roy jones vs jermaine taylor

This is just another example of Taylor ducking opponents he's trying to avoid any fights with real middleweight guys in their prime so he fights Jr. Middleweights and now a shot Jones Jr. Taylor starts where Hopkins left haha

Roy is "semi-shot",but if he fought an incredibly cautious fight,I could see him pulling off a UD.He still has speed & ring smarts.

I will not pay for this fight. It'd better be free on HBO and not like that shit fight Roy had against the Badi guy. Just a nice paycheck against a name guy for Taylor. Hopefully he will retire Roy though.

Roy Jones was considered P4P #1 for many years. He had a bad run with Tarver and Johnson - however I do think he looked impressive in his last fight and could still beat most people out there from 175 down. Saying that Jermain Taylor is becoming one the most disrespected champions for choosing to fight Roy Jones is a very unfair statement. Hopkins Twice, Winky Wright, Kassim Ouma Besides Manny Pacqiauo, I can't think of a champion with a better list of recent opponents then that... Can't think of one that evens comes close to that...

its not physical tho its all in his head.. his speed was blinding against adjamu Yes his handspeed was great, but that's the last speed to go. His footspeed and movement has slowed significantly, that and he doesn't put combinations together while hopping around like he used too. Now it's "bodyshot, move and faint a little, flick out a jab, faint some more and bodyshot again".

Good point about Ouma, but Roy could only be worse since his last fight. I just don't understand how some people can think that Roy isn't that shot, watch his wins against Woods, Ruiz, Toney etc. then watch his fights with Tarver, Johnson and Ajamu. Night and day difference. its not physical tho its all in his head.. his speed was blinding against adjamu

Taylor couldnt knock out little Ouma and hasnt scored a KO in over 2 years. He may beat Roy Jones, but he aint gonna knock him out. another boring safe fight for Taylor. Taylor is quickly becoming the least respected champion in boxing. Good point about Ouma, but Roy could only be worse since his last fight.

This fight woln't happen...a 38 year old shot to hell Roy Jones vs the reigning middleweight world champion? I don't buy it. Also, I love Roy but he'd get KTFO.

Who is Roy Jones supposed to be fighting next? Before he fights Taylor or if he fights Taylor at all

Yeah why does this fight need to happen. Jones is not near the level he used to be. Just like kayjay mentioned earlier there is a lot better matchups for Taylor. I want to see who the best fighters from 160 to 168 are. That can only happen if Taylors fights the men that were mentioned earlier.

This is a nightmare. Taylor has these guys to fight: Calzaghe, Kessler, Wright, Abraham, Pavlik, Miranda. Roy Jones is just a name in the way. Im a huge jt fan but i think all of those guys could beat him espeacially miranda. My humble opinion of course

pRIME FOR PRIME ROY WOULD WIN EASY

The only thing that's shot about Roy is his footwork, he won't need that against Taylor.. Roy's going to win by decision. But the fight can't happen at 168, Roy struggles to make 175, he can't make 168 and I can't see Taylor going up to 175. he just doesnt seem the same fighter to me,since he took those beatings,i dont think he has fully recovered although he does still think he is the king

Jones still has the speed and reflexes to make it interesting. Its not hard to time when Taylor is going to throw and Roy still has a punchers chance at middleweight. Peace

a prime jones would kill taylor,but the jones of today gets knocked the fuck out

according to an interview on ********** if they both win there next fight this fight is a done deal... i think roy would kill taylor jones cant take a shot period. he ends up on his back with the eyes rolled to the back of his head (again)

from what i heard roy say before.. its still more his natural weight.. it seems like he been targeting all 168 pounders .. he wanted manfredo calzaghe and shieka..
