Jermain Taylor's 2005 Schedule!

[borikua]

December 28, 2004 - Jermain Taylor's promoter Lou DiBella contacted ********** to give us his undefeated middleweight contenders likely blue-print for 2005. "Bernard Hopkins is fighting Howard Eastman, and Felix Trinidad is likely fighting Winky Wright later this year,so the top two guys we were looking to fight are out of the equation," said DiBella, who later explained that Taylor will return to HBO Boxing After Dark in March or April to face the stiffest test of his career, Sam Soliman. The Taylor-Soliman winner will earn the right to become mandatory challenger to the winner of Hopkins-Eastman. Should Taylor defeat Soliman and bouts with Hopkins and Trinidad still not doable, former WBO middleweight champion Felix Sturm is the man on deck, "We've had several discussions with Sturm's people (Universum) and both sides like the fight. We probably would have done (Taylor-Sturm) first, but they already have something scheduled for March."

They are moving this taylor kid way too quickly. I would rather see him fight 5 more good fighters before being thrown in with great fighters like Tito or hopkins.

You may be right, but I think hes about 2 fight away from that level.

I think he's coming along nicely and at the right pace. The way he swept Joppy was a good sign that his skills are for real. He's almost ripe.

i still thinks he beats B-Hop, and gets KO'd by Tito. both great fights though.

Other way around.

i thinks sturm will beat taylor...taylor is very overrated

sturm owns him
tito ko's him
benard schools him and ko's him late

[STEELHEAD]

i would like to see taylor in a couple more tuneups before a trinidad or hopkins fight. winky would be perfect after he gets beat by trinidad or taylor could go up and fight calzaghe.
