I'm interested to see how the boxingscene community looks at his career right now. I know its early but he has three big wins under his belt. Two of those three wins if not three of those three wins are controversial. In your opinion is he a overated fighter who got lucky a couple times or is he a real champion for the future?
im just trying to let it be known that even if you were to make a good point chances are people wont know what the shit your talking about. helping you out brother thats all
easy boy!
all this agro cos i dnt write full words!
man u need to chil out!
i dnt type like this cos i wana act like a thug or act hard or anyfin, this is how i wana type, u gota problem with it, i dnt care!! simple as! im my own person, dnt realy give a shit wa others think. im no alter ego online or anythin!
jokers like u mess up a gud thread about jermain taylor and turn da it into a english lesson!
shows how sad sum ppl realy are!
coming from the person who cant speak in english without talking in slang, I mean it's one thing if you have to speak like that outside of the scene which is sad by itself but when you have to incorporate it into your computer talk as well your the one thats sad. I mean do you really think it saves time typing or does it make you feel tough like a thug? I know for one thing it doesnt save anyone any time when they are trying to decipher what you just wrote because you feel the need to talk like that as if it's the cool thing to do.
I'll say this now which I'll just say to all who type like that.....It doesnt make you cool to talk like dis instead of this or dat isntead of that, wud instead of would. It doesnt make you look tough, it doesnt save you time nor does it make it easier for anyone to understand. What it does do is make you look like a lazy teenager that is uneducated.
aint dat da fact jack huhhhh. Jjjjjeez man I I I shh shhh sures hope you da dda dont ta ta taalk like thaa that out ssss sss side the boxingscene.
shows how sad sum ppl realy are!
a padded record, gift decisions, questionable victories, and for some1 whos supposed to be "the undisputed middleweight champion of the world" hes still too crude. if taylor's at his peak right now, he really sux.
What's your problem now rocco? :D Still can't get a grip of reality?
ohh I have no problem I just had to comment on his speak, no matter what you feel and how I feel we arent going to agree I spoke my part as did you we are entitled, I have people following my theory as do you not saying yours is wrong and mines right it's all a matter of opinion and I'm straight with that. I finished on this conversation when I left work as I said though I saw that and had to say something.
bert sugar! so just like sum1 previously sed, is his da only opinion dat counts in boxing!
u surely remember da fact dat it was 50-50 over who won da fight, al so called experts were split in decidin who won! i think taylor won his fights against hopkins but lost to winky, dats purely my opinion nufin more!
i just say respect Taylor for fightin a best der is! not duckin any1, and look who hes fightin now! Kassim Ouma! hes an ace fighter! and remember he tried to rematch winky aswel, but winky refused!
so how can u cuss him!??

he's coming along nicely. i think that they are bringing him up right and i'm glad he's getting fights that are decent match ups. i do feel that he does get favortism being the HBO bread and butter, but other than that he's progressing nicely.
and i'm a huge critic when it comes to taylor, but as a whole, taylor and his team i think are doing the right and necessary stuff to create a solid career. it's not like he's still being fed soft opposition anymore.

Hopkins just slowly evolved his dirty rough defensive style into a game that was very tough to beat- it didn't make him a dominant or an all-time great fighter in my opinion,.
Bernard Hopkins not an all time great and not a dominant fighter? :confused:
i dont like the people who disrespect Taylor!
name one other fighter who fights arguably da p4p no1 at dat time 3times in a row! hopkins was by sum voted as no1 by loads, and winky was voted as sum as p4p no.1 wen taylor fought him! yet ppl diss him!
he is a throw back, he only wants to fight the best!
win lose draw u HAVE to appreciate dat! he doesnt give a shit about havin easy wins in his hometown, he wants to go around fightin the best!
he has a gr8 heart, gud skill, and is stil young n guna learn alot more yet!
we NEED more boxers like him!
if any1 doesnt agree with wa i sed il continue writin to argue my point!
im surprised ppl on this site who r "boxing fans" are dissin him!
safe
I hope Taylor's future sucess will erase this criticism from the B-Hop fights and Winky fight. Nobody was robbed in any of those fights. A close fight and they gave it to Taylor isn't a robbery. Its not like Winky won the first 8 or 9 and Jermaine won the last 3 or 4.
well sorry I had wright up 2 rounds but I guess 2 rounds isnt clearly enough
so you had it 115-113 and you thought Wright clearly won? do you realize if you change one, just ONE, of those rounds to a Taylor round, you have a draw? do you realize how stupid you sound yet or should I keep going?
He's an over rated fighter that has been immortalized by the boxing public since his first fight.
He was carried into stardom before he even made a name for himself in the sport of boxing, he is HBO's golden child/the future for HBO boxing (if you dont believe me just listen to the commentary during his fights), He has talent but doesnt use his head in the ring so he doesnt live up to his potential(he could be special but needs alot more experience and I mean alot).
He never really fought a named fighter till he fought Joppy but Joppy was all done after he had be demolished by Trinidad and still isnt the same. So Taylor gets a shot at the title after beating pretty much a chump with a cheap record of 16-0-2 that was an unknown.
He has fought two big names in his career, Bernard Hopkins twice in which both victories came from very controversial decisions, both fights Hopkins landed more punches and threw less, both fights there was almost a 10% difference in connect ratio between the 2 fighters resulting in 2 gift decisions for Taylor.
This is where I began to see just how much he was carried due to the big talks about how Hopkins was old and how boxing needed a new champion, that Taylor was the next big thing, noone liked Hopkins because he was in charge of his career and basically the whole politics in boxing really showed at this point.
Next he goes and fights Winky Wright another unorthodox fighter that has pretty much been in charge of his career and had never really gotten a name for himself due to his style, so they fight Wright clearly beats the double pumping, juking all the time, jittery fighting Taylor through 12 rounds and once again Taylor is given a gift decision (draw which should have been a win for Wright).
Now after all this you can begin to see just how much he is being carried, I mean do you really expect HBO and Dibella to lose money on him after investing so much to make him a household name if he keeps losing? So what do they do? They set it up so somehow every fight is close enough so it can go either way regardless of how one sided it was for the other man and Taylor, HBO and Dibella make out.
Now after 3 wasted hours that proved nothing and a waste of 150 dollars we still have to watch this over rated fighter get some more gift decisions and hopefully one day mature into a real fighter that can use his brain a little to show the talent he does have.
are you joking?
