Does the Jermain Taylor apologism ever end?

But you see, I do this for many big fights, because some fights are evident to heavily favour one of the fighters, this is no exception.

Most of the time, I am correct, if I am wrong this time, I agknowledge that the amount of crow that I will eat is going to be some of the biggest in boxing forum history for this hate campaign, but I also accept that and will eat it with salt and pepper added.

 

Does it show a lack of knowledge picking MAB over Pacqauio? You agreed that it does to an extent.

This is no different, nightmare style for Taylor with all intangibles favouring Pavlik. Just both are prime, where Pac is prime and MAB is not, but the difference that makes it a good example is that MAB is an ATG with immense experience and Taylor is a B level overrated scumbag.

I have never said that this was some 'special pick'. I said it shows a lack of boxing knowledge that they aren't catching on to what's an 'easy pick', that anybody should get outright given the factors.

 

Chin, power, stamina, mentality, workrate.

 

Do you know what is really hilarious?

I don't even hate the guy that bad, it's just amusing how you all fall into this everytime. He will lose and he is highly, highly overrated and there will be a 'serious' natured review thread of the entire situation that will be highly detailed.

He IS a decent fighter, but that's it, just decent. Had a stylistic advantage over an aging Hopkins but couldn't capitalise, had a size and strength advantage over Wright but could not capitalise even when he had the tools and physical advantages to beat Winky as seen when he was having success at points in the bout, then the Ouma and Spinks bouts really showed my assessment of the guy prior to them happening.

Now he fights a hard hitting, heavily determind pressure fighter, it's disaster for him.

Anyway, I'm not nuts, I really don't even care to the degree I have stated and I haven't bought that bottle of wine, but this is an 'easy' pick, it's right in everyone's face and no you all aren't stupid for picking Taylor, because Pavlik is average otherwise.

However, the ones who are 'heavily' favouring Taylor are lacking in general boxing knowledge when it comes to styles and intangibles and what to look for in picking a fight going from a technical stand point.

But, no more Taylor threads until the 'review' thread, this is getting boring.

 

Chin, power, stamina, mentality and workrate are intangibles that a fighter brings, all of them. Other intangibles include 'heart', 'hunger', 'strength' etc.

Please pay attention.
