The hate Jermain "Bad Intentions" Taylor is getting lately is B******T (video added)

I agree...peoples memories on this forum are indeed very poor...sometimes i think most people on here havent even seen the fighters they are trying to degrade

 

He struggled mightly against upper level comp, and was put in against them a little too soon in his career.

After 3 violent KO's, he has paid the price.

He one had promise, but no more.

He's done. :deal

 

Athletically-gifted but doesn't fight smart enough of the time. Whether it's from nerves from being on the big stage or he's just in general an idiot when fighting the best, it's still apparent.

 

Jermain Taylor is a great fighter. He deserves the respect of every boxing fans. He fought everyone, didn't duck anyone. I hope he gets back in the ring and exposes some over-hyped fighters.

 

He was a very good fighter in his heyday, whether that heyday was short or not, he was a top quality fighter.

He had his time then lost, lost again to the same guy and then perhaps wasnt the same.
2 more brutal kos to Froch and Abraham have signalled the end, but it doesnt mean you have to forget what hes done.

Hes had a great resume and a good career.

 

hopefully he has somethin left, but it's not lookin good

 

Many had him losing against BHOP and Winky, and he had alot of hype around him that was underserved.

He was a decent fighter, but he was deeply flawed and never had the stuff to make it at the top level.

The fact that the young fighters he faced in thier primes all KO'ed him in violent fashion also did not help matters.

Why do I believe this JT support has to do with who is in your avatar? :think

 

And what makes him "great"?

Im interested to know....

 

Taylor has some great skills...not HAD...HAS. And his skills would give just about anyone a run for their money. His biggest problem is, and always was, he fades in the later rounds. While it may be ok to fade against the likes of Hopkins or Winky, because they are generally not aggressive nor are known for their power, it is catastrophic against punchers such as Pavlik, Froch, and Abraham.

I blame his management for the way they handled his career after his loss to Pavlik. He clearly outboxed Pavlik in their first fight but began to fade, and Pavlik, albeit pretty one dimensional, caught up to him. The first mistake was jumping right into a rematch thinking they could repeat what happened in the 2nd round.

After 3 brutal knockouts, it's sad that Taylor may never be the same again. He should have been given a chance against softer opponents before going straight into a rematch with Pavlik and help build on his stamina. In addition, his confidence was destroyed and never got a chance to fully recuperate.
