    yeah i'd like to see him build his confidence up. he looked pretty good. pat burns the right coach for him. saw some nice body work from jt, left hooks, and of course what is a taylor fight without that beautiful jab.

    Actually Manfredo would have pushed Jermain around a little bit, theres no sense in putting him in against a top dog at this point so just build him up against guys like Mora (who isnt easy to look good against but Jermain has a big size advantage and it would clock some rounds in) and then take on Vera.

    After that I wouldnt say no to a shot against Andy Lee or even better the winner of Ishida-Williams, I know that fight would gather some interest

    I went with Mora. Although Brian Vera would be a good opponent aswell, guaranteed to give him rounds also.

    I voted Vera but McEwan could also be a good scrap to build confidence and should him some good rounds.

    The fight may sell, but I don't think there would be much intrigue from hard core fans. It would be unnecessary.

    Taylor against Andy Lee would be a good fight and Andy is looking for a dance partner for DiBellas big St Patricks day card,Huge exposure and a possible shot at the title if he beats Lee on tv.
    Also there is supposed to be abit of history about the sparring in the kronk when Taylor was told he was the champion of the world but Lee was the champion of the gym.

    THe first fight would be the selling point because of the drama, the second fight was nowhere near as exciting and a 3rd would be an Alcoholic Vs a Potentially brain damaged man . . . . if this is a fight youd like to see kindly go shoot yourself

    No JT still needs a couple more wins before any title contention or better fighters. He will not do well until he stops that serpentine rhythm movement and low hand position. I agree with Antonio Tarver that he needs to straighten the right hand for more power. A good fight tonight to build confidence. Do not agree with the stoppage as that kind could psychologically damage. The only way Taylor gets a big fight is if someone needs a named fighter. But it looks like they are going to bring him on a good calculated schedule.

    I picked Sturm. But a fight with Andy Lee makes more sense.
