Jermain Taylor vs. Sam Soliman

[Hougigo]

Taylor fought three times early in his career, and Soliman has never fought in NY. Hopefully, this is a stepping stone for GGG/Soliman.

Doubt it... Weird that it'd be in ny. Ggg might move to west coast, especially since he trains there and his family is moving to Santa Monica

I hope Taylor wins it so we can see another decentish name on GGG record.

Everyone involved in the match-making process would be crazy to make Taylor/GGG.

The Truax fight was two years ago, hopefully he's gotten a reality check since then. The sad part is, I could see Quillin fighting him.

If reality didn't set in before the his comeback fight what makes you think it has by now? I think before the Niklow & Truax fight he was denied a license to fight and that's why he was gone for so long. So that should've been his reality check. Ever since then he has stopped two people so yea... he's riding the wave right now. And beating Soliman would get his courage/confidence up even more.

He's been out of the ring for 8 months. He's realized that he can't be as active as he was in his prime. I guess he's waiting for someone to finish him.

Lmao so this was Solimans big American fight that was so important that he couldn't fight GGG?

Haymon must be paying him a ridiculous amount because Solimon knows he's being brought over to hand over that belt to Taylor.

If Showtime buys this, it's a new low for them.

I couldnt bring myself to post in the recent "top 3 omgnooooo" thread because my list turned out to be all JT moments. And not a day later, this. LOL

[Gods We Faked]

I think Taylor can pull it off. Hopefully he wins and retires as champion. I would probably literally cry if he signed to fight GGG.
