    Berrios....if he can get the fight made on one of the networks. HBO/Showtime.

    It would give him the chance to look really good and possibly a knock out. From there jump right back to a Miranda/Lacy type.

    I think he would beat both Miranda and Lacy quite easy. Although against Lacy he would have to be a bit busier.

      I think Taylor vs. Miranda or Taylor vs. Mundine would be great fights.

      But perhaps he should take an easier opponent like Manfredo first.

        I think he should fight Lacy and get back in the win column.

          I don't see why Taylor needs a confidence boost, he fought a great fight vs Pavlik and he has nothing to be ashamed of, i think he should fight Lacy then fight Kessler that would be a great stylistic match up.

            I agree with this with all of this. I'd also like to add that Taylor would box Miranda's ears off.

              He should fight Mundine, who is the WBA regular champ. Mundine is a legend in his own imagination, but wastes his talent on fighting tomato cans.

              He got beaten by an injured Kessler and knocked out by Ottke, which, as I mentioned in another thread, is about as embarassing as being caught getting blown by your best friend's grandmother

                How about Andrade. Is he a super middle? That would be a lovely fight for him. A guy who will stand in there, who is game but will make you look good offensively.

                  Taylor vs. Bute would be interesting, and a good test of Lucian's ability.
