ROY JONES JR. VS. JERMAIN TAYLOR IN JUNE?
by G. Leon

While it was announced this past weekend by Bob Arum that Kelly Pavlik's next opponent could be the former middleweight champion Tito Trinidad, (B-talk) has learned that a showdown between Jermain Taylor and Roy Jones Jr. is brewing, and could take place as soon as June. Taylor has already agreed to the fight, and is willing to either give the lion's share of the purse to Jones or accept a buyout from Don King. The fight would be aired on HBO PPV, and would be fought at an agreed 170-pounds. Jones last fight was his Janunary dismantling of Tito Trinidad, while Taylor's stock rose with his hard fought, but close fight with Pavlik this past weekend. Interviews with both fighters and promoters will follow soon, but until then REMEMBER WHERE YOU HEARD IT FIRST! (7:30PM EST)

What do you think?

sounds good, it would be a great fight, and i think jones can take, although JT has the youth behind him....tough call

[JL FightFan]

This is an interesting match up. I never saw this one coming.

[KingTito]

wow.. i'm a bit skeptical.. but if it's true, then i'm impressed. i would definitely expect taylor to take on someone easier.. rjj is no "tune-up".. taylor always fights good opposition though, that's y i respect him so much.. like i said, i don't know if it's true, but if he loses to pavlik twice and then fights jones, that'd be impressive

[KingTito]

just read bout it on b o x i n g t a l k

[niceguy45]

JT is the man, he takes no esay way like mayweather, that *****.......

[Dynamite Kid]

This probabably a good fight for Taylor stylistically cause he will be able to work at his own pace & claim the centre ofthe ring and use the jab to keep Roy on the outside

[KingTito]

i'd say right now, taylor wins.. he can't lose again

[Scott9945]

Roy was really wanting this fight last year, so I believe it.

[Truth]

why? What does Roy gain by beating Taylor? I guess he figures he'll need a good tune up for fighting either Joe or Nard.
