Jermain Taylor...what a terrible champion..

finally someone understands!

 

I did answer your question.

 

He won both Hopkins fights and I am a die hard B-Hop fan and don't like Taylor. The Winky fight I had either a draw or 7-5 Winky so it definately was not a robbery, he looked bad against Ouma but still won without question, and I haven't seen the Spinks fight yet. I am sick of people saying he is china cause if he was then he would not have went 24 rounds with Hopkins. Has Taylor ever even been down in his carrer?

 

I am also pointing this out in another taylor post:

What can he do about it that the judges everytime score it in favor of him!?
Hate the judges (vs hopkins twice, spinks, wright) not taylor. It's annoying, but it's not fair that taylor gets ''hated'' when a judge is not judging correctly..

Hope you guys get my point with my limited english

 

Taylor is a good champ who gets bashed on here far too often imo. He's done everything a good champ should do, and that is to fight the best in his weight class. His skills are definitely overrated, though he should have enough in him to beat Pavlik at this stage of his career, who is certainly no P4Per himself.

 

I think Taylor is a good champ, but not P4P material.

 

As if you didnt.

 

I lost respect for Taylor after the Spinks fight.

 

Remember Spinks beat Taylor as well, each one of those punches Spinks landed per round, all 6 of them, they are scored times 4 because he came up in weight.. so he dominated Taylor.

I mean, ****.. 12 x 6 x 4 = TOTAL DOMINATION BY SPINKS.

 

Walked through Winky? I seem to recall before the Wright fight, the majority opinion was that Taylor would get thoroughly outboxed by the technically brilliant Winky.
Some even predicted a shutout a la the Felix Trinidad fight.

However, once the fight was over and ended up being very close, suddenly Taylor is ****?

Granted, Taylor's last two fights have been very unsatisfying. But, now that he is fighting Pavlik a lot of questions should be answered.

But, it would appear it's a given for some that Taylor is going to get destroyed, so if he actually end up winning up the fight, I'm sure the praise for Jermain will be high since it's a fight he supposedly has very little chance of winning. (at least that's what some fans are saying)

 

Anyone who thinks Spinks won that fight has something against Taylor.

Jermain is one of the truly "good" guys in boxing these days.

 

If this many people have to sit and give credibility to taylor then obviously there are alot of people thinking taylor isnt as gifted as they seem. Taylors a good fighter--why sit and rationalize on why he is unless you see a major flaw?

 

That's rather flawed logic. You can start a thread about any belt holder in boxing history and title it "<insert name here>...what a terrible champion" and you'll get tons of posts rushing to defend said fighter.
That doesn't necessarily mean that they're defending the fighter because they are worried he might not be as gifted as some think. They're likely defending that fighter because the title of the thread is so inflammatory and the accusations are so biased.

 

That's too much.. Taylor fought Spinks who isn't a real MW, but he's definitely not ducking or running from nobody, he wanted Hopkins, he gave Hopkins a rematch and won the rematch in my view (B-hops fan). Now he takes on Pavlik on our demand, we can't really start bitching about Abraham or Sturm just yet, because WE demanded Pavlik and WE got that fight.
As a fight fan, Taylor can bore me to death, but he's not ducking or avoiding nobody. I think Pavlik will win, but I am not too sure.
