Fair play to Taylor for last nights win....!!!
After his brain bleeding does he really want to go anywhere near someome as heavy handed as GGG?
Should Taylor even be fighting or allowed to?
Golovkin would destroy him Imo and I can see this fight happening as it will make a lot of dollar.
I seriously worry for Taylors health though and can see him getting seriously injured during or after - if this does happen.
Even if I loved boxing that much but I had a brain bleed I would hang up the gloves, health is miles more important than glory. He should pass on his knowledge and be involved with training younger fighters, but if he fought GGG you would have to worry. Why is he allowed to box after a serious injury like that? Its asking for problems.
GGG would demolish Taylor at this point. I'm surprised Taylor is boxing again, but then again what else is he going to do?
No, it wouldn't go 4 rounds. Not fair on Taylor who has only beat a one legged skippy. It answers no questions beyond that he can go 12.
I wonder if he'd fight Quillen...would be the same result though.
Taylor looked worn to me. If he fights GGG, he will suffer permanent and lasting damage. He will become vegetable soup!
He couldn't even put a one-legged guy away and none of those knockdowns were any thing to marvel at.
Taylor has to fight N'dam next, I doubt he gets through him.

I was really pulling for him last night and am real glad he won. He's one of the nice guys in the sport and he was well on his way of winning before Sam went lame. Jermaine over achieved last night but a man has got to know his limitations. Jermaine would fight anyone but he wont be fighting the Kazak. Taylor is the big fight that Kid Ovaltine must have been talking about.
I've read that Tom Loeffler said he would not put GGG in against Taylor because he didn't want to risk Taylor's health. The NJ commissioner came out and said they wouldn't have sanctioned him. Why do you think the fight was in Mississippi? Frankly, I would heavily criticize GGG, Quillin or even N'Dam for fighting Taylor after seeing last night's performance and knowing his health.
But, this all might be an afterthought if he's in jail. :-X
GGG would hurt Taylor and no one wants to see that.
Cotto v Taylor on the other hand...

The saddest thing is Taylor would still be the best opponent that Golovkin has faced.

GGG would kill him. Coma for sure. I hope it doesn't happen but with Taylor's desire to be great, it most likely will.
Best outcome Golovkins first punch is a monster body punch and taylor crumbles and is counted out...wouldn't want to tune in and watch
Considering he seems to have a physiological fear of white boys, I would assume the very mention of Golovkin brings him out in a cold sweat.
Again... Taylor would be the best opponent and most dangerous Golovkin has faced.
Disagree. Prime Taylor yes. This Taylor? Not so much. Geale was solid. Good all around fighter who was in his prime. That was a good win. Geale is better than this Taylor by far. There aren't any challengers to GGG at 160. I still want him to clean out the division and then move up to fight Ward. It's like when Floyd was at 130. Chico was a threat and they had some decent challengers. It was good to see Floyd go through pretty much everyone who would fight him before moving up.Quote:

Without sounding morbid let's hope (as someone else did earlier) that Golovkin folds him in half with a body shot and he stays down.
It still baffles me that if a fighter has any sign of or previous injuries to the brain that they are allowed to fight anywhere. :o
One whiff of Brain trauma and that should be it - no more fights!

Taylor would go after him at least ;)
This would be the one fight I think I would ever avoid watching of GGG because I would be afraid I would watch another Mancini vs. Duk-Koo. Would be afraid for Taylor's life in the Ring!
Taylor needs to stay away from hard punching white guys. Taylor should be spoon fed with blown up Junior Middleweights and feather fisted punchers to preserve his career. Mora vs Taylor would be a safe way to go on ESPN. On the other hand if I was an advisor to Ryota Murata I would be all over Taylor for a fight with him in Japan.
When anyone he fights feels GGG's power they get scared. It's called survival instinct. Taylor won't come at him after he feels his power. That will be the end of the fight. Taylor is done.Quote:

Geale was the #2 middleweight in the world.
Until Taylor beat poor Soliman, Taylor wasn't even ranked in the top 10.
I think Curtis Stevens would short circuit Jermain inside a few rounds.
Geale would probably lose to Soliman.Quote:

Put Taylor in with Danny Jacobs. Jacobs needs some refining because he was swinging a little big and sloppy last time out. Taylor still has his jab so that could calm jacobs down a little and make it interesting. Not quite a crossroads fight but in the least, its a changing of the guard and Taylor couldn't lose to a nicer guy.
Jermain Taylor right now reminds me of Meldrick Taylor back when he was making his first comeback. He eked through a couple of decent wins, but he looked and acted different than he did prior to the first Chavez fight. He managed to get the rematch with Chavez shortly after and paid the price. Jermain is the same. He will be slurring his speech, walking on his heels and acting irrationally in the next 5-10 years. You can already see the signs in his looks, demeanor and speech. Sucks to see him go this way because he seemed like a genuinely good guy.
Geale wouldn't.Quote:

Taylor would if Soliman had two good legs.
