Jermain Taylor vs Peter Quillen?!?!

[Spray_resistant]

Pretty terrible fight for Quillin on his way up against a ko prone Taylor, don't care if he was the MW champion he is totally done and shouldn't be fighting anymore at all really.

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."

Snap out of kiaba! Nobody here is contemplating this match up! I think everyone here is just worrying for the guy's health.

No need to cradle Taylor. Make it happen.

Yeah, none of the fans. Just the people who, you know, MAKE the matches lmao

Taylor was and still is one of my favorites. I'm also a huge fan if Quillin. That being said, please don't make this fight. Taylor shouldn't be in there with a young, hungry heavy hitter like Quillin. I don't know if I'd watch.

Im not sure why DiBella started promoting him again and now he wants to do this to him (if this fight goes thru)? Not cool. Sometimes you gotta put greed/money aside and think about the fighters.

to be honest as a promoter you have to put feelings aside. If taylor comes to you and says he wants this fight and that fight, and if you can make it happen you should make it happen that is your job. That is what he hired you to do, you let the manager and taylor worry about all that what if he gets hurt darma. As promoter once taylor or taylor manager says he wants this or that fight then as his promoters make it happen.

What a promoter does is lay out option that he can fight and Taylor and team decide what fight they want to roll with to try and make happen/.

this is a set up, dibella gets some cash out for Taylor then Quillin fights Martinez and gets KO'd I think. You see there are idiots that just watch what ever fight they put on and they will see Peter as a beast after this, then he gets a following then he gets fed to the lions

Sometimes you really got to step up and send a past-prime fighter the door.

Morales-Zaragoza.... Garcia-Morales II.... Marciano-Louis... DLH-Pacquiao...

Gives the older guy one latt cash out and the younger guy gets a little of his shine. Fights like this aren't pretty but they're a necessary element.

Make it happen,don't get in the ring if you don't want to get knocked out.

I agree. For some reason Taylor just does not have it anymore. He was very good years back when he beat Hopkins but went downhill after Pavlic and can't take much of a punch anymore. He wants to be on top again and be the middleweight champ again. He can't get there by fighting handpicked easy guys. Let him fight Quillen. If he wins he is well on his way to the middleweight tittle. If he gets KOed, as I think he will, he can make a choice to retire or hang around and make some money fighting handpicked guys and getting KOed again if he fights another top guy.
