How Many Times Does Taylor Have to Get Exposed......

He did good against Hopkins though, and Hopkins is pretty good, no ?

 

Because Hopkins fights at a very slow pace. Hes over 40 afterall. Taylor just doesnt have the stamina to hang in there with a tough power punching fighter that can apply a lot of pressure. His power falls off a cliff and he becomes a lot easier to hit. He did box well in the beginning, but Abraham kept a lot of pressure on him.

 

He didnt get a gift against Hopkins those were close fights, he got wins over B Hop he did well against Winky, I dont think he was exposed in those fights, those fights brought out the best Jermain Taylor.....

 

You don't beat HOFer Bernard Hopkins twice and take a draw with Winky Wright if your not a top fighter.

No one said Taylor was amazing, we all knew that after the Pavlik fight.

Most peoples opinions of him is that he is a very good fighter who gases out at the end of a fight.

 

So you needed him to get KO'd before you could make a correct assessment? I bet you were on the hype train before this.

I agree with Zakman, but Taylor is an okay fighter, and he did pass against AA in my book.

 

He is pretty good, but you are right , he is very overrated... but He won ALOT of rounds against Pavlik, Froch and AA ,, even though he got KTFO 3 times....

Taylor is willng to trade with big punchers , he doesn't run... it has led to him getting hurt bad...

But the guy fought a pretty good version of Hopkins and did better than most do... he isn't that bad. But I agree.. has been overrated .

 

You couldn't wait at least a few days until Taylor is cleared of having permanent brain damage, could you, *******? You had to kick him on the floor.

 

How many losses do the fighters he got Ko'd by have..............a combined 1 loss

There is no shame in losing to the current WBC middleweight and supermiddleweight champs and a current undefeated supermiddleweight contender and former middleweight champion.

He is a credit to the sport and doesn't deserve to be disrespected by anyone on this forum.

 

You're completely ruling out the possibility that the first time Pavlik KOed Taylor could have had some very serious lasting effects on him physically.
JT was never even DOWN before Pavlik touched him up - think about it.

 

link, if you think about it, the combined record (at the time of the fight) of Taylor's opponents is 85(73)-0. that's 85% KO ratio

 

I'm not saying you can't criticize the man...i'm just saying there's a difference between critique and disprespect. Jermain doesn't deserve disrespect with his performances, especially in his losses...I wish more American fighters had his heart.

 

The above post is wrong. It's the fighters he's been fighting. TAYLOR SHOULD NOT FIGHT HUGE PUNCHERS WITH BIG STAMINA. This kind of fighter will take him down everytime.
