Jermain Taylor Returns On Showtime Later This Year

His people had better be matching him with a club jobber, Clottey-type of heavybag, because without good defense & a chin, he's only in for more health-endangering shots.

 

Some guy said Hopkins will fight him next and that's starting to make more and more sense.

 

I hope Hopkins does not do the Ray Leonard thing of fighting only his old opponents. Ray would only fight Hearns and Duran in 1989 in rematches.

 

Sorry to hear this. I wish he'd retire for good and enjoy his life and money. Oh, well.

 

I don't even think Hopkins would fight him for big money....

he don't want no part of beating the man down at this point.

though...everyone might say...well...what about roy.

him and roy is biz and a bit personal...more about money than personal....
this will be a shocker.

 

JT man..he need more time off than that...probably at least 6 more months on top of that...he gonna come back to early...one of my favs but I know when a guy is done and he seems to be all but done

 

Jermain Taylor still has it. He just needs to let his body recover. People shouldn't right him off.

 

And Hopkins aint no knockout artist. Taylor might loose, no doubt, but not like he did to AA or Froch.

 

Taylor needs at least 3 or 4 years without losing to find his confidence again.

 

I'm writing him off. He'll always fall apart late vs a guy that can punch.

 

Which is not Hopkins. So why not take this fight? But then again, is Hopkins still signed with HBO?

 

Taylor's well past it, as of a couple of years ago. Unless he's having financial difficulty, he shouldn't be fighting at all. But if he DOES fight, it shouldn't be on Showtime, it should be on ESPN. The fact that he'll be appearing on Showtime just goes to show how many people still blindly, yet cruelly, support him.

 

I feel Taylor needs like a whole year away from the sport,or maybe even more ..He suffered 2 brutal stoppages
