    Jermaine will be top 5 at 168 but won't be the dominate champion. Not as long as Abraham is lurking around.

    That is correct, we are nothing alike. I could not agree more.

    Your issue is you think people should be like you. I don't care what your avatar is. I'm not really concerned about it. If you want to play 'avatar police,' that is your business. I really could care less.

    As you said, we are very different. I am content to come and write what I do, and let people be who they are. You are not, apparently. And this is another in what is likely a long line of reasons why I will not be seeking to become like you, either.

    it's a pity you don't 'think' when you post and have to whine at people who don't agree with you.

    The judges have had more and more outrageous decisions,I thougth he lost with Winky altough I can see it a draw but he lost the first one to Hopkins.Anyway Pavlik K Taylor TFO and he is down to Lacy level now.

    He'll destroy Lacy. Thats clearly a comback fight.

    Sorry, Pimp. He can both be a class act and a fraud in terms of how he is presented to the boxing public. And he was a fraud, and he was exposed by his better, Kelly Pavlik. I'm sorry that doesn't work for your worldview or whatever. Go look up the phrase 'mutually exclusive.' 'Class act' and 'boxing fraud' are not mutually exclusive terms; these qualities can exist at the same time in one person. Taylor is just another example of this phenomenon -- good guy (some wouldn't agree with this assessment, but I'll give JT the benefit of the doubt here), but overrated.

    :hi::hi:

    Definetly winnable but I still think Arthur takes it. I would love to see it however, and I think it is one of the most intruging matchups that can be made today.

    I don't know if he will destroy Lacy but he will defeat him anyway I think.It will be interesting to see how he looks as a SMW,but he definetely won't be the champ at 168

    Yep, that also depends on where Pavlik lands after the Hopkins fight. If Pavlik goes to 168 that puts Taylor in a tough spot.

    i'll go along with that.

    taylor deserves a lot of respect for the level of opponent he's faced already in his career and beating hopkins twice (not matter how close the fights were) shows that he should never be taken lightly.

    i'd like to see abraham - taylor.

    He was presented as a young stud in the boxing world at 160. Until Pavlik came along he was just that.
