    Taylor and Brinkley are made for each other neither has tremendous stamina. I thought Brinkleys last fight which was against Joey Gilbert was entertaining due to all the blood and the way Joey Gilbert was trying to fight was HILARIOUS. If you have not seen this fight, you must just for the laughs, the blood and all the RUNNING in the ring Gilbert did was TOO FUNNY.

      JT needs o taste victory be it against this guy or the next is as good as any. The fact that JT ahsn't been able to finish anyone off in a few years lums hard in his mind and he needs a win by crushing KO. He has fought a lot of tough fights in a row and needs a down time fight to get hi swagger back in the ring. I think it could be just what the doctor ordered. JT beats this guy and wins by KO maybe Froch is there for a rematch maybe Fr4och gets KTFO by Kessler and JT takes a fight with Green or Bute or someone else for a big money Championship fight....Lefty

              Am I the only who likes this fight for both guys? Brinkley needs to at least try to acomplish something before his career is over, and Taylor needs a fighter like Brinkley (an opponent that boxing fans know of, who is of relativley little risk) to get himself going again, confidence and career momentum. The way called him out was classy, even though Taylor was KO'd last week. It actually helps Jermain, because now we are talking about him winning or what he can do to this guy and not anout getting laid out in the 12th round by Froch

                I agree w/HeartAttack.

                Taylor is 1-3 in his last four fights, being KO'd twice.

                Has Taylor fallen far enough to take a legitimate tune-up fight? I think he deserves a relatively soft touch at this point and it could be just what the doctor ordered in terms of getting his confidence and swagger back on track.

                Cotto fought Gomez, De la Hoya fought Forbes, and Calzaghe fought Manfredo in tune-up fights.

                Forrest LOST his belt to Mora for chrissakes and Pavlik is fighting him soon.

                So WTF is to keep Taylor from fighting Brinkley? I think fans' expectations have always been so high for Taylor that everyone wants to see him against the best 100% of the time without taking time to consider what a normal string of fights for most top boxers looks like. It guarantee you that normal is NOT:

                Bunema
                Marquez
                Joppy
                Edouard
                Hopkins
                Hopkins
                Wright
                Ouma
                Spinks
                Pavlik
                Pavlik
                Lacy
                Froch

                Brinkley is a legitmate tune-up fight. He's got some name recognition and is durable enough to offer Taylor with some OK ring time while presenting limited risk.
