I find it hilarious that people think Taylor can have success at SMW.

:good And mine

 

I hope you are right, even though Taylor is my favourite at MW it would prove a small loss if it meant this forum got rid of Blocky, but I still don't think he will keep his end of the bargain, how can you be sure he gets an IP-ban? Personally, I think Taylor will win this and perhaps even stop Pavlik who is pretty easy to hit and have already been floored as a pro as far as I know.

 

Holy ****....When did Amsterdam become Bigtime9/Domngo? atsch
​

What a joke...

 

The key to this bout is Taylor's ability to handle pressure, which is non-existent. Taylor could not floor or stop Ouma, who showcased an average chin at 154, at 160, Pavlik has taken bombs that exceed Taylor's hitting ability.

Pavlik will just keep coming and throwing a high workrate and Taylor will fold and get KOed. Easy.

 

Don't compare me to slime.

 

If it looks like a duck....

 

I'll be honest with you. I don't like Taylor's chances at SMW at all. I'd give Cory Spinks a better shot.

In Taylor we have a guy who:

1. Has overrated power. His power was established off of blown up jr.welters and welterweights. And even then he could not put away alot of these guys.

2. Very limited skills and a bad listener. He had Manny Stewart screaming at him and still he wouldn't listen. Remember Vivian Harris? Exactly.

3. Wins off of heart, youth and energy. Nobody can take that from Taylor. He does well because of his heart to persevere through difficulty and has the youth and energy to do so.

The problem is youth, heart and energy are not going to get him to the top at SMW. There are alot of young guys there who are well schooled who do not fight 6 rounds of 12 like Bernard Hopkins. They all have very good punching power, and some have blinding speed like Joe Calzaghe. Kessler for his part is a very patient puncher who punches with amazing accuracy. And now Edison Miranda is at SMW as well...

I just don't see it. Really don't.

 

:rofl :rofl

 

I find it hilarious that you are obsessed with Jermain Taylor.:rofl What the hell, did he beat you up in highschool or something?

 

He isn't. Taylor is current news due to his upcoming bout, one that he is likely to lose.

Amsterdam can't stand hypejobs or boxing fans who subscribe to the smoke-and-mirrors surrounding them. He is equally harsh on guys like Khan and Margarito. If either of them had megafights in the next month, Ams would be letting just as much air out of their fans' tires as Taylor's.

 

The Margarito apologists and Khan apologists had little to work with. Taylor apologists will spin Hopkins and Wright as his competition to justify further **** ups, I bet if Pavlik blows him out, they will still rate Jermain Taylor, while saying 'Pavlik is good, but not P4P, he just had Taylor's number', all the meanwhile still admitting Taylor to the top 20 P4P just for being competitive with Hopkins and Wright.

Then they think that he can move to SMW and defeat better bigger fighters than Pavlik, such as Bute and this class. The absurdity that I am stating here is what we have to live with.

These are the types of views that create P4P rankings and pass judgement on fighters.

 

I find it hilarious that someone thinks that a fighter who has two wins over Hopkins, a draw with Wright, and both of those guys are now fighting OVER super middleweight can't have any success at super middleweight.

We're talking about a measley eight pounds on a big framed guy who stands 6 feet 1 inches tall for a division that has loads of guys who will be looking up at him and looking a helluva lot smaller.

 

Only flaw there is, Taylor is NOT in the same category as Margarito or Kahn. He's proven himself in the ring already. Basically he, and Zakman, hate this guy because HBO likes him and they think he's lost every close fight he's had.

He also claims Guzman is greater then Taylor and that Joe C and Kessler beats many ATG's as he's listed.

And he says China Joe Hand is one of the best posters here. Nuff said. atsch

 

I'm not a Taylor fan but this bashing of the man at 160 needs to stop. The guy has one of the best resumes in the sport. Taylor could very easily be successful at 168 he has the frame and skills to do so. I don't think he would beat Calzaghe but who does? He could beat one of the other belt holders though.

 

You must selectively read.

Calzaghe does beat many of the ATG's. Just because they are ATG's does not mean that they are held to a pedastool that only other cemented ATG's can knock them off of.

Kessler is a nice evolution of the boxer-puncher european style, he is excellent and has also shown intangibles. Where am I incorrect to pick him off of styles over a guy like Nunn, who is a lesser fighter in terms of technical skill than Kessler, which I have compared video footage. Or Hagler, jumping up a division against a larger man and at a tremendous styles disadvantage.

Or the always open to the jab James Toney?

This is not idiocy for me to make these statements. You have no researched it, you just take in whatever you are fed.

That he is.
