Does the Jermain Taylor apologism ever end?

Why are people knocking him?? Gee, it might have something to do with those THREE GIFT DECISIONS In A Row he got against Hopkins and Wright.atsch

Some of us don't like when powerful TV networks use their influence to take titles away from ATG champs, and give 'em to their latest hype-job.:fire

Saturday, those wrongs will be righted by Kelly Pavlik! :happy

I don't understand why people think HBO has got so much power. I really doubt they fix fights. If they did some some, why would you get results like De La Hoya losing to Mayweather. The biggest draw in boxing losing to a guy who can't draw flies to warm ****. Surely HBO would want to fix this one?

at the end of the day, all three fights were close. I scored the two Hopkins fights both to Taylor and had the Wright fight going to Winky. All three were fights that could have gone either way.

Let's cut the crap about HBO fixing bouts. It's nonsense. So many fights have gone against them in recent years, but three wins for Taylor, which could have gone either way, means they fix fights? Rubbish.

cory spinks and kassim ouma, when there was a rematch with winky, or a unification with abraham or castillejo (before he got beat by sturm)?

 

If you're calling light-hitting welterweights and junior middleweights the "hardest competition" for a middleweight fighter, we just have different definition of "hard competition," I guess!:yep

 

the only problem I have with JT is his craptacular performance against Spinks. . . other than that, theres nothing to hate on.

 

This morning I sent a "Good luck" email to Kelly Pavlik. By this afternoon I already had a response. With less then a week to the biggest fight of his career to acknowledge a fan? I'm impressed!

 

Amsterdam has no clue as to where ***** street is and Zakman doesn't know the definition of gift.

(If anyone was ever on ***** street, what does that say about Bernard if he can't finish him off?)

 

This version of Bernard your 100% correct. BUT!!!! Young Hopkins was....for lack of better words....an Executioner.

 

Like I said, quit gioving money to that network that is hyping Taylor. Quit being a part of the problem and be a part of thw solution. BOYCOTT HBO if you hate HBO boxing so much you take it out on the fighter who ISN'T doing anything but fighting top guys. :deal

 

No need for the personal vitriol, Blocky.

You can disagree with the guy without starting in on his mamma.

(It just hurts your own status on the forum)

 

He hasn't really fought any hard punchers, Spinks and Winky???:fight

 

Huh? Pavlik handled Miranda's power with no problem yet Taylor will KO him? Come on now thats the worst prediction you could make. Your opinion pretty much means nothing now...atsch
