Jermain is moving to super-middleweight which is confirmed and I was wondering how do you see him doing there with Calzaghe, Froch, Bute, Miranda, Andrade, Kessler etc and can he grab a strap again ??

Re: How do you see Jermain Taylor doing now at super-middle ??
Well I don't think Calzaghe is much of a factor anymore. I don't think Froch has any success once he decides to step up. I would love to see him and Andrade. It's a fairly deep division with no clear set number 1 and I think Taylor is going to step in and I would rate him as the favorite to take this division.
I would love to see him and Kessler go at it. I would give Taylor the edge in that one but certainly one I would love to see. Bute has looked good at times then looked bad. He is versatile but not sure how good he is yet.
I do know this though.
I think 168 could be Taylor's division. He has the skills to take it and I've never liked the extreme amount of criticism he has taken, I thought people were to harsh on him. Calzaghe looked no better against Hopkins then Taylor did yet Taylor got CRUSHED over those fights then for a few fights after that.

You guys will laugh at me, but I think he will be the man to beat there.

Taylor could be the best but could he beat Kessler or even Froch those would be good fights. He has enough to be a champ but I would love him to fight Miranda.
Cunt of a Mod. Fact.

I think Taylor lost it a bit upstairs (for boxing).
He'll never be any easy fight for anyone, but I don't see him doing much in boxing anymore.
Taylor vs Lacy. That would be fun.

You said it. Everytime I talk about Lacy people tend to think I'm delusional because I still feel he can become something. So as hard as it was to resist, didn't mention him in this topic. But you hit the nail on the head here. I've been wanting since they were both prospects from that 04 US amateur class.Originally Posted by Fenster
And yes, that would be very fun and I have no idea who wins, would tip Taylor but that would be a great fight that could get them both going on the right track no matter how the fight turns out. Great fight I really hope we see that one day when they're not old.

amat - sorry pal, went to send you a PM on dzindiruk but wont allow me to do so until my post count reaches 30
I honestly think taylor is tailor made (no pun intended) for SM and possibly even LH, His style will be much more suited fighting at a slightly slower pace and his ability to counter punch will be far more effective.
Lacy seems a different fighter ever since he got out boxed by calzaghe, now fights with a much more tentative approach than before and seems to of lost that confidence.
Also 2 fights in 2 years?? the guy is pushing 30 has no world titles to his name nor has he beaten any names!!
Taylor every day of the week wins this one for me!!

Personally, I think with Calzaghe almost certain to be getting rid of his belts pretty soon, so there's going to beplenty of opportunities to get a hold of one. If Taylor can get a decent win over someone half decent in the division and talk the good talk, then I see no reason for him not to be in contention for one of the vacant titles.
He's not exactly Arturo Gatti when it comes to excitement, but he'll do fine in the division I'm sure.

I agree! I think Taylor looked the best he ever has in the rematch against Pavlik. Was boxing beautifully, using great jab and intelligent feints and head movement. I think the best is still to come of Taylor (I hope so too)

Is that guy still alive?! Cause I completely doubt that!! If he is, he has to be a vegetable...Well I don't think Calzaghe is much of a factor anymore.

...REP for making me jump up from a lying down position!
I absolutely agree! The slower pace will suit Taylor. Plus, the doesn't have to maintain a lower weight because he's been complaining about making 160 so hopefully his stamina will increase.amat - sorry pal, went to send you a PM on dzindiruk but wont allow me to do so until my post count reaches 30

Pavlik isn't exactly a normal fighter either. I see Pavlik being very dangerous up to Light Heavy and if Taylor can hang in there with him, people in Super Middle won't seem so bad...

I think Taylor will do quite well at SMW. Discounting Calzaghe, because he's only going to chase the big money fights, I'd favor Taylor against everyone Lefty mentioned except Kessler and maybe Bute. I think he'd handle Froch, Miranda, Andrade (that fight would look like Kessler-Andrade IMO), Lacy, etc.

i hope he does well, he deserves it.
Re: How do you see Jermain Taylor doing now at super-middle ??
I think Taylor will do very well at SMW.
He just has to maintain space and work on his defense...he gets in trouble when he lets the other fighter in close.

I think his style could bother Kessler honestly. Kessler's at his best with a come forward guy like Andrade but to be fair he did pretty well against Mundine too.
I'd like to see him fight Andrade. I don't think his people would be that interested in it but it would be interesting to see how he held up against Andrade's pressure, physically and mentally.
Bute over Berrio is just nasty. That's gotta be one of the most vicious things I've seen since Mercer/Morrison. Too bad Bute doesn't really hit as hard as he looks there.

I would like to see him face Mundine.
