Yeah at least that makes sense! But we haveone and only one champ at Middle. This boy smokin too much or something!

I almost didnt recognize you. I see that you changed your avater but you still call people boy. Your getting there though

Taylor will have to fight another second-rung contender before he can take on Tito or Hopkins. He himself does not believe he is ready, and the top fighters probably don't think he can generate enough cash yet to give him a shot. A convincing win over a Vargas or a Sturm could vault him into their ranks, though.

I dont know if Taylor is ready either but if his people think so then why not. I wouldnt mine the Vargas fight but noway would I put him in with Sturm. Too littile to gain and everything to lose. Sturm is so sound that he is probally a harder fight than Tito. I wouldnt mine seeing him and Tito. I think he has the speed and power and jab to give Tito problems

taylor will be 160lb champ, but not yet, hopkins, dispite his age is still the man. tito may give b-hop a harder fight this time but hopkins's ring craft will prevail again. forget eastman, that fight (with hopkins) won't happen.

I agree that the situation might turn out so that the only logical opponent is Tito. Sturm is tricky, like you said, and Vargas might be reasonable, but does he really need to lay waste to another also-ran in order to prove himself? Maybe, but maybe not. Another choice would be Eastman but if he gets pumelled by Hopkins it might not be worthwhile, unless Eastman is looking for another opponent to try and launch a comeback against.

i think taylor is ready to take on tito or nard, but should face sturm first....
