How does Jermaine Taylor, who has fought Hopkins twice and Wright once in his last five fights (counting Spinks), get a rash of shit for fighting two junior middleweights (Ouma and Spinks), but Joe "I'm not ducking Kessler" Calzaghe (I'm not even going to mention his recent choice of opposition, but we all know its a joke), get lauded and praised for trying to make a fight with Taylor, who is in a lower division??
I don't believe any of the bullshit that Taylor would be a bigger drawn, make more money etc. because there is a huge buzz for a Calzaghe-Kessler fight and JT doesn't seem to be that big of a draw.
I'm not a fan of JT or of Calzaghe, but it doesn't seem right that Taylor, who has recently fought much tougher opposition that Calzaghe, is ripped apart for fighting guys from lower weight-classes and is ducking nobody (Wright - one of my favorite fighters - screwed himself out of a rematch), and Calzaghe, who is ducking Kessler, is praised for trying to fight JT.
The only fight I want to see involving Calzaghe is with Kessler.
