i went with taylor.. i think at this stage, he gets him..he needs a win, he can't lose again

I think it would depend on the weight. At 168, I think Jermain wins, at 175 Roy has a better chance, he looked too weight drained vs Tito (though it did force him to get into sick shape.)

i guess if they fought, it would be at a catch weight of 170

Roys 90mph straight right hand over jermains lazy left... all night long

Right now, Jermain, I think he will be very motivated in this fight, he can't afford another loss.

Its so hard to choose since they're both on the top of my favorites.

I just think Jermains 2 losses might've hurt him, and I know he looked good against Pavlik. I just think Roy could pull it off.

All I could say at the moment is that mentally Taylor will be the stronger man going in. Even though both fighters have done a fine job of restoring their own confidence in their last fights.

Roy begins to struggle when he can't somehow look good, and Taylor could make him look bad at different points, upsetting Jones rythm.

I have serious doubts Roy could soldier through full on contention.

Taylor is a tough resolute fighter. He challenged Pavlik's will and equaled or bettered it their last fight, while Pavlik won the physical battle.

I don't know if Roy realizes this yet. I don't think he wants to fight Jermain Taylor. Roy can't play games with him..

Tough one. Jermain has the power to stop Roy, but with Roy keeping his hands up these days, I'm not so sure he can land cleanly enough. If Roy slacks up on his training this time, he's done, but I think he might be able to pull it off. If I had to put money on it though, I'd bet on Taylor.

Jermain if he lands a big shot flush. Roy if he is able to avoid clean hard punches to the chin. I'm not sure who I'm picking yet.
