            i first saw taylor like three years ago i told my dad he would be a star. He fought some dude named lionel ortiz or some ****. HE was the undercard for a fight in new york. After watching the intangibles that he had i knew he could potentially be great. It is hard for anyone to look good against B hop, hell Jones look ****yy against him back in the day when he made opponents look like amatures. So if its hard for roy you know it would be difficult for damn near anyone else. I say taylor beats soliman , then does the same against Wright.

            And trust me, as i have said before, i personally am aquantences with Sam. And he will be a much better and much more entertaining fight then the wright one will, my boy sam dont quit.

                Taylor won the 2nd bout, but the first? Nah. It could've gone to either guy, Bernard definately inflicted more punishment on Taylor, I'd go as far as to say Taylor only inflicted a sixth of the punishment Bernard put on him. Nard rolled with all those shots, Taylor was getting tagged flush

                if a 40+ year old man can daze you and force you to hold and clinch just to survive a round, then I question your chin. Unless you're fighting George Foreman.

                  you said that you question the chin of anyone that get dazed by a forty year old man, then you might wanna go back through out history and find that forty year olds are still capable of Knockin someone. Everyone knows that power is the last thing to go.
