Washed up Jermain Taylor vs Sam Soliman

Question

How is Jermain Taylor still fighting ?

How is ESPN budget allow paying him $1,000,000 for this fight ?

How did they convince an Australian belt holder to come fight in Mississippi?

So many questions. So little sense any of this makes.

On that note. Sam Soliman isn't much of a puncher so i DOUBT he knocks out Taylor. Jermain will be the house fighter with Al Haymon having the judges in his pocket.

Jermain Taylor At +250 is quite the Value Bet

Al Haymon is the only reason Taylor got this fight (he def didn&#x27;t earn it.Don&#x27;t think Jermain has much left, but you bring up a good point that if it is close he could get the gift dec.If they put him in with GGG he will get hurt. Although Haymon will probably milk it will some Arthur Abraham type opponents.

You have to keep in mind he JUST forced Quillen to vacate the WBO and turn down a career high $1.4 million payday

He has NO plans to put him in with GGG but that IBF will have to do for his in-house plans. Probably make a Danny Jacobs, Peter Qullien, Jermain Taylor useless tourney..

If that happens. I give Danny Jacobs the edge in every matchup.

Soliman&#x27;s style is all wrong for Taylor....he is a mover/ pittypadder who racks up points.  Spinks exposed this vs a much better Taylor years ago.  You dont need to be a big puncher to beat Taylor, there are many other ways.This is boxing though and 1 punch can change anything.  That Taylor right hand though have not seen it in a long time causing damage unless it was a  2013 taxi driver
