Jermain Taylor vs. King Arthur????

[BattlingNelson]

I think that the odds of this fight happening any time soon is bigger than the odds for the Pillsbury Doughboy to win the Boston marathon.

Anyway. If those two were to square off I got Taylor by decision. AA is a quite sloppy fighter fighting only in flashy bursts so if Taylor can keep him on the end of the jab and outmove him I think he'll win a fairly easy decision over the small-armed Abraham.

Of course conditioning is a huge factor for Taylor. If he doesn't come in at peak condition there's a very real possibility that Arthurs Abrahammer will land at some point after the tenth.

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.

This is what I was calling for... I think little 5'9 AA needs to defeat JT first and then call out PAV once he's done facing Calzaghe. Thats if Calzaghe even beats Jones... But yes I'm about this fight. It should happen. Would be a perfect set up for a PAV vs AA....

Yes I know, I'm prepared for the AA fans to hate... I know they all want to see PAV and AA but hey AA has a mando and PAV's not waiting around he has a BS big money fight with HOP and a possible BIG ASS MONEY FIGHT with CALZAGHE.... is AA a BIG money fight NO????? So you cant hate... IF anything this will build AA up for a huge fight with PAV down the road (late late 09).... and please both sides of the house...

AA doesn't need to defeat JT first before he fights Pav. AA has been champion longer than Pav. Middleweights fighting at super middleweight aren't middleweights. JT is not going back to 160. Unless AA goes up to super middle, I don't see these guys fighting. Pav won't face AA. He is not in Arum's plans. Pav is the new PAc. He is going to make money and a name by beating guys who have been in wars, and are ring worn.

i think AA can KO him, but taylor is the better boxer and if taylor stays out of harms way and throws enough punches, he will win a UD

NO PAV and AA will fight. If it wasnt for your boy AA having a MANDO they would be at it before the end of the year. Like I said PAV is not waiting around and as it appears will face HOP, then move on to Joe Calzaghe. JC is a bigger name and he will get more money for that fight any day than a fight with AA. Like PAV has said MANY time he wants AA but the timing is not right. He cant make it work right now... unless AA give up his belts and doesn't fight his mando... he's not gonna do that right????

Give it time they will face each other....

Lmao!! Isn't that what Floyd did the last 4 or 5 years? Thats different though, right?

Maybe Abraham has to move up and chase Pav. I hope Kelleramn jumps on PAv for fighting Hop and then Cal. The is absurd. The middleweight champ chasing old men. He almost was in the ring against a WW. This is comical. Pav is a superb fighter, why is Arum doing this to PAv? Arum is about to retire, and wants to fill his pockets for his families future I guess. No Abraham, no Valero for
Pac. We are going to see 2 of the best fighters facing Soto, Possibly Hatton, Hop and Calzaghe. Comical. Arum is thee worst when it comes to the future of boxing.

Here we go again. Now JC is ring worn and Pav is ducking AA to take on JC lol. Come on man, take your fan point of view out of the equation. AA and Pav is Pav/Miranda all over again. Taylor would take the AA fight at any weight because AA would get out boxed for all 12 rounds. I think the guy before you said it pretty well. A JT/AA fight would be the build up he needs to get Pav in the ring after Pav's done with his plans are. Boxing, afterall, is a business and not all about making the perfect, fan credible, match ups and I agree, Arum is becoming more and more sickenign with who he puts his top guys in with, but as I told you earlier, I don't see where Pav can really be looked down upon because he wants to go after the #2 p4p fighter and cement his own legacy on the sport. AA isn't going anywhere and is still young - - the AA/Pav fight WILL happen.

taylor Couldn't Solve Winky's Guard And Couldn't Handle Pavliks Power Put Em Together And You Get Abraham Ko.

Excellent Post And Good Analogy!

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....
