Well he hasn't accomplished much being the champ at the division after the Bhops and Winkly fight so got to fight his mandatory now and if succesfull maybe he needs to fight the other title holder. He's not very impressive lately so good luck to him and hopefully he makes a statement by beating Pavlik convincingly.
what the **** are you talking about "ain't no way Pavlik beats Taylor"? Every puncher has a chance, and the punch Taylor seems most vulnerable to is a right hand which just so happens to be Pavlik's best punch...and Taylor backs STRAIGHT up with his hands down which is asking for a right hand right on the chops. Jab his way to victory? atsch Taylor hasn't done that in god knows how many fights ago.
Now your starting to make sense....Taylor has been lack luster but he has been winning and fighting some well known names, he's old school in a way.
Absolutely Taylor deserves props for taking this fight, JUST AS HE DESERVES PROPS for fighting the best as he has been. No one in BOXING can match quality of opposition in there last six fights, Hops twice, Wright, Ouma, Spinks, and Pavlik. TAYLOR FIGHTS LIKE A CHAMPION. Hate on him if you will, but if you disrespect the facts, it's your own foolishness. BTW, Taylor beat Pavlik in the amateur's but the PRO outcome is what means something. I respect JT but am rooting for Pavlik.
yea jermain gets alot of gifts i think but it aint his fault and he will fight anyone.he does not duck anyone thats one thing i can say about him.
Taylor is a courageous kid. I just wish he'd be more entertaining. With his looks and personality, he has the potential to crossover into the mainstream and help bring boxing back to the general public.
Very well said...:good I love how people talk **** about Taylor not winning his fights convincingly. I feel he is 3-1-1 in his last 5 fights...but those fights were vs Hopkins, Hopkins, Winky, Ouma and Spinks. How many fighters have fought THAT good of a list of fighters, no matter what the outcome you may feel shouldve been? How many MORE havent?
