Bika's got the IBO SMW belt -yes, a joke, but would be good for marketing him as an opponent for Taylor
Bika presents a solid test but very winnable match-up for Jermain
Most importantly... Bika is NOT best friends with Jermain, thus we could see if Jermain is really just a good, generous friend, or if he's really lost his killer instinct
Thoughts?
Lacy-Taylor was an eliminator for the Froch/Pascal winner, who will have the vacant WBC belt.
hm wonder why I kept thinking it was for the WBO.
Id rather Taylor just skip these tune ups and fight Kessler, muahahahah.
...if Kessler ever fights anyone worthwhile again.
HBO hyping a fight with Joe seems odd. Considering Taylor a few years later, beat a worser Lacy than Joe did. And is now looking to face one or two other guys Joe has already beaten.
Bika is ok, tough but not clever or tight enough to out point Taylor. I can't see Jerman getting caught too many times either, so a reasonably clear win for Taylor. Goodish fight.
I think Taylor is going to fight Inkin, Lacy-Taylor was an eliminator, right?

It would be an excellent test for Jermain. In this fight we would see if he sticks to boxing and his jab or fall into his old bad habbits and start to wing more. I think this fight would be fire works.
bika sucks lets be honest...he just throws wild punchesmaybe, but rough fighters like him can really irritate some of the best fighters. he gave Calzaghe quite a bit of trouble in the later rounds, which not a ton of people have done.

A great potential match up. Bika is a fighter that gets better with age and has learned to use his power. Taylor would have problems with Mr. Contender.
Bika is not a guy anyone really wants to fight. That poor sap in my sig is an example of how hard it is to fight Bika.
Bika is limited, but he is so wild he can turn any fight into a scary one. He rushes in with his head and arms flailing. He is a good stamina test for anyone.
He is not a walk in the park for anyone either. He is strong, awkward and can make the most composed fighter, fight his fight.
damn that sig of the Pretender is hilarious

LOL. Valid pick I suppose, but seriously?
haha. kind of joking. the only serious prediction i would make on that fight is that it would be ugly. jt is too unpredictable to make a prediction on. i thought he would have ko'd spinks, ouma, and lacy, but shit, what do i know....
Would be an interesting fight. Both guys throw wide punches. Bika all the time and Taylor when the situation gets hairy. I think Jermain would win, but I think he's looking for bigger fights.
