Options for Jermain Taylor after his official starching?
 

What are they going to be? Moving to SMW as we discussed after a KO loss and a full exposing of his subpar chin would not be a viable option, but making weight at 160 is becoming difficult. On top of it, Taylor would have already been destroyed against the solid, but non-spectacular Pavlik and Abraham would do the same, Sturm will just stay in Germany and fight nobodies.

I suppose he could rematch Wright after getting destroyed and maybe this time the decision will go to the right man, whoever that may be, sadly, even after he was destroyed, the winner would be well regarded, as would the loser.:lol:

It's really too bad he can't make 154, he seems to have success in that area.

What are the option for the disgraceful Jermain Taylor after his official brutal starching at the hands of the solid, but non-spectacular Kelly Pavlik?

wow am i gonna be drunk that night........





wait what?

He's in dire straits as far as 160 goes. He doesn't want to be there any more. He'll be up to 168 and whatever that brings.

He is not disgraceful, Amsterdam!:-( Just because he didn't want to come to Wales to fight Calzaghe doesn't make him disgraceful. Perhaps Calzaghe should have left his hometurf for once to make this fight happen, but instead he stays in Wales and fights the guys that comes to him.;) Even his fight against Hopkins that got cancelled would have been in UK.:roll:

If/after Taylor gets stopped by Pavlik, he will move up to 168 where he will either get a rematch with Pavlik or fight a tune up fight against a fringe contender before trying to secure a title shot.

Re: Options for Jermain Taylor after his official starching?
 

win or lose taylor moves up to 168, with a loss you'll probably stop hearing his team calling for calzaghe though

Re: Options for Jermain Taylor after his official starching?
 

Who's team calling for Calzaghe? Taylor's?

They turned down a 6 million dollar offer for a fight at 168 in Vegas on two occassions. DiBella isn't that stupid, even if he managed to beat Pavlik, he'd never be in the ring against Calzaghe.

This is the absurdity that we have to live with, when people ignore the actual events that went down and the way that boxing is done these days.

Taylor vs. Calzaghe?:rofl

Re: Options for Jermain Taylor after his official starching?
 

The offer was for a bout in Las Vegas, get your facts straight.

Re: Options for Jermain Taylor after his official starching?
 

Are you not slighty wary staking your entire reputation on someone like Pavlik -questionmark-

Re: Options for Jermain Taylor after his official starching?
 

Blockhead, you'll be IP banned for six months, because you can't predict a fight for shit and can't analyse for shit, but act like you are the end all of boxing knowledge.

We won't have to see you and your foul presence for six months.

Still muscled?:yep

Re: Options for Jermain Taylor after his official starching?
 

Not at all, Taylor is garbage against pressure fighters.

Re: Options for Jermain Taylor after his official starching?
 

I guess you are right, even though I haven't be able to find confirmation. But why did Calzaghes camp then offer Hopkins money, if they weren't promoting the fight?

Re: Options for Jermain Taylor after his official starching?
 

Taylor is a winner, as far as Im concerned Pavlik's an easy assignment compared to dethrowning the great Bernard Hopkins.

Re: Options for Jermain Taylor after his official starching?
 

Hopkins did not even consider it to the point of friendly premptive negotiations, but any serious offer to an American at that point and by American I mean one of the P4P ranked guys like Taylor or Hopkins would have been offered for a fight in MSG or Vegas.

This was publically known stuff.

Re: Options for Jermain Taylor after his official starching?
 

Ah, great logic, because A beats B, and B has a better legacy, he automatically beats C, even though C has a severe stylistic advantage that the better all around B did not.
