    Couldn't agree more. Jermain Taylor is a very talented fighter who went off the boil for a while after surviving 2 tough tough battles with a skilled ATG, and then ran into a bad opponent for him. It would have been perfectly acceptable for the ref to stop the 1st Pavlik fight in round 2, Pavlik was in a dire state. People forget that. People have forgotten Taylor's skills. He will show them against Lacy, I predict a shut-out UD.

    Not at all Jermain is still badass and performed 10 times better than Pavlik did against Hopkins. Jermain is young and has the talent to get to the top again.

    The man was the Undisputed Middleweight Champion of the world. How many fighters can say that? Taylor will handidly beat Lacy and then go on to fight a morecredible opponent such as Froch. He could possibly rule the 168 division.

    Lacy might prove everybody wrong ... but i doubt it

    I agree Jermain Taylor will emerge from the shadows

    I see Taylor being able to beat Lacy (easily) and Froch.
    Dont think he would beat Bute.
    Kessler is static so i'm not sure about that one.

    Given the recent performance of some of Steward's fighters, I wouldn't be so quick to put the blame on Taylor. He actually looked better in the Pavlik rematch when Steward was not in his corner. Sometimes a fighter and a trainer are just not a good mix; I think this was one of those instances.

    I think Taylor can still do some good work at 168. He should be able to beat Lacy, who struggled against Mendoza, and I would like to see him in against Froch.

    he really dissapoints me hes got all the skills to be an ATG, great speed, reflexes and throws nice punches. His problems are mental, he could have beat Pavlik both times IMO if he put it together

    I think this fight will be hard for Taylor, Lacy is big dude, Taylor should win becouse of his natural talent but I dont think it will be one sided fight.
