Whats next for Taylor?

[mr.anthrax]

Fight an opponent, retire. He was never convincing as a champion, let him keep his dignity.

Ha ha! The cynic in me agrees with your statement completely. I have a bit more respect for Taylor tonight, but I also feel so justified for my previous opinions. Mostly that he was more hype with a promise of greater things to come, but that would never happen in reality when he fought his first middleweight since being installed as champion.

maybe fight miranda.

That would be a great fight! The timing seems perfect and they still have some bad blood that can be used to promote the fight too.

Jermain Taylor didn't even weigh 168 on the unofficial scales on the night of the fight...166 lbs. There are no reasonable excuses for him in this fight. Tell him to hit the yellow brick road and find the Wizard of Oz...he never had nor will have a champions heart. At least he got himself some crumbs from Dibella's and HBO's pie.

Should he go for the rematch? Take some time off? Fight a few bums then go after any of the belts?????

I personally think he should take some time off because this lose is going to affect psychologically for a long time...

I would think a long vaction with atleast three high class hookers!

He will be back in top shape!

That would help nata...he needs to go train

If he takes a rematch, he'll get taken out even faster next time. Pavlik took his psyche away from him in this fight and next time around it'll be even easier so I think he should try and move up to 168 and make some noise there.

[Dorian]

He should move up to 168 and fight Edison Miranda(if miranda wins, wich he will)

[Wiley Hyena]

That would help nata...he needs to go train

You have to wonder what something like this might do to his confidence. Hope this doesn't turn out to be like what happened to Judah after the Tszyu fight.

rematch clause is at 164, not 168

[-EX-]

He's not staying at 160. I don't think he can really make the weight well anymore. He has matches at 168 or he can fight a rematch. Unless Jermain does something unbelievable he'll lose again.
