    Jermaine Taylor has a name, he still looks to be good after winning his last fight, he has the IBF middle weight title.

    I think this would be a good fight for Floyd if he wants a middle weight title fight if they either go with a catch weight or Floyd wants to go up in weight. All the other middle weight fighters are just too big and GGG is too hard of a puncher.

    I think cotto at middleweight would be better for Floyd, in terms of prestige, money and everything else.

    I remember reading somewhere cotto's fight night weight is only 6lbs higher at MW then it was at WW, ( I'm open to being corrected here)

    This version of Taylor is not a good opponent for Mayweather.

    Any version of Taylor is not good for floyd! Taylor is simply to big and to wide physically for Floyd to deal with .

    Dude....no. we've already seen floyd-cotto. who the fk wants to see that again? floyd-taylor is an intriguing match-up between two big names and floyd's potential foray into the middleweights that could set up a ggg fight, assuming ggg keeps winning.

    No way man. Taylor started sliding a long time ago, if Cory Spinks was boxing his ears off, Floyd would do just the same. Cotto-Canelo winner should unify with Taylor, then finally with GGG.

    wtf? why should floyd have to fight cotto and canelo again? he beat those guys already...aint nobody got time for some some boring-ass rematch with them guys. i'd prefer to see floyd-lara or floyd-bradley or garcia. fkin canelo and cotto tired a88.

    you're an idiot if you think floyd will ever go anywhere near triple G. he won't even fight pacman or other good fighters much less dangerous than golovkin.

    ggg is dangerous? based on what exactly?....beating curtis stevens and danny geale? ggg is nothing more than a good prospect...he's unproven. rubio is gonna hurt him and extend him so we can see what he's really made of..i think rubio will make ggg look like what he is...a guy with good power, decent skills with some flaws...ggg probably wouldn't want the floyd fight at this point if rubio beats him or makes hikm struggle.

    anyway, floyd would take ggg to school and probably stop him unless ggg bulked up to 170 on fight night night like floyd's latino oppenents tend to.

    pacman didn't flight floyd because pacman wouldn't take the PED test.

    I am sure if Floyd thinks he can beat Taylor the fight might happen
