Well,I think a fight with Taylor would have been excellent for his legacy too and it was a far more winnable fight than a fight with B Hop at a new weight where he most likely would not fight again. At his age,what 34,packing on the weight, then losing it,it's not smart. He should have rematched JT at 160.

Even if I did agree with you, who exactly would there be to fight? The winner of JT and Pavlik, which could mean he would fight JT again, making his move to not rematch him instantly look even more foolish. BTW,IF Pavlik wins and Winky fights Pavlik, we have a SIG bet,deal? I'm taking Kelly via stoppage.
Sure we have a sig bet. I'll take Winky every time. Actually you are probably right about the JT rematch. But you can understand the bitterness that Winky probably experienced. I'm not sure how good the money was with a JT re-match?? On that I really am ignorant if it would have fetched more $$ than the B-Hop fight.
