Comments Thread For: Sam Soliman-Jermain Taylor Set For October 4th

[TLC8]

Another Belt-Holder Turned Weasel; Too Good To Be a True??!

They want to talk about Taylor's wins over Bhop in 2005... 9 years ago!!! Would Taylor like to fight Hopkins today???? At 50???! I bet not! LOL!

This is just unbelievable, Gennady is the Middleweight Champion. Cotto & Soliman have a piece of the pie and NEITHER are interested in fighting GGG, in unification fights to see in fact who the best of the best is! They'd rather chase a defense here and there, make a paycheck here and there, and tap dance around the real test in Gennady.

Taylor is a horrible choice. He's allegedly ranked 15th??! Then if you don't want Gennady and please don't insult fans with "how close you were to GGG".... No way Taulor makes more sense. IN FACT, forget GGG, you could have fought QUILLIN! You could have fought Macklin!!! There are 10-12 other guys ranked higher than Taylor, more deserving. Just a real joke. This is the problem with 6 Boxing Organizations in each division, all offering up a title to represent them, and fights use that to fill the bank account; no real pride anymore to see who the best of the best is.

Wowww! The shiat came way out of left field, anyways jt has been on a lil bit of a run and this fight is very winnable for him.. if jt wins i expect ggg to start calling him out...anyways is the stevens/n'dam fight a mandatory for the ibf?

You blind fools. The master Haymon plan is right in front of you.

Soliman had like 16 KO's in 50-something fights. Chances are Taylor can go 12, get a decision if he wins or not. We got ourselves a new 160 pound champ. Al Haymon then makes Taylor vs Quillin in a unification bout. Quillin beats a "name" and collects two out of the four major belts....without ever fighting anyone good. Thank you Al Haymon! Wait until Big Dunn reads this awesome news

Soliman only looks like an idiot if he loses. How has Taylor looked though? Can't find his recent fights.

What if this happened though? Quillin loses to Korobov then fights Golovkin on Cotto/Canelo undercard, Taylor wins and unifies with Jacobs. WBA orders regular vs supper down the line.... finally calrity.

But seriously, lol if Soliman thinks this'll be an easy fight and easy money. Better at least be making a half a million

Jermaine Taylor is with Al Haymon. If he wins he ain't fighting on HBO against GGG. He'll be fed to Quillin.

Pretty sickening stuff right here. He could get really hurt against Peter.

If memory serves me correct he was dropped late by Caleb Truax who is a decent fighter.

That's the only thing I can find, the KD. He was caught by a pretty decent right hand. Caleb though is a guy who isn't that active in the ring... and it's probably because he has trouble making weight. So sometime he'll fight in spurts.

Korobov could throw a wrench into Haymon's plans (curse those mandatories!). But the WBA will always remain fully ******ed. If anything they'll just add more "champions" lol

[ИATAS]

Whoa, Taylor is a bigger payday than GGG.


Espinoza kind of implies it's not going to be on Showtime. Then where? Is ESPN doing boxing again?

What***39;s that got to do with me? "@snboxing: Taylor has had a brain bleed. This fight with Soliman could have the makings of a tragedy."

Espinoza probably hasn't been notified by his boss Al Haymon yet. He's in the dark.

Once the purse bid is finished for Quillin on the 18th, this could be the co-feature to Quillin vs Korobov.
