to my head, I'd say Kessler.

                yea you do. look at ricky hatton.

                i never said kessler didnt have a good chin. i was stating that taylor does have a good chin and until kessler takes the same punches from the same fighters that taylor has, then we will compare.

                  I agree, but Abraham or Kessler could get upset and knocked out of the tournament.

                    i was saying the same exact punch in the same exact sequence, just imagine instead of taylor, it was lacy.

                      No fullproof way of knowing. JT has faced bigger punchers than Kessler at this point.
