Re: Taylor wants Trinidad??? WTF?
WHY? It doesn't make sense considering Taylor needs to prove himself decisively in the current state of the middleweight division. He's not Roy Jones, Jr. or Bernard Hopkins so he can't just start thinking of other divisions or other insignificant fighters before he's cleaned out the division. It may work for Mayweather, but Taylor is no Mayweather either. I like Taylor for his charisma and boxing ethic, but his newly acquired agenda (focusing more on the money than a legacy) leaves something to be desired. Pavlik (a better option) or a possible rematch with Wright (less of an option given that Wright is also a known former junior middleweight fighter) is the only thing standing in his way of middleweight supremacy so why not dispense with those fight options and then move on to bigger and better things. Trinidad need not play himself because the only return to the ring anybody wants to see is against De La Hoya (Hopkins and Wright will always be too much for him) and we know De La Hoya is nothing at 160 lbs. (watch Sturm and Hopkins fights for proof) so that match-up is but a dream. I wanted Miranda to win, but Taylor needs to step up out of this 'I'm only chasing money and former junior middleweights' zone and work on the legacy given his ascension in the middleweight ranks from his win over Hopkins.
