    so if they fight in the fall, does that mean Taylor is moving up to 175? I'd really like to see Taylor vs Tarver.



    I wish we could have seen Taylor Wright 2 though.

          Taylor going up to 175 isn't believable...but who knows. That'd be some crazy **** if he fought Jones, beat him, and then took on Chad Dawson.

          The proposed Codrington/Stevens - Ward fights sound good though.

            Taylor-Jones would probably be at 168, Jones would have to move down.

                Jones should give it up. The last thing he needs is to try and get down to a weight that he hasnt made for 11 years. Anyone think he wants to fight people with less of a punch in case he gets stretched again?

                  "NoSKill" Taylor should fight the real champion Joe Calzaghe and not this old and shot roids-sucker Jones Jr.

                    Jones won't make 168.

                    Calzaghe wants Taylor at that weight anyhow, why would Taylor pick Jones over Calzaghe? Less money, less entertaining.
