Will J. Taylor Ever be Defeated @ MW or SMW??

I say no...There is no one in the MW or SMW class that can or will beat Taylor. He will reign as the MW/SMW king for a long time...Much like Hopkin did.. Neither Taylor or Hopkins have ever fought at SMW yet. Way too premature to talk about either of them as being "kings" there. As for Taylors chances - First of all there's a good chance he loses to Pavlik. Regardless he should not be considered a favourite against ANY top 5 SMW. Certainly not against Calzaghe or Kessler. Taylors best chance at quick succes at SMW is a guy like Berrio. But if Bute get's there first, i don't rate Taylors chances at all. Let's see some proof before crediting anyone with the ability to just walk in and take over the SMW division. Haven't been done like that in quite a while. I think there's more than just financial reasons Hopkins chose to totally pass it over. Too much risk at SMW compared to the possible reward. Whereas Tarver was as ripe as possibly imaginable. EVERYONE from MW to LHW were trying to land a fight with Tarver for that reason.

Taylor might face Roy Jones if Cal beats Kessler.

umm... DUH!!! this saturday...

this is how i see it.now hear me out fellas!if jermaine gets past pavlik, and tito gets by roy jones i see that fight happening.i think it'll be hopkins vs calzaghe so i don't think joe is fighting taylor.

If you go to BEFORE the taylor fights hopkins did not seem to have many fans. If anything, getting the shaft in their first fight bought him fans. You have die-hard fans and you have fans...Hopkins had both on here playa, I'm sure...Die-hards post on every thread..Fans just sit back and watch their fighter go to work..

How did you test my Theory?? Hopkins having 3 fans are so is crap...Everyone loves that guy..That the reason he threw 1 punch per round and people still felt he won BOTH fights..

Spinks's is no one favorite fighter (with the possible exception of one of the best posters in this forum, SpinksJinks). At the time Hopkins' was the favorite fighter of 3 people or so. So your theory does not quite work. How did you test my Theory??

According to most, Hopkins, Winky & Spinks all beat him...Yet, the judges thought otherwise...The boy is winning fights and people can't stand their favorite fighters getting beat by him...

Really won't have to wait long for this one to happen. Countdown is on.

Calzaghe......would give him a good hiding... and Taylors already lost a couple of fights..His record flatters his ability..

Its funny how people really believe that Pavlik is going to beat Taylor. Pavlik is going to get the crap beat out of him by a focused J. Taylor..Pavlik is good but Taylor is on the verge of being great.....Who will be the next hype after he beats the crap out of Pavlik?? Miranda..lolol..

Meaning he avoids giving counterpunching opportunities to his opponents because he doesn't wing punches. Ok now I understand...

I say no...There is no one in the MW or SMW class that can or will beat Taylor. He will reign as the MW/SMW king for a long time...Much like Hopkin did.. Yes he will be beaten next weekend IMO.....and has lost twice already in Hopkins I and against Winky.....but thats just the way I saw it....but many would agree.

"too much technique" Give me a break dude.... Meaning he avoids giving counterpunching opportunities to his opponents because he doesn't wing punches.

Taylor will go undefeated for the rest of his career because he is a flawless fighter that has NO weaknesses. Unlike other fighters, Taylor actually finishes his fights and leaves it out of the judges hands. Along with Floyd, he is the most exciting fighter on the planet. I know thisis probably sarcasm. This is some funny shit. GOOD POST!!!!!!!! He does remind me a lot of Floyd as well.

I say no...There is no one in the MW or SMW class that can or will beat Taylor. He will reign as the MW/SMW king for a long time...Much like Hopkin did.. Hes getting beaten this saturday... so unless he retires on friday, he's not retiring undefeated

Calzaghe would kick Taylor's ass I would think. Too much stamina, too much handspeed, too much technique... Taylor wouldn't have enough openings to keep up. "too much technique" Give me a break dude....

Calzaghe would kick Taylor's ass I would think. Too much stamina, too much handspeed, too much technique... Taylor wouldn't have enough openings to keep up. This is an easy pick. Taylor would be dumbfounded. Vanes, I do agree Abraham is maybe a notch above Taylor, but it's not a great matchup for Abraham. If Pavlik ends up with the title though I could see Abraham bveating Pavlik

His 0 will go either this Saturday or against the Kessler-Calzaghe winner.
