Jermain Taylor's time is up and I can't wait to say 'good riddance'.

NTM, he still think Judah is some force at WW...atsch

 

If Taylor ekes out another questionable decision should we start a petition to get him to officially change his nickname from "Bad Intentions" to "Bad Decisions"?

 

if taylor wins amstadam better STFU with his predictions,

 

Unfortunately for you I see JT winning this fight.

 

Jermain is no joke & this isn't gonna be an ez fight for Kelly...but eventually I still feel he'll rock Taylor & once he does...its over.

 

Okay then, I'll mention a different mediocre SMW that has no connection to Calzaghe, since I already mentioned Librado Andrade..

Alejandro Berrio would KTFO Jermain Taylor. I am not so sure that Taylor could even defeat Markus Beyer, this is the level of where he is at currently and his chin is going to be exposed for what it is. I know that Taylor can't KO even a glass jawed larger man like Beyer, considering he can't KO average chinned LMW's even when landing his best shots and Taylor's defence is ****.

Let's go for the LHW's that would easily defeat Taylor then -

Chad Dawson, Glen Johnson, Clinton Woods, Szolt Erdei, Adrian Diaconu, Paul Briggs and so on and so on.

I lost all credibility with you, I don't care at all, when Pavlik knocks Taylor out in 5 or less we'll reflect back on this entire discussion.

 

Well, he's superior to Joshua Clottey, who everyone was high on right after the Corrales fight, even though I tried to enlighten them on the issue that he's limited, not a hitter and defensively flawed.

Then the last fight rolls around and he struggles greatly with some moderate pressure from a light hitting journeyman, who had been starched in 1 by Chop Chop Corley and some people realise that Clottey is in no way an elite fighter.

I merely stated that Judah would defeat Clottey, which he would, 100% and by KO at that.

 

CLottey needs to go to 154. He is coming in on fight night at 170 for 147 lb fights. I believe he will be better and do better in that division. Time to make the jump. :deal

 

I wanna see how well Taylor will do against bigger guys. If he beats Pavlik, he should definately move up.

 

I couldn't disagree more with this assesment. How did he beat Hopkins and draw with a fighter like Winky Wright if he has no ability. Even Ouma and Spinks are still top fighters. He has proven many times now to be a top level fighter, and with Manny Steward in his corner, you know he will not trade with Pavlik. Taylor will box to a decision win, as Pavlik will try to just walk in through punches and will get caught far too often. Everyone is once again hyping the puncher. Pavlik has almost no head movement, is not quick, and stands very upright and easy to hit. He is tough as nails for sure, but it won't be enough against the quicker and technically better Jermain. Jermain Taylor won't stand there like Miranda, who had no ideahow to punch off the back foot. He will move use his jab, and make it very difficult for Pavlik to close the distance.

 

Amsterdam i can see some of the points you are making. Taylor is sloppy in close quarters, and does drop that lead hand which could lead to problems. However, I think that Steward is a GREAT trainer for a guy like Taylor, who at times I think can be mentally weak as a fighter. I believe they will come in with a gameplan to move and use the jab, and I have no doubt that if he does this he will outbox Pavlik and take the win. If he doesn't come in with a gameplan, and isn't focused and decides to trade with Pavlik it will most probably spell doom for Taylor.

 

I agree with some points, highly disagree on others.

Taylor's resume KO4 Calzagh'e resume... :yep

 

Bika and Andrade beating Taylor? Whats next, rob Calloway winning HW gold? :tired

 

Again with the guys weight classes above where Taylor sits currently.

What point are you making, oh wait, you have no point, because you're clueless.

Pavlik might beat Taylor, but it doesn't mean Taylor isn't a good fighter.

You have no understanding of how styles make fights, and how different fighters will have different outcomes with the same guy.

Just because Taylor didn't KO a Spinks who was on the retreat the whole damn fight doesn't mean he wouldn't destroy Judah who comes at him.

Styles make fights, and you my friend are a complete and utter moron.

 

I have no understand of how styles make fights? Then please explain why I said Pavlik is just a decent fighter(it's obvious that Taylor is the greater talent and I have said so), but a big pressuring MW with a punch and that Taylor cannot handle pressure fighting styles as shown from the Ouma fight.

This is picking Pavlik based on styles and intangibles.

Perhaps read my material next time.
