I agree with you it was honesty, because he is honestly doesnt care if he fights the best, as long as hes making the money. And as for my post, thats as I honest as I can be. Dont know what your trying say there.
I give him all the respect in the world to get in their with those guys and fare so good, but cmon lets get real. I thought he lost the Winky fight and the first B-hop fight, maybe the Ouma fight and definitly the Spinks fight. He could have fought Floyd and I would still give him little respect, even if he won(hed get schooled bigtime). The fact of the matter is, if your a middleweight, you fight middleweights, tune up fight or not. I dont care. If your using smaller fighters with good reputations to build up your "championship" status and still dont perform, then thats bull****, I dont care what you think. And ya I woudnt call it hate, but I have had a huge distaste for Taylor and today it will finally be cured so Ill happy again....:fire EDIT:Oh you do know both B-hop and Winky were past it physiclly, meaning Taylor had the physical advantages but his ****-poor skills still couldnt (difinitvly) beat either of them. In **** poor i mean for an undisputed champion hailed as the next all time great.
Taylor will have his moments...but there is a chance Pavlik might win a competitive UD (dependant onn sound scoring by the judges) - Taylor will should be stunned a few times though, but my be smart enough to survive. But whoever is going to win, it will be close I possibly believe. (please note this is not an official China_hand_Joe prediction - merely vague observations)
How long have you been watching boxing to be so uninformed. atsch Former MW Champ William Joppy. Arguably the best fighter of the past decade Bernard Hopkins. Top 5 p4p fighter (at the time of the fight) Winky Wright. Ultra high output, former world champion Kassim Ouma. Awkward southpaw, former undisputed champion Cory Spinks. Now the most dangerous puncher in the MW division. Get that biased bull**** outta here.
Ouma and Spinks are only questionable challenges whey they are part of a 6 fight streak that also includes Hopkins 2xs, Wright, and Pavlik. How many boxers today have faced such a difficult schedule? Very, very few if any. The only legitimate complaint about Ouma and Spinks is that Taylor should have looked better against them. I felt Taylor beat Spinks, maybe he should have been more impressive, but most feel Taylor won that bout. HBO does hype Taylor too much and he has been getting by in part to his athleticism and youth, but a decent amount of skill has to factor in as well. I don't understand the hate Taylor recieves lately. I also think Pavlik wins tonight, but I'd be very surprised if it was a slaughter. This looks to be an even type of fight.
