It's all well and good to cheer your favorite fighter but to totally dis a guy like Taylor for someone who hasn't proven himself vs anyone nearly as tough as Wright or Hopkins is ridiculous.

Kessler may prove me wrong but he hasn't done anything yet to regard such hype...all he is a white Scandinavian with tatoos...oooh he's such a badass
No, Taylor is not fighting the best oposition, but he is fighting the American opposition and then he is ranked by many, you included, as the best - I do not think that Taylor would beat Sturm, Abraham and Asikainen - do you remember how highly Jeff Lacy was ranked by almost any American before the Calzaghe fight? Many thought that he was close to be p4p material.... - but first time he met European live opposition he was killed as a small boy. What will happen to Taylor when he can not hide fighting old americans?
Your so dillusional it's not even funny. Those, "old Americans", are p4p GREATS... Bhop and arguably Winky as well are both probably greater than any fighter Europe has ever produced EVER, at least none would surpass them. Id like to see someone try and argue that..... Give me the best Eastern European fighter of all time my friend..... Oh that's what I thought. Give me the best opponent Kessler has beaten....... His resume llooks about the same as Lacy's did before he fought Calzaghe, and Ill admit that he isn't getting anywhere near the hype, but that's because he lives in a country that probably eats blocks of ice or something, and don't even own televisions... Matter of fact, Calzaghe kind of looked like a midget when he fought Lacy didn't he?? Kessler and Lacy have a similar build, actually...
