Will J. Taylor Ever be Defeated @ MW or SMW??

[wmute]

According to most, Hopkins, Winky & Spinks all beat him...Yet, the judges thought otherwise...The boy is winning fights and people can't stand their favorite fighters getting beat by him...

Spinks's is no one favorite fighter (with the possible exception of one of the best posters in this forum, SpinksJinks).

At the time Hopkins' was the favorite fighter of 3 people or so.

So your theory does not quite work.

This will all be determined on Saturday by Jt's performance against Pavlik. But no, I don't think he will do good in the smw division even though he wants to move up in weight. I think the smw weight division has better boxers in it then the middle weight division.

How did you test my Theory?? Hopkins having 3 fans are so is crap...Everyone loves that guy..That the reason he threw 1 punch per round and people still felt he won BOTH fights..

If you go to BEFORE the taylor fights hopkins did not seem to have many fans. If anything, getting the shaft in their first fight bought him fans.

You have die-hard fans and you have fans...Hopkins had both on here playa, I'm sure...Die-hards post on every thread..Fans just sit back and watch their fighter go to work..

this is how i see it.now hear me out fellas!if jermaine gets past pavlik, and tito gets by roy jones i see that fight happening.i think it'll be hopkins vs calzaghe so i don't think joe is fighting taylor.

umm... DUH!!! this saturday...

[SkillspayBills]

Taylor might face Roy Jones if Cal beats Kessler.

I say no...There is no one in the MW or SMW class that can or will beat Taylor. He will reign as the MW/SMW king for a long time...Much like Hopkin did..

Neither Taylor or Hopkins have ever fought at SMW yet. Way too premature to talk about either of them as being "kings" there.

As for Taylors chances - First of all there's a good chance he loses to Pavlik. Regardless he should not be considered a favourite against ANY top 5 SMW. Certainly not against Calzaghe or Kessler.

Taylors best chance at quick succes at SMW is a guy like Berrio. But if Bute get's there first, i don't rate Taylors chances at all.

Let's see some proof before crediting anyone with the ability to just walk in and take over the SMW division. Haven't been done like that in quite a while. I think there's more than just financial reasons Hopkins chose to totally pass it over. Too much risk at SMW compared to the possible reward. Whereas Tarver was as ripe as possibly imaginable.
EVERYONE from MW to LHW were trying to land a fight with Tarver for that reason.
