He sparked out a guy who had already been KO'd 11 times. Not sure what you meant by the 2nd question....he might get another championship fight at some point, but it won't be that soon. And I really don't see him being competitive on that level anymore.
He looked great against an over matched opponent, his overhand right has improved tremendously, and still posses that deadly jab, I think Sergio needs to avoid this man at all cost He touted Haymon's name after the match and said he has nothing to worry about with that classic Taylor smile we remembered, his shot at redemption against a champ is coming soon:bbb
He was fighting a can. The thing is though, who actually cares about the guy he brutally KO'd? When Taylor gets KO'd, all I see are messages of sympathy. When a journeyman gets KO'd by that same fighter, nobody gives a **** about the journeyman. The same thing can be applied to Roy Jones Jr. and the numerous occasions when he has had his Glass Jaw shattered.
The guy he beat was starched in 2 rounds by a Vernon Forrest (R.I.P) in like 2005 if my memory serves me.
Taylor was never that good to begin with, he actually lost twice to Hopkins and to Wright, but got HBO-giftwrapped decisions. It is only a matter of time before this overrated fraud has his glass jaw exposed again.
For the most part i disagree with your over the top statements, but in this case i agree. Although i do respect Taylor for getting very good fighters, he did get giftwrapped decisions and just was not as good to begin with.
He fought at a good time with good competition and looked good against the best, theres no shame and looking shaky here and there, his problems were more so conditioning and a shitty trainer but I guess those come hand in hand He bested or was at least even with 2 lock hof'ers, whoever thinks Taylor wasn't that good doesn't know **** about boxing
What if we think he looked bad and got gift decisions? Maybe you dont know **** about boxing? When people say he wasn't that good to begin with they mean he was not the future atg that HBO hyped him up to be. From a objective viewpoint compared to the masses he was a good even belt holder class fighter. But he was not even remotely great nor did he have great potential.
