    No not in the second fight, he could have sparked conspiracy by pulling the race card or saying I was clearly robbed but he didnt, he geve Pavlik his propers.

    True. I always thought he was class anyway. JT is a good guy.

    Wow, you're looking for trouble :p ... such sacrilege ...

    on ESB .... JC is a god while JT is a bum

    Fortunately, JT should eventually or inevitably meet up with the best at 168 and they'll learn he always had what it takes to be extremely competitive with the very best at 168 and may well have what it takes to go all the way ... Calzaghe OTOH won't be fighting Jermaine Taylor ... too strong and athletic ...

    Jermain Taylor ain't doing **** at 168. Guys a fraud, his best wins weren't even wins and he struggles with ****ing Spinks and Ouma and we are supposed to believe he can step up to 168 and win :lol:

    Funny thing is, Pavlik is built on beating this guy

    Probably the way he was raised. Somewhere in one of my old posts you will find a quote about Jermain's mother waiting for Kelly as he exited the stage after the press conference and thanked him for being respectful of her son. (Pavlik NEVER talked trash about him before the fights either and used words like "great champion". This may be why Lowe is getting ticked at Lockett. He feels the champion deserves respect just like Kelly paid to Jermain)

    I also would love to see Taylor/Calzaghe. Styles make fights and I think he may actually match up better against Joe than Kelly would. I think it would be an eye opener. NEVER going to happen thouhg. :( I think Taylor lost steam at 160 because of weight issues. That is why he looked much better at 168.

    guys who get gifts against ickle spinks are the future at 168.

    Right. He was done at 160 soon after he won it IMHO. Weight was already an issue. I think that is why he was fighting some of the opponents he was at the end.

    I don't know what's so laughable about it to be honest. If you look at the stats Taylor has two wins over a better version of Hopkins that Calslappy fought, has fought better comp overall and holds height and reach advantage and is also a southpaw. Calzaghe has never KO'd an elite fighter and has struggled with some average guys, so why is it so funny to suggest that Taylor could beat him :huh

    No way in hell would Calslappy take on Taylor....he's got the ability and will to fight, and he's young enough to carry it off for a start.

    It amazes me that the Calslappy nuthuggers laugh this off just because Jermaine has been beaten and Joe hasn't. There's a reason for that, and the reason goes by the name of Frank Warren.
