Jermain Taylor all class

Taylors best wins weren't even wins? What about Reid and Hopkins?

Seriously, when all you've got to boast about is a disputed decision over a 43 year old who put you on your arse with a nothing punch then it's time to shut the **** up.

 

Stats are stats, I can judge for myself what I see in a boxing ring. You sound like you are just reading off boxrec, because whichever version Taylor fought he didn't do it more convincingly. He ****in lost

And Taylor ain't a southpaw, which confirms you don't what the hell you are talking about and have probably ain't seen any of these damn fights atsch

 

True, but it is a big club ....

 

Funny I was convinced that Taylor was a southpaw, **** knows where I got that from. Despite that he does hold certain advantages over Calslappy, and yes I watched Taylor from the beginning, no boxrec here. If I'd used boxrec I'd have known he was orthodox - think, McFly, think

Fact is that Calslappy looked far worse against a 43 year old Hopkins than Taylor did against a 40 year old. Not much to go on I guess but if they fought tomorrow I'd pick Taylor, who has a far more devastating right hand than Hopkins, who floored Calslappy with a nothing punch.

 

i understand.

 

So devastating he hasn't knocked any ****er out? He couldn't knock Cory ****ing Spinks and Kassim 'Wet Dream For A Middleweight' Ouma out

So, what is so deadly about his right hand again?

I hate that old ***** Mary, but he had sneaky power, more than Taylor. He would have ****ed up B level junior middleweights like he was back in prison and they were his bitches.

 

Again, so name me one significant fighter that Calzaghe has knocked out?

You can't, can you?

Yes, Taylor hasn't KO'd anyone of note either, but at least he put Pavlik on ***** st for an entire round and bamboozled Hopkins for 8 rounds with his skills. Calslappy got knocked down in the opening seconds V Hopkins and well that's about it really, that's his claim to fame.

Also, for every bad fighter Jermain hasn't KO'd I could name you 10 that Joe hasn't, so don't go down that road :hi:

 

Yes but I'm not the one throwing words out like "devastating right hand", so its not really me that has to justify my claims

I don't need to go down the road of who Calzaghe has knocked out. He has 45 wins for no loss, beat Hopkins more clearly than Taylor despite the knockdown (Taylor didnt ****in win), beat Kessler, Eubank, Lacy

In comparison Taylor's resume is actually losses to Hopkins, a very debateable decision to Winky-Wright, KTFO and outboxed by Kelly Pavlik (how the **** do you get outboxed by Pavlik? :rofl) and 2 uninspiring showings against JUNIOR middleweights :rofl

Not that resumes win you fights, skills win you fights, which Joe has infinitely more. Taylor is a great athlete, not a great boxer, there are very few attributes he compares favourably to Joe Calzaghe :yep

 

Jermain Taylor is one of the classiest boxers out there. I can't wait until he makes his return which I hope won't have to wait too much longer.

 

:rofl nice

 

I really like this guy in general. I think he can succeed at a "comeback" if his heart is in it. One of the better guys in mainstream boxing, but he didn't develop as well as we would have liked.

He is a clear contender in a post Calzaghe world.

I agree, Taylor can't do the doggy paddle in the ring quite like Joe can

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl

 

Taylor fought better in his losing efforts against Pavlik than he did in most of his recent fights. He is a world class fighter. I'd love to see him beat up Miranda.

 

That explains everything.
