Somebody has to retire JT, might as well be Kid Chocolate.

N'Jikam was basically gifted the WBO title. That being said, he was a solid opponent, and Taylor is most definitely a step back in the wrong direction. I'm a fan of faded/shot fighters getting chin-checked, but Taylor is one of those fighters that can't afford to get KTFO again.

Doesn't matter wether N'jikam was gifted or not. The fact is, Quillin went from fighting nobodys to fighting Njikam. Huge step IMO where he showed his inexperience but you sounded like you were trying to **** on Quillin.

I know boxing is a ****ed up sport but I hope they're not ****ed up enough to throw Taylor in there...

i wouldn't dare hit the venerable taylor, but thank you for flattering my power.

So they're giving up on Taylor, not ven rebuilding him with a few tune ups.

I like Quillin, but I don't like his matchmakers. Taylor is WBO #8, how is that even a plausible match-up? I'd rather see him fight Murray/Pirog or even an N'Jikam rematch. Taylor is a gimme fight like Winky was, and it would be the end of Taylor's career.

Im not mad about the match up cause this isn't even confirmed yet soooo. Right now Im just worried about Taylor's health.

I know I'm in the minority but I thought Taylor looked good in his last fight. He seemed fit and actually threw right hands behind the jab, haven't seem that in years.

I didn't see his last fight and I thought he looked alright vs Truax but that's not enough cause once you touch his chin it's MAN DOWN! And with Quillin's power, I don't think JT would be getting up.

What I'm saying is, the match-up shouldn't even be contemplated. Nobody should be thinking, "Hmm...I wonder how Quillin/Taylor would play out, I think I'd like to see that match-up above all the others."

He beat a LMW with 15 losses (11 by stoppage). Also, it's not his skills that I'm worried about, it's his defense (which was never that good) and his punch resistance. The fact that he came back from brain damage is also not a good sign.

I'd rather see Taylor against a ranked/relevant MW contender.
