Jermain Taylor vs. King Arthur????

[WESS]

And I mean NO disrespect to AA, I enjoy his style of fighting. I like both PAV and AA equally...

[boxaholic]

Sometimes when you look to good against a fighter the less the oppurtunities you will have because people are scared. That is why AA hasn't got a real offer.

And let me add that whats also important to defeat AA besides skills, punchoutput and movement is power to make Arthur pay for his wild swinging haymakers. Taylor has the tools.

I don't see this wild swinging AA that you are talking about BAT

I think JT fares better against Abraham than Pavlik does. He could win a decision but probably gets knocked out.

LOL yeah Ive noticed this term "RING WORN" a lot lately about Joe.... is it because people are preparing themselves JUST IN CASE JC loses or what? I mean before Joe set up the fight with ROY he was PRIME SUPER BEST P4P KING and now its "ring worn" or NOT SO PRIMED JC... crazy how this works.. lol SORRY ALL, (as roy knows best) there will be "NO EXCUSES" come fight night for either fighter, NONE WHAT SO EVER! NOT ONE! Sorry, you all will have to dig deeper, because this "ring worn" bull **** will not work.

Anyway PAV is young he can fight anyone he wants at this point, he has his entire career ahead of him. Why not fight 2 guys that are about to retire, then he can do what joe does and call himself the "LEGEND KILLER" and make a **** load of money doing it. WHY hate on that. AA is still young, pav is young relax people the fight will happen. Its not that I agree with PAV's people. I just understand WHY its happening.. This time next year I am sure we will see little 5'9 AA face the bigger and more experienced (by that point) PAV...... If PAV goes 12 rounds with HOP, win or lose he has the advantage over AA anyday just by that ONE fight! Sorry I like AA and his style of boxing. I just don't see him beating PAV. Like I said JT and AA first and then if he gets by he can face PAV....

You guys are incredible. I guess we should make excuses since 43 year old Hop and 36 year old Cal are still in their primes lol. Fighters don't need any excuses from fans. Fans can only point out the truth. Cal and Hop are old, and no amount of "here we go again with the ring worn thing" can take that away. If Pav beats those guys, he will get little to no credit from me. You PAv fans justify the Hop fight now, because your man is fighting him. Man I oughta...lol. Don't get fake with me. You and rounding grace won't ever be able to legitimize those wins as greats win as long as I'm on NSB lol, if PAv beats those 2.

He swung wildly when he had Miranda reeling. But the people who say that obviously never watched him fight before. They don't come much more cautious or calculated than Abraham.

[Boofdatruth]

Good post. AA dispatched Miranda, but Miranda already could have been damaged goods by the beating pavlik gave him. A fight against Taylor or Pavlik will show where he truly stands.

No, the bar isn't set by Abraham beating those guys. This "damaged goods" does not apply to Miranda. That is an excuse given by Pav's fans to make them feel better about PAv beating Miranda first before the next hyped fighter beats him. You are either good or you aren't.

Who picked Taylor by KO? Last time he ko'ed someone was Daniel Edouard in February of 2005. I think he has 1 ko in his last 8 fights and two losses and a draw. He fought good guys of course, but it's not like he's gonna suddenly ko a guy who's never been ko'ed.

Taylor hasn't looked good for a full fight in forever. Ever since he forgot his jab- which he sometimes remembered in the 2nd fight with Pav.

That and AA is one of the hardest guys in boxing to knockout. They could fight 100 times and the one result that would never occur is JT by knockout.

Exactly, and when you have a fighter hurt, there is no perfect technique to keep a man hurt. I thought AA did well when he had Miranda hurt. Good post. Observant too lol.
