    Questions about Jermain Taylor

    Don't know if this has been posted before but if it has it was along way back and im dont feel like reading through 50 pages to find it....

    I'm a Taylor fan since I saw him fight Bunema but although hes pretty much unproven aginst top fighters he looks good imo. Although im curious what your opinions are on him vs. other "top" middleweights. I dont want to do rate them in order just who can he and who cant he beat as styles make fights and maybe he can beat X opponent but lose to Y but X can beat Y.... confusing and pointless sorry for adding it lol.... So In your opinion how does he stack up against....

    Bernard Hopkins
    Felix Trinidad
    Felix Sturm
    Winky Wright
    Sam Soliman
    Howard Eastman
    Kingsley Ikene
    Antwun Echols

    Just curious

    He will beat them all but have trouble against Trinidad. Hopkins is going down. The mind games dont work on Taylor. He is to big, to strong, to fast, and he has the skills and attitude to take out Hopkins.

      Sam Soliman aint match fo Taylor
      Kingsley recently beat Echols so, I rate Taylor above them! Taylor would knock them out!

      Trinidad vs Taylor is hard to choose, but Id root fo Taylor!
      Winky Wright would beat Taylor by decision right now
      Taylor can and will win against Hopkins. Might TKO him too!

      Now that we're on the subeject, Trinidad, Wright and Taylor can all beat
      Hopkins in my view!

      Hopkins really hasn't impressed me the way he used to in his last 2 bouts against De la hoya and Eastman while Winky beat Mosley impressively twice, Trinidad KOed the almost unknockoutable Mayorga and Taylor has been performing rather perfectly! Jest my thoughts!

        Hopkins will beat Taylor, age and size won't play a factor. Hopkins is way too experienced and may even win by KO. Then it will be Trinidad/Hopkins II...

          Although it remains to be seen if Taylor will beat B-Hop but one thing i do know..... Hopkins will not KO Taylor, if i had any points I'd bet on it but... i don't ; p regardless if Taylor does lose its going to be on a decision although he may pull off a SD I think his best chance of winning is to knock Hopkins out because Hopkins will prob have him beat on points.... Although its not easy to knock Hopkins out he is getting old and I think Taylor has very good stamina.... IMHO Taylor by KO/TKO round 9 although like I said it'll be VERY close....

            hopkins will have his hands full against this young, and talented fighter. taylor, it seems, is coming in to this fight with full of confidence and determination.

              This is crazy but possible:

              1. Taylor upsets Hopkins and becomes undisputed champion.
              2. Trinidad beats Wright and becomes Taylor's mandatory.
              3. Trinidad becomes undisputed champ via Taylor.
              4. Hopkins and Wright fight for the right to get a rematch against Trinidad.

                possible yet highly improbable, on your first argument

                  Hopkins gets the UD over Taylor in your book?

                    a win, a 60-40 probability. maybe a UD or a SD but not a KO
