    Does he still have it to win the IBF Title from Soliman?

    well Taylor is +320 underdog, Soliman is sloppy, not a power puncher and doesn't have good foot work.

    Good to bet on Taylor.

    I'd say Soliman wins and if I go with a percentile chance, 65-75%.

    does either stand a chance of winning a defense? barring big time corruption.

    no you noob and cotto will unify that belt in 2015. jt is getting koed and retired for good. fighters who have more left then jermain taylor

    holyfield (retired)
    toney
    jones jr
    lacy

    there are a few more fighters that need to hang them up but jt is the wrose i seen in a while. worse then vargas come back fights, jt will get demolished by sam soliman.

    Yes, surely because if the fight is even remotely close JT will get the nod.
    It will give Haymon another belt to devide amongst his 2nd rate MW's

    Almost a decade ago Taylor upset Hopkins and won the lineal middleweight title. Taylor (assuming he gets passed both Soliman and Cotto) would wind up winning the middleweight lineal title a full decade later… What an amusing prospect.

    Definately.

    Taylor has only been beaten by big punchers, and Soliman is the furthest thing from.

    If Taylor can drag up 70% of what he once had for one last big fight, he can win this

    Ko'd.....by Sam Soliman????

    The guy is pretty much the Paulie Malignaggi of the MW scene!

    It's possible but I doubt he will.
