Comments Thread For: Jermain Taylor has four month voluntary window with IBF

Taylor v quillin or Jacobs.

Im thinking most likely quillin. Quillin vs jacobs at brooklyn is the fight they/Al Haymon have been wanting since its a "money" fight.

Cong**** to Taylor for the win. Hopefully he gets at least one more good payday before calling it quits. He is clearly a shell of his former self. Solimans bum leg and inability to get past Taylors hesistant jab was what the fight boiled down too. It's good that he is with Al Haymon. At least he'll get the true lion share of the money he earns fighting for however much longer that will be.

He'll have to use the money from this fight to pay his lawyer.

Is anyone going to acknowledge Taylor beat a one legged fighter?! All of the 'knockdowns' were pushes or slips due to Soliman's injury!!!!!!!!! This is ridiculous everyone is praising Taylor like he just beat King Kong WAKE UP PEOPLE! He was getting schooled for the first 5 rounds!!!!!!!!!

I was there watching it live. He wasn't getting schooled, he was dealing with a freakazoid boxer the best anyone could... and he didn't gas out doing it. Soloman isn't even a boxer IMO. That rattletrap excuse for boxing is b.s.

And Taylor beats N'Dam next fight. All in all I'd say a great resurrection of a career.

Oh look, Peter Quillin is now ranked in the top 15 (#9) of the IBF!!


Taylor has his court date next Tues (15th) and we'll hopefully find out then. If he goes away, N'Dam will probably be fighting either Martin Murray (Monaco in March) or David Lemieux (Montreal) for the vacant title (either way N'Dam will be able to speak French freely). If not, expect to see Taylor-Quillin in February.

Meantime, Chudinov's promoter Hyrunov has been trying to negotiate with Haymon/GB for the Jacobs fight in December (before it goes purse bid). Hyrunov has said it's been very difficult and likely they don't want the fight.

I would love to see Jermain Taylor vs Cotto !!!please make it hapend!!

[Tobi.G]

Cong**** to Bad Intentions.... The only boxer to beat Hopkins twice. After this comeback win, if Taylor is not in your top 20 best boxers of all time ....you may not know a lot about boxing. Heck, I say defend the title once then go get Hopkins a third time.

Hopkins will be history after the Kovalev fight.

Taylor vs quillen, Jacobs, coming soon to Barclays center

[Sugar Adam Ali]

He should rematch winky wright and Cory spinks
