    Bernard Hopkins to train you :yep

    I'm drunk and rewatching Taylor/Pavlik I and am I alone in thinking that if he had any Mayweather training his dumb country ass he would be UNSTOPPABLE????? I mentioned Hopkins because he's retiring soon and that would make a touching story :lol: Also Jermain has the talent, just needs the schooling and Hopkins's style could work for him :deal

    Good head movement, but it seems he just doesn't know how to implement it. It seems like he was taught one side of boxing....offense, but never taught the other two sides...defense and strategy.

    I dont think Emmanuel Steward had anything to do with his losses. I dont think the Mayweathers can change anything. Taylor just DOESN'T listen to his corner.

    No no I'm not blaming Steward. I'm just saying watching him fight, and how he can move and box. I feel if anyone is "taylor made" :yep for the Mayweather schooling...its him. He already carries his left low, just doesn't know how to shoulder roll yet :lol:

    Taylor is frustrating at times beacause he has it all, everything you need to be one of greatest fighters of his generation, he just seems to lose his composure and lose control any time he gets tired or gets hit big(in addition to backing up to the ropes and dropping his hands)

    Emmanuel Steward is not his really the ideal trainer for Taylor (manny works well with robotic boxers and that's ok). The same way he was not the ideal trainer for DLH. I agree though Taylor would probably be better off with a Roah or Maywweatehr Sr. but the Nelson is fine by me. This was further proven because he performed better in the Pavlik rematch.
