What did Jermain Taylor do to deserve a middleweight title shot?

Nothing.

Having to "earn" a title shot went out of fashion years ago.

 

A young hungry lion as Jermain doesn't need to deverve it as the old and established champion Soliman is kind enough to give him a shot.

 

all u got to do is be a champ before and u get a shot

i heard jermain had bleeding in the brain after the abraham fight and now hes getting another title shot

Nothing just shows you how much a farce it is.

 

I haven't been following his situation. I thought he was in serious legal problems?

 

Meh, shot some guy.

Nothing to write home about.

 

lol

 

He has a name. If he was under Top Rank he would be someone's legacy fight.

 

He's an american ex-title holder that entitles him to a title shot when he wants one

 

He beat a alien twice.

 

You seem so bitter. He did more than Calzaghe whe he got his first shot.

 

I thought you meant the first time around when he fought Bhop after beating a nobody in edouard and ancient joppy

Titles in ways have become lifetime achievement awards I mean look how paper

Sakio Bikas belt was

Lovemore Ndou

Erik Morales at 140

In a 4 title system if you hang around one weight for many yrs eventually you'll get rewarded

 

In recent years what has anyone done to deserve a shot at the IBF middleweight title? Just look at the bums who have contested it and held it over the last few years

Soliman - bum
Sturm - bum
Barker - bum
Geale - bum
Sylvester - bum

It's a joke
