They both recently fought and defeated Jeff Lacy.
Who wins if they were to fight each other, present time?
This would be the matchup of the most matched up characters in Fight Night Round 3 online! Taylor vs. Jones was very common online, in my experiences.
Taylor by close decision.
Since his knockouts, Jones mentally folds against guys who can lay hands on him (see Calzaghe).
Taylor is not Lacy, Sheika, or Hanshaw and would be able to land on Jones.
I actually think Jones can win this fight, Jones likes to dictate pace, Taylor doesn't fight at a high pace because of his stamina, Jones likes to fight on the outside, Taylor does as well but Jones' hands are still quicker than Taylor's and he can probably get off first on Taylor. Taylor would have success stepping in with his jab but I think Jones can outjab him as well if he decides to do so. Jones by decision.
Man Pavlik KO'ed Taylor with the ol "1-2 Jab Right hand" time after time, minute after minute, round after round....he couldnt Stop that..... Roy would be too fast and too smart for Taylor, Taylor keeps his hands down, sub par defense and is a sucker for a right hand & body shot. Taylor hasnt KO'ed someone since 2005 @ MW, he couldnt KO Spinks a WW/JMW, yet he would KO RJJ @ SMW or LHW?:oops:
IDK maybe Taylor has displayed a variety of stamina, discipline & skill that i've missed.....................:boxing:
Pavlik wasnt afriad to get hit. Roy is. Pavlik can take a punch. Roy cant.
Hard to say, Taylor is a good technical boxer puncher, but not a knockout puncher. He would give Jones a good deal of trouble, although Roy is still fairly crafty.
I would say Taylor SD, because Roy could finish up stronger.
Jermain Taylor is one of my favorite fighters
but Roy's speed alone would be too much for jermain....
Jermaine is a fast mofo himslef. However the guy is shot.
The rejuvenated Roy from Saturday night can beat alot of people, including Jermain Taylor. Jermain isn't an easy night for anybody, but I think Roy might get a stoppage victory. He might just be a little too big and strong for Taylor. Here's hoping the fight never happens...
