why is he still questioned,
he beat(atleast once) the P4P king who later went and destroyed Tarver
got a draw with a man who gave an indigestion to Tito Trinidad with all that leather he feed him. then outclassed and punished Ouma.
but he sucks???
explain that one to me...
I still was not all that impressed with him. He did what he was suppose to do in beating Ouma. He was the much bigger stronger guy. Ouma did not belong at that weight and Taylor still couldn't hurt or pout him down. Ouma kept coming forward no matter what Tylor did. Taylor hit Ouma with a lot of shots but never hurt him. I think if he fights Calzaghe right now, Calzaghe will expose him and beat him pretty convincingly. Calzaghe is to good of a boxer and moves to well. He is so much better technically and Taylor's flaws would get exposed badly. I think if he wants to stay undefeated he should avoid Calzaghe for a while. I'm not really sure there is much he can do to fix those flaws, that is the way he fights and I think Calzaghe is a bad matchup for him.
Ouma been knockdown but never Knockedout and that is the point i want to make.
Taylor is abover averge MW i wont say he has the punching power but he still could KO if you got so many powershots.
He draw with Winky was because Winky fooled around in the last round as well as i he lost couple of round because he didnt put the garud up if he just done that simple thing he would have won
Hopkins didn't look very impressive in many of his middleweight fights either. I give credit to Taylor who does not turn down an opponent. Thats a definition of a real champ.
I certainly don't think that he sucks,but I did expect him to look a little more impressive against Ouma.I knew he was a little unpolished,but I had no idea how unpolished until saturday night.But a wins a win!He also seemed a little too eager to impress,which made him look all the wilder.I still think that he has a good future though.Good luck to him,he's a likeable guy!
I am far from a JT hater. i think that the way he throws fast combos with huge bursts make his shots really easy to score by judges. although I ust say that i was suprised that ouma did not fall. Not sure to credit his chin or say that JT does not hit as hard as we thought. Ouma has been droped before by guys that we do not laud for there power. something to think about.
Just FYI, Ouma was knocked down by Roman Karmazin and Marco Antonio Rubio.
Twice, heh. Granted 1 was from a body shot if memory serves... but I haven't seen the fight other than the one time.
just because he didnt KO Winky or Hop???
let me remind you Ouma has only been down in one fight back in 99 when he was green......

Instead of making this thread you could, you know... read the 20 other threads about Taylor and his performance that left people doubting his abilities and continuing to qusetion him... myself included.
I'll summarize:
People think B-Hop won the first and second fight and Winky also won their fight. THat means some people have him 1-3 in his last 4 fights and his only win in that group being to a tiny, feather fisted Ouma. Even if he did win those fights to suggest he won convincingly would be a lie... further he couldn't even knock Ouma out yet is supposed to pack a hell of a punch which he has yet to show us on any decent opponent.
