I may be able to beat you in a 10 yard sprint it doesn't mean I can beat you over 100 metres.

    You do get a bit animated don't you I can have an opinion without being called ridiculous. If Taylor wins I will admit to my ridiculous statement - wouldn't count on it happening though
    He does always fade towards the end of the fight but if he can stay out of danger and not get KO'd, he's fine. He was up FOUR rounds on two judges score cards going into the 12th round of the Froch fight. He didn't even have to land a punch, just not get KO'd, and well, he obviously didn't succeed. The fact that Taylor didn't even have to be effective in the 11th or 12th round to win the fight on the cards is good enough reason for me to prove that he can beat any of the other 5 fighters.. even with his late round weaknesses... that's all i'm saying..

    I can see what your both saying. Taylor certainly has the skills and pedigree to give any individual opponent in this tournament huge problems, and a win over any of these fighters individually, even Kessler or Abraham would only be a mild upset imo.

    What I think H is saying is that the possibility of Taylor making it through the entire tournament without a train wreck happening is extremely unlikely.

    Can he outbox Kessler over 12 rounds, and hold on to win a decision, possibly.

    Can he avoid Abraham's power shots and stand up to the hardest hitting puncher in the tournament, possibly.

    Is he likely to be able to get through 5 consecutive fights, against Abraham, Kessler, Froch, Ward and Direll without at least once being caught and brutally finished?

    Let's just say I wouldn't be putting much money on that bet.........
