WTF.....Roy Jones to fight Taylor in September!

[The Final Word]

Sry, I've defended Taylor in several posts actually but hes not facing Winky Wright, Ouma, or Hopkins he facing a man that 3-4 years ago had been atop the p4p rankings for a decade

3-4 is dog years in boxing.

When Taylor's physical attributes mature in a few more years he'll be more at home at super middleweight and maybe someday light heavy.

Years back this could have been something. I'm willing to bet Jermain will pound Roy for 12 rounds, or knock his ass out.

Roy doesn't have it anymore. He doesn't like to get hit. Jermain loves to engage. He might not have KOed Ouma but he landed big shots. Can Roy take those same shots?

All those who think Roy is going to win how is Roy gonna stop Jermain from coming inside and hammering him? He can't box and move all night against someone who has speed too.

Roy should go after Zsolt…

I don't really want to see that fight. I would rather see Miranda/Taylor or Pavlik/Taylor.

but you wont because taylor is running from miranda.

i'd run from him too, but it sucks to see the champ running.

Nobody is as shocked as I am that Taylor would take such a fight. Proves nothing

Proves RJJ ain't done embarassing himself.

Roy wont have to stop Taylor from getting inside Taylor is not a pressure fighter. Taylor is dumb if he makes this fight its lose lose for him. I like Taylor I want him to fight Calzaghe or someone that would prove something, if he wins he beat a washed up RJJ if he loses he lost to a washed up RJJ. Same for Roy if he loses that proves he was a nobody from day one and if he wins he beat a middleweight big deal. I understand money talks but do people not care about their legacy anymore? Either way to me JT is the best middleweight right now and Roy is an all time great who is years past his prime.

Taylor ain't running from nobody. He needs to get away from DiBella. I hope he doesn't fight Roy, and fights the winner of Pavlik and Miranda.

If Miranda beats Pavlik then he earns himself a shot not right now.

His trying to be the 2nd coming of the "Legend Killer".

well I'm guessing that this fight will happen at a contracted weight higher than 160. Blah. If they put this on PPV I wont order it unless the undercard is like, Peter-Tua, zab-mosley, AND Pacman-Freitas.

Seriously, I think it would be a pitterpat fight at best. Or Jermain would just KTFO Roy. Way to keep on padding Taylors record with name fighters HBO. IMO Taylor still isn't HOF material.
