I'd give him a much better shot against Taylor (though I wouldn't pick him) because he's more comfortable going up against a guy like Taylor, a guy who he can stalk. Kind of the same with Kessler although Kessler could probably back him up with the jab and the right hand if he wanted to. Not really his style though.

Still wouldn't pick him over Kessler and I don't see Kessler being afraid of Miranda, more of a type of risk/reward situation like somebody else mentioned, Kessler doesn't need Miranda as much as Miranda needs Kessler.
Well Kessler came to the US looking for someone to fight over here. I don't think they will put Taylor in with him right away. Lacy is still rebounding. They only guys who seems suitable would be guys like Miranda or Green. Green is going through a contract dispute. Miranda seems to be the only logical opponent over here at this time. Kess mentioned Winky as a possible opponent, but I would rather see him fight Miranda myself as a Miranda fight would guarantee some excitement.
