    By they you can not mean HBO. They are not happy with Taylor's last two opponents. They basically let him fight Spinks because of the undercard and want to force him to fight the winner. Although I dont think they would mind a fight with Calzaghe.

    For HBO sake, Miranda KOing Pavlik and than Taylor would be a dream come true. They would have the middleweight champ that Taylor could not be.

        Dibella knows he has a fake and that is why he is protecting him and milking HBO for as much as he can before he gets exposed. It is all coming to an end soon. Taylor was lucky to get by Hopkins and trick many people in thinking he is some p4p star. In 1-2 years Taylor will be nothing in this sport.

          I watched Taylors 8th professional fight right here in Tusa from ringside.

          I've followed him ever since.

          And to be honest....every year that passes makes me wonder WTF is going on. This kid used to BRING IT. I went to his fights a lot since they were held in Tulsa and Little Rock pretty regularly. He made everyone look like amatures. Everyone.

          Now...pretty much since the Bunema fight...I get the impression he fighting not to lose now that he's successfull.

          And while I think he more skilled and gifted and either Pavlik or Mirandad...

          Fighting not to lose might not cut it with Pavlik...and FOR SURE wont work against Miranda.

              HA we'll see. Jermain's only been in trouble against Hopkins. With Steward as his trainer he will improve as long as he listens. He may need to get rid of DiBella though. I don't think Jermain came along and wanted to fight Spinks. The fight was probably offered to him and he took it. DiBella is the one making the fights I don't believe its Jermain.

              I truly belive Jermain will fight any middleweight out there. Many didn't think he could beat Winky. He deserves some credit draw or not. When was the last time Winky's face looked the way it was?

                  In Miranda's last fight he weighed in offically at 162 (catchweight) then entered the ring at 175.

                  So he probably could make 160 easy by cutting water weight.

                    did you know howard eastman gave miranda the wobbles... before being robbed by the ref with a premature stoppage.

                      Premature?? After taking shot after shot with no response and looking like this what was the ref supposed to do? If Eastman wasnt hurt, it is his own fault for not throwing back and letting the ropes keep him upright.
