    The Mora thing was a complete joke. Spinks to me is much more respectable.
    The people who are losing respect for Taylor are the same Hopkins nut-huggers that never liked Taylor. This is boxing they want to make these big fights when its the right time, now if Miranda beats Pavlik then we may see this fight!
    There is only one true belt holder and his name is Jermain Taylor!

      in amateurs the rules are different than in pro and the way of fighting is different. so you cant compare both of them Cotto was not good in ameatuer as he is as a pro. and visa versa
      How do you know how hard Hopkins punches??? Like I said I've seen more impressive knockout from Hopkins then I've seen from Miranda!

      Taylor was good in the amateurs and pro, my point was he's never been down, so I know the whole amateur scene, this was not about who's good in the amateurs or pro!

        Hopkins could KO Eastman but Miranda did it. as well as Joppy he got decent power but not the power to give a 1 shot KO

        as for Taylor even Miranda got a good amateurs but Taylor keeps himself open for punchs and that mistake is going to cost him dearly.

        dirty trick Taylor does in the fight is clinching. they way he does really make the other person lossess his stamina because he clinchs and lays his body on top of the shoulders of his oppenet.

          Hopkins is a defensive fighter first, so don't give me this crap about who knocked who out! I thought the Eastman fight should've not been stopped, I remember Eastman almost knocking Miranda out in the same fight!

          Stop listening to Larry Merchant and Manny Steward, Hopkins can punch if he wants to, why don't you post me the most impressive KO you've seen from Miranda and I will post 2 or more KO's from Hopkins that was more impressive!

          Taylor does not clinch, he only cliched a little against Ouma because Ouma scores most of his points with soft little inside punches, that's why Ouma throws over 1000 punches in every fight and Taylor did not allow Ouma to thow 1000 punches.

            I still got to think that a 26 year old Miranda has to have a lot more power than a 40 year old Hopkins. I dont think Taylor could handle the pressure and power, but I sure would like to find out.

              That would be a great night of boxing with Pavlik-Miranda on the undercard of Taylor-Spinks. Then if Miranda and Taylor wins what a match up that would be. Two physical specimins going at it. I like Miranda a lot and I think he would pressure Taylor like no one else has, but Taylor has been in big fights with Hopkins and Wright. If it went the distance Taylor would probably win unless he pulls an Allen Green and stays away the whole fight and gives away rounds. With Edison's power there's always a chance he could win.

He beat on a smaller man and couldn't even knock him out. He was gonna fight Sergio ****ing mora for gods sake. The ****ing Contender champion are you ****ing serious. He has yet to fight a legit middleweight that could punch. HBO wants him yo be the next big thing like an Oscar being that he is on his way out, I just don't see him being that guy. i think he could be in a lot of trouble against a hard punching middleweight.

                I think he needs to face a guy like Miranda to get the respect many people have lost for him not fighting guys his own size with power. Almost everyone is upset about him fighting the best 154lbs guys out there. He needs to face 1 or 2 TRUE top middleweights and win to be respected as a great champion.
                Like B-Hop or winky Wright?

                  Spinks is a respected boxer with skills, I don't care if he's smaller, I will take Spinks anyday over Mora or some bums like the way Hopkins or Jones fought in their career.

                  Taylor is not ducking Miranda, if Miranda somehow beats Pavlik, then we will have this fight and you can put your money on your boy!

                  I think Taylor will fight Pavlik next, because I have a feeling Miranda will be knocked out by Pavlik.

                  Can't wait for these free fights on HBO!
                  Can anyone say completely delusional Taylor nuthugger.......n00b on top of that......
