    If he beats Soliman, do you think he'll be able to successfully defend it against any of the top 10?

    Wasn't Taylor in jail for shooting his cousin?

    I Sam isn't Ped'ed up or If Taylor isn't completely shot, he should win.

    I want to see Taylor vs Froch 2. Froch was damn near Ko'ed himself by Taylor.

    Taylor would die in the ring against Froch now, Taylor has nothing left Froch on the other hand still has quite a few matches left in him.

    If Soliman isn't juicing JT could win and then go on to defend it against a bum like Daniel Geale.

    Not against GGG obviously. Perhaps he can fight Sturm or Macklin or Geale. But even all of those would be 50-50

    I see Haymon and Taylor milking that title if they were to win it. Rebuild some of Taylors image for a big showdown with either Quillin, Jacobs or even Sergio Mora who is with Haymon.

    1 NOT RATED
    2 NOT RATED
    3 Martin Murray
    4 Felix Sturm
    5 David Lemieux
    6 Curtis Stevens
    7 Hassan N'Dam
    8 Billy Joe Saunders
    9 Peter Quillin
    10 Eamonn O'Kane
    11 Caleb Truax
    12 Sergio Mora
    13 Adam Etches
    14 Tureano Johnson
    15 Jermain Taylor

    Plenty of beatable guys if Taylor has anything left in that tank of his. (I would go for a fight with Martinez or Sturm).

    Even if Taylor can't attend because of legal issues, Haymon will still make sure he wins on the cards.

    The next ten contenders down the line in the IBF ratings:

    (actually #s 3-12, with the #1 and #2 spots vacant)

    Martin Murray - Taylor loses his title by decision.
    Felix Sturm - Taylor retains his title by decision.
    David Lemieux - Taylor retains his title by decision. (but a KO loss is possible)
    Curtis Stevens - Taylor retains his title by decision. (but a KO loss is possible)
    Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam - Taylor loses his title by decision.
    Billy Joe Saunders - Taylor loses his title by decision.
    Peter Quillin - Taylor loses his title by decision. (possibly KO)
    Eamonn O'Kane - Taylor retains his title by decision.
    Caleb Truax rematch - Taylor retains his title by decision.
    Sergio Mora - Taylor retains his title by decision or draw (or loses a SD)
