Jermain's Next Opponent????

[onetwopunch]

Sturm would be the most logical, then maybe a fight with Winky if he gets passed Sturm.

Spinks would be overmatched.

Personally, I want to see Spinks take on Margarito at 147 or 154.

Yeh. I said he wouldn't be competitive. I said he deserved to lose if he wasn't gonna fight. But Margarito at 147 could be interesting. I love Margarito. Also, I pick Margarito.

Jermain Taylor fighting Bernard Hopkins twice in a row, then Felix Sturm in April and Winky Wright next summer would be very good for the sport. The only problem is, if he beats both Sturm and Wright, he has pretty much cleaned out the middleweight division.

Personally I'd like to see him fight the winner of the Ikekke-Abraham fight in April to unify all the belts, then take on Winky. I also wouldnn't mind seeing an Ouma-Taylor fight.

If Ikeke wins, then ok, yeh, he should go straight for Taylor, after all, he's already made his case and everyone knows he's a tough, underrated contender.

On the other hand, if Arthur wins, and a Taylor-Sturm fight doesn't come off, I think Arthur should set up a fight with Sebastian Sylvester, and Sturm should get back on the horse against Maselino Masoe. If they both win you have a natural, all-Germany, European box-office smash hit. Plus, the winner is a perfect number one contender, and Taylor gets to test himself against another young, strong middlewight sometime in the fall or winter of next year.

That's in a perfect world, though. Not the one we live in.

Mora would get his ass destroyed by Taylor! JabsRstiff, stop gettin excited you jimbo!

Wow. For a guy who said he wanted an easy first defense, he sure picked a helluva lotta tought fighters to negotiate with. Personally, I'd like to see him avenge the Olympic loss to Sturm.

He beat Sturm, bud.

Sturm should get the shot if he's healthy and ready to go.

Honestly I'd like to see him fight Sturm just to shut up Sturmrules. For entertainment value though, I want Ouma-Taylor.

It's possible. I'm just pretty sure you're wrong. I could have sworn that Sturm at least won silver.

In any case, if that is the case, who did Taylor lose to?

[Meester Keester]

I have the fight. Jermain won.

Taylor lost to Yermakhan Ibraimov of Kazakstan
