Jermaine Taylor's could have put Pavlik away!!

But he didn't :good

 

Coulda, Shoulda, and Woulda: the ******* sons of failure.

 

This was so obvious.

 

Shame on him for not finishing him.

 

Almost doen't count. You should put Froch's name up there too.

 

yeah i mean... jt definitely had what it takes.... maybe that fight was bad timing... up until that point taylor never really fought a guy who could fire back... he built his name off beating slick fighters but the first time he met a big time banger he cracked under pressure

maybe with a little more experience the outcome woudl have been different.... but i guess in seeing froch you could also say it wouldn't...

i just think in general when the waters get deep jermain taylor panics

 

Pavlik has pretty goodpowers of recuperation, he actually pressuerd Tayloat the end of the round. Taylor might have scored a second knockdown, but Pavlik is tough.

Besides, wouldn't it have required Taylor to be a different fighter than the one he actually is? So in reality, is Taylor actually capable of taking his time, stay cool when the heat is risin in the ring? I don't think so. Taylor has athletic talent, heart but very little ring intelligence. There is this idea that a fighter could just change his mental makeup and perhaps some can, like Wlad. But generally, this is a talent in itself, something Taylor doesn't have.

 

willimas will be saying coulda shoulda woulda after his next fight too.

this is the dumbest thread Taylor lost both fights against Pavlik end of story

 

I have no time for "what ifs" or excuses in boxing. The result of each fight is all that matters. The only thing I can't stand is a robbery, other than that let the chips fall where they may.
