Jermain Taylor vs Sam Soliman?

I'm picking Soliman in this one. The last time Taylor fought at Middleweight was in 2007.

 

The Banana Republic of Ireland. :-(

 

Wow you must be some kind of boxing genius to have figured out Taylor loses this!

So while you're on a roll, where do you think the sun will rise tomorrow. I'm going with EAST for the sun and Soliman in the fight!

 

Taylor should not be allowed to fight after his brain injury

 

why so anti-US?

 

one hundred percent :good

 

I find that US posters continually harken back to the days when USA ruled the boxing world.
Most of them completely fail to give credit to foreign boxers, who today dominate. nor will they accept that the sun has largely set on US boxing.
The rest of the world has caught up and passed America out.

I don't judge based on nationality at all. (For example my opinion on the state of affairs in my own country would be unprintable!). I treat as I find.

By the way I admire your posts. You are an excellent poster.

 

Who? As in what "sporting authority" is permitting him to fight? Someone is responsible here, he must have "passed"some kind of test, hold some kind of licence etc.
The buck stops somewhere.

 

I appreciate the props, thankyou :good
I imagine I get more critics

to a point I agree with you, and I definitely don't think boxing needs the US to be relevant
but I do think it's relevant on many levels (but HW is not one of them)

 

If Taylor has 60-70% of what he had in his prime, then he can beat Soliman

 

^This. All of Taylor's losses come when he gets completely severed from his senses and either crumples or crashes to the deck. Taylor's insistence on continuing his boxing career is courting disaster.

 

He doesn't. :-(

 

The fights where he crumpled were all against huge punchers.

Soliman is probably the most feather fisted MW champ of all time.

 

Yes, being knocked out brutally by multiple huge punchers does damage to you... It doesn't prevent you from being knocked out by lesser punchers in the future, the opposite actually :roll:

 

I don't think much of Soliman the PED Cheat, but I would actually be surprised if Taylor somehow manages to defeat him.
