Taylor vs Kessler

[Clanger]

I think Kessler is just about a notch above Tsypko.

Taylor is world class by showing balls to climb back in the one of the best middleweights of recent times who knocked him out, yet still gave him fits for long spells.

Kessler meanwhile has a dudley record of opponents and took Joe the full 12 rounds...

...If Joe was knocking everyone cold then that would be some feat but the fact remains Joe has gone the distance about 8 or 9 times of his last 10 fights so that is hardly a mouth watering achievement.

I'd give the nod to Taylor to rack up the points. I'd also pick Hopkins to beat Kessler too. And Pavlik.

That may sit uneasily with the Kessler supporters, but he is far from the skilled, rounded boxer people make him out to be. He has a good jab and good power, but little else and he looks very open for the overhand right as he always always drops his left after throwing it (as Sartison proved in the early rounds when he shook him to the bone)

I must add i like Kessler, Im a big fan and like the guy too and hope he does get some big fights.

Taylor got knockout by one of the best middleweights of recent times?? Are we talking about Pavlik here? I think he needs to do a bit more than beat Taylor twice and C class Miranda before being branded one of the best middleweights or recent times.

Kessler a notch above Tsypko hahahahah, are you serious?? The same Tsypko who robbed average Brian Mcgee for the European title 5 years ago?? I think you need to do a little more research if you think Kessler is only a notch above Tsypko, try 5 million notches and you might be a little closer.
