    He will get destroyed by any top MW at this point. The guy's punch resistance is Zero.

    I wouldnt mind seeing Jermain Taylor take this career path

    Elvin Ayala - 25 - 5 - 1 (11 KO) - Current WBC USA Middleweight Champion

    has been stopped by guys like Abraham and Lemiux, seems a decent opposition for Taylor at this present time. could be another stoppage win for Taylor if he lands right.

    Kerry Hope - 17 - 3 (1 KO) - Current European Middleweight Champion

    Coming off a great upset win over top 10 rated Grezgorz Proksa, win or lose in the rematch it would be an ideal fight for Jermain Taylor as Hope isnt known for being a big puncher only stopping one of his 20 opponents.

    Nobuhiro Ishida - 24 - 7 - 2 (9 KO)

    Again not a big puncher although he is a recognizable name having stopped James Kirkland in a round, losing his last fight however to Paul Williams by way of decision.

    Paul Williams - 41 - 2 (27 KO) - Current WBC Silver Middleweight Champion

    Recently was involved in boxings biggest robberies, Williams was just outmatched by cuban counterpuncher Esrindsy Lara (coincidentally who fought on tonights undercard) but came back to win against the for mentioned Ishida. truely a crossroads fight for both former champions, could make for an exciting fights due to their similar style of fighting

    Peter Quillin - 26 - 0 (20 KO)

    Quillin is an up and coming star in the middleweight division and is scheduled to fight Ronald Wright later on this year in june. honestly I see Quillin feasting on other big names like Williams and hopefully he should be big enough of a name by the time this fight could be made for Taylor to cash out on, although id rather not see Taylor in with someone who can punch id also like to see him get one last paycheck so he doesnt have the delusion that he can still continue fighting and take this kind of punishment.

    The super 6 took alot out of every one Dirrell, Taylor , Froch (that might be due to him having a child) all dont seem the same.

    Paul Williams work rate would simply be too much for the version of JT and sadly I could actually see Pdub stopping him.

    Well, if Kelly is actually on the wagon, which I doubt, his tolerance could be down.

    He was a stutterer as a kid. That's how he's always talked/always looked.

    Anyway, sad night here in LR. Not much else to say.

    Well like i said its a crossroads fight, Taylor has been knocked out 3 times (although he kept saying he was knocked out 4 times :huh) but Williams for me doesnt have the confidence let alone the power at 160 to stop Taylor.

    Possible UD for Williams but I think sometimes a fighter fights at the level or pace of his opponent. Taylor wasnt incredibly active (or accurate) tonight but I think if Williams puts on the pressure then Taylor will respond.

    I see Taylor picking up a UD over Williams, in all due respect Williams is so arrogant he refuses to change his game plan whilst Taylors trainer is insisting on picking up that lead hand, this could be the key in the fight.

    then again it all depends on how many rounds this fight is set at, the shorter the fight is, the better for Taylor (most likely be a 12 round seeing as Williams has a trinket)

    Yeah I have heard him speak many times, but his voice is not the same as it used to be. Its more slured i think. And his facial exspresions are not the same either looked like he had a mask on tonight to me. His coordination has also been effected by his brain damage.
