Jermain never had the heart of a champion. I always said this since they started showing his fights on HBO.
In every interview he was asked if he was ready or when will he be ready and he said stuff like
"im not that really good" after the Marquez fight
he also said after they asked him if he was ready or if he wanted to be Middlweight king and he said
"i dont know, im not sure yet" after the Joppy fight."
Roy Jones noticed that as well, after the interview he said "im not sure about the kid's attitude, He should be saying 'YES IM READY I WANT TO BE THE BEST!' and doesnt seem he has that fire yet.
IN the Edoard fight his trainer told him to stop saying sorry to the guy everytime he accidently fouled him.
And we all know how excited and proud he seemed after the fight against Bernard lol.
I dont know, I know Jermain is really shy and a quite person cause he cant really talk good. And i know all this trash talking hes doing is cause his team as told him to do so.
But he just doesnt have that attitude to be a great fighter. Even Oscar De La Hoya whos the nicest person out the ring (like a damn english teacher) has a fire inside him when he fights.
Maybe he will grow one
He could just be humble, part of his personality. A lot of people who are really driven don't show it on the outside because a lot of the time that's the sign of an insecure person. You know, guys like Hopkins were born to talk trash but a lot of people talk tough because really they have doubts about their abilities, whereas other guys who are inconspicuous are confident enough to let their skills do the talking.
I guess we'll find out Saturday what kind of heart he has as this is a bout where you would need it the most.
yup taylor has tha heart jus like tuprincipe said he's jus ensure of himself...taylor has skills and he will defeat hopkins once again and this time he will win by KO jus watch and see haha tha WRATH of taylor is yet to come lol hahah
jermaine by UD of late KO 11-12 round ko
Well those questions will be answered, if most if have not already been answered, Saturday when he faces X again.
I agree. I fully expect Hopkins to be at the very best he can be at 40 yrs old. If Taylor wins this time in any manner then i think he has earned his titles and respect that should go with it!
Taylor has a good heart.
He was storming after Hopkins after He would get countered countlessly by right hand leads.
Trust me, the kid has heart he's just ensure of himself.
BINGO! i shouldnt have said he doesnt have the heart, my bad. Yeah hes not sure of his ability and doesnt have that nasty attitude to be a champ (in my pinion)
Taylor has a good heart.
He was storming after Hopkins after He would get countered countlessly by right hand leads.
Trust me, the kid has heart he's just ensure of himself.
