    Edison Miranda
    Kelly Pavlik
    Winky Wright (only this low because it won't happen until after the B-Hop fight)
    Jeff Lacy ( would love to see the fight even if it means nothing)
    I think JT beats Arthur with ease, JT would be too fast and wouldn't allow Arthur to get off his shots.
    I think JT has some trouble with Miranda as he wouldn't be able to push him around but his jab would be the key to a victory.
    I think JT blows right past Pavlik with flying colors.
    I think Winky does it again BUT this time more convingcingly
    I think JTs tooo skilled for Lacy and would just frustrate him all the way through

    We see eye to eye on everything except Winky - Taylor. I felt Taylor won that match by several rounds . However I do think Taylor has looked lazy lately in his matches. He forgetting how he got there. A by product of that is loss ! So you might be spot on in a theoretical Wright - Taylor rematch ! Excellent insight mate. Enjoyed your read ! Cool Click # 1225

    I couldn't agree more. I have not been impressed with Pavlik at all. He has gaping holes in his game, and I think Taylor would destroy him.
    You and me both SweetPea, nothing against the guy IF he had/has been showing me something to get a theory that hes got shot at JT but I ain't seen nothing that would lead me to think Pavlik can take on JT.

    You know Abraham was my prospect when he was moving up in the rankings I really thought he was gonna develop and mix things up but honestly I see the same Abraham over and over, who waits too long and tends to fight and the rythim he is dictated instead of him dictating the pace.... Anyone who can keep busy against him (Miranda got a bit lazy IMO and just wasn't in the fight he let the dirty fighting get the best of him) will beat him I thought by the Jantuah fight surely I'd see something different but no same thing....

    About Winky abd JT well those are 2 of the best around so it's really up in the air for grabs....

    will have another chance Mora?
    he has a name now after the show, when he lost 1 or 2 fights...
    There are guys waiting an entire life for this chance.

    To be honest it might have been a sensible decision on Mora's part. It seems like most guys here are hating on him but he's had less than 20 fights and probably doesn't feel ready for that huge step up in class yet.

    To be honest I was more annoyed with Taylor for choosing to fight him in the first place than I am with mora pulling out.

    But now Taylor wants to fight Cory Spinks?

    Man he must want to get a knockout real bad

    I dont understand some of these guys. Taylor is the champ and he gives Mora a shot. Now Mora doesnt want to fight him near Taylors Hometown?? Hes nice enough to even give him a shot and the champion can defend his belt wherever the fu%k he wants. Mora is in no position to call shots. Who did he ever fight

    It was a good decision by Mora to pull out, there wasnt any way that he was going to win that fight. Mora isnt going to be able to hurt JT so the only way to win would be by decision. With the fight being in JT's backyard no way that was going to happen. I havent been to impressed by JT lately, and I thought Mora would be able to give him problems.

    JT picking Spinks to fight next is just crap! What happened to JT?? Wasnt he the one saying that he wanted to fight only the best? Spinks is not the best not at 160 or 154. I wanna see JT unify the titles again, anything else is a let down.

    A second fight with Winky, or a move up to 168 for Joe C or Kessler would not be a let down. Screw the alphabelts.

    That is true I was thinking more along the lines if he was going to continue fighting at "160". Winky would be the only acceptable fight at that weight.

    Considering JT's last few fights before Ouma I don't blame him for taking a break. Sure, I don't hold him in as high of a regard, but I certainly can't fault him for taking a break. Hell, Ouma was more of a challenge than anyone expected.

    And I thougth Ouma and Spinks were about to get it on.
    Oops

    How about this, how about Miranda and Pavlik fight on the undercard to fight the winner of the Jermain Taylor vs (whoever) for their next fight.
    Pavlik doesnt deserve Taylor, but Miranda does. But Id be more than happy to give him one more 'easy' fight and than take on the winner of Miranda vs Pavlik. I just dont think he will ever fight Miranda...
    Jermain got the tools to trouble Miranda, especially in that good jab.
    He hasnt flashed that Jab consistently or effectively since the Joppy fight

    Does he think he's going to get another chance like this? He's a second-rate fighter who got some publicity because of a TV show and was therefore lucky enough to get a title shot and the biggest paycheck of his life.
    Yeah thats excatly what i thought. As if it would make a difference where it was faught he would get spanked anyway. Least he'd pick up a big paycheck, but i spose he will go back to padding his record out with no ones.

    I agree with the Hobbit!!!!
    Why is Taylor looking down in weight classes? Why not up? The hottest guy right now is Miranda. Spinks shouldn't even be on the radar. Pick on someone your own size J.T.
