    Who should Jermain Taylor fight next?

    I haven't heard anything lately about who Taylor's next opponent will be. Does anybody know what he's up to these days?

    Who should he fight? I think Lacy, Manfredo, Codrington or Bika would be suitable as first super middleweight opponents for Jermain.

    Edison Miranda or Jeff Lacy.

    It would be alright to have a tune-up fight first against some tough journeyman.

      He should start slow. I think he shoudl really try hitting someone like Manfredo out of the park. No one that could potentially surprise him.

        I agree. I think Jermaine has fought one of the toughest schedules in recent time. Maybe take a step down in competition befor challenging the elite in smw

              Bika went 12 with Calzaghe so Id like to see how Taylor handles him.

                Bika is underrated. He's a tough cookie...

                  I'm really liking the names in the Super MW division, I think after Taylor's 2 straight losses he should get some sort of tune-up fight before landing a bigger fight by the end of the year. I agree with either a Lacy or Manfredo fight, it would provide entertainment and a good tune-up for Taylor. I would love to see Miranda-Taylor but I think it's too risky for him at this point.

                    Taylor has had a tough couple of years fighting top competition. But before picking his opponent Taylor has to decide if he is going back down to MW or if he is going to go up to SMW.
