    Taylor vs Sam Soliman in the works...

    Taylor-Soliman in the works!
    Middleweight champion Jermain Taylor will fight Sam Soliman on April 15 according to the Arkansas ********-Gazette. Taylor's promoter Lou DiBella told the paper that the bout will be televised by HBO on a telecast that also features a junior-middleweight bout between Vernon Forrest and Ike Quartey.



    I don't like this fight too much. Soliman's exciting, but he's Winky's leftovers.

          I'll put a billion points on it if you're game?

                Styles make fights and taylor has the style to send soliman to the canvas, i picked soliman to beat winky and i still think he out worked him and should of got the nod, but life moves on good to see that in boxing.

                A fighter like soliman can be IBF 1# contender for a good 18months get dogded by every fighter and his dog, finally a real champ like winky takes him on he loses then his title shot comes thats boxing.

                  this is not a fight i want to see but it makes sense.
                  the pressure of fighting a hopkins twice has to fck with you.taylor deserves a tuneup.
                  expect an in shape taylor getting frustrated against solimans jack in the box style of boxing. i see taylor wearing himself out but eventually letting his hands go and steamrolling thru solimans ****imainy style with his power punches.

                  will like to see a unpressured taylor zero in and connect with less anxious power punches and have fun. expect a three stooges like fight against a high work rated soliman.

                  lost guy.... your avatar makes me sick.look at that guys ditsy face.it needs rearranging.

                    I really want Soliman to win but I feel taylor's sturdy jab will put in some work and he'll probably end up KO'ing Soliman. Winky managed to daze him a couple of times during the fights and I think Taylor will open up his arsenal a little more when he's not facing the nearly as defensive guru as Hopkins was. Taylor's power is rather underrated and I think he'll get a 7th round TKO over Soliman... I'll definately be pulling for the King though...... if this fight even happens.
