whats wrong with jermain taylor???

Good post.

 

Same thing thats wrong with Cotto. Doesn't pace himself and not that they have bad chins they just gass out from all the exchanges. IF they were to fight 12 round fights conservatively maybe fights would be alot closer but at least they would have a chance to win a UD.

 

I think he doesn't have the heart of a fighter. He doesn't understand that if you do not get that guy infront of you out of there he is going to kick your ass because that is the attitude you need once you step in that ring. If your not willing to beat the other guy up and take his lunch than stay out of the ring becuase you are gonna get hurt and taylor is heading toward that track. He is turning into jeff lacy.

 

It has to be stamina. He was basically schooling Froch in the first 6 rounds, beating him to the punch in every single exchange and landing the more devastating shots. Froch didn't panic, got his game together and exploited JT's inactivity later on. This fight was Taylor's to lose and that's exactly what he did. He took his foot off the pedal, because he had to. He basically beat himself. Training or no traning, he has no stamina.

 

I agree but if you are controlling a fighter than you need to be looking to take him out because you can not leave a man with a fighters heart in there because he will do what froch did.

 

basically, he'll give you hell for the 1st half of the fight, but that's about it...

 

why's he touch his head so damn much?

 

i just think he is mentally weak. I think he psych himself out towards the second half of fights.

 

He seems unable to finish hurt fighters off.He looked good for most of the fight then just fell apart in the 11th and 12th.

 

Stamina

 

He was and is a good fighter.
Just not as good as he was hyped.

 

Taylor's a great fighter, with horrible stamina, who got too much in his career at too early a stage and it was all downhill from there.
