How do you see Jermain Taylor doing now at super-middle ??

[LondonBB]

I think taylor will do well at super middle. I think he can get hold of a belt at least.

I dont think he appeals to calzaghe to fight him because calzaghe can command a much higher paid fight with a fighter like pavlik or jones for his last say 2 fights. If they fought then id say calzaghe would beat taylor.

Taylor would probably take out bute imo.

Hed do well against andrade and mundine aswell, id say hed beat them both.

The hardest opponent would be against kessler. If kessler brings his best game then i think kessler will beat taylor. I think kessler is a better all round fighter. Kessler could handle most fighters out there tbh, its just that calzaghe had too much ring craft and can adapt to anyone in the ring which made him almost impossible for kessler to beat. But against taylor it would be a very evenly fought match but id say kessler wins.

I think that when calzaghe gives up his belts and retires after he beats jones and pavlik, then it will be upto taylor and kessler to battle out for top spot at super middle.

HOWEVER!!! Supermiddle might become very VERY interesting in the next couple of years.

Look at it this way:

Calzaghe beats jones at light heavy and then has one last fight with pavlik at super middle in a title defence. He casts aside pavlik and then retires undefeated. BUT this leaves pavlik at super middle aswell, afterall pavlik has done everything he can at middle weight (providing he beats lockett and abraham which i think he will). He will have fougt calzaghe at super middle and lost, this leaves him stranded at super middle. He is still young so he surely will carry on boxing?

We might be seeing pavlik, miranda, taylor, bute, andrade, mundine and kessler all in THE SAME DIVISION AT THE SAME TIME!!!

This would make for a very exciting division, surely everyone must agree?

Jeremaine Taylor can do as well as he wants at Super Midleweight.
His otential is virtually limitless if he remedies his Zab Judah syndrome.

I agree with that and would like to add that Pavlik has shown the others how to beat Taylor with constant pressure and hard punching power, Kessler has the tools to do the job, would be a very close fight if Taylors mentally tough on the night.

I personally don't see Joe beat Pavlik. Yea Joe has an amazing work rate but Pavlik's work rate is just as active but the difference is, Pavlik's punches HURT! I don't think Joe has ever encountered a fighter like Pavlik. It would be a great fight, but Pavlik wins by late KO IMO.

But I agree on Joe beating Jones...
