| Jones has an interest in Taylor
The bad part about it, Jermain Taylor and I had a date for September. HBO gave him a pay-perview [date ] to fight me. They agreed to this a long time before I fought Anthony Hanshaw [on July 14 ]. " They said 'Naw, we're going to fight Kelly Pavlik first.' I said 'You are making a mistake, Lou. He [Taylor ] almost lost his last six fights.'” Jones, a 39-year-old fighter from Pensacola, Fla., first won the middleweight world title with a 1993 unanimous decision over Bernard Hopkins. He added a supermiddleweight world title in 2004, a unanimous decision over James Toney. Jones kept moving up, knocking out Montell Griffin to win the light heavyweight title in 1997. He held that title for seven years, until being knocked out by Antonio Tarver in 2004. During that time Jones made the unprecedented move from middleweight to heavyweight when he beat John Ruiz to win the WBA heavyweight title in 2003.
