Jermaine Taylor

Why is Taylor considered to be such an athlete? He is undoubtebly strong and a physical specimen, but I find him to be a bit uncoordinated and clumsy footed. In my opinion an athlete is someone who naturally possesses universal physical abilities (i.e. Jim Brown, Roy Jones, Bo Jackson...). With coordination, balance, and fluidity being of major importance. Furthermore, an athlete should have the ability to adapt and apply intelligence to the physical tasks at hand (i.e. Bernard Hopkins). Not to mention an athlete should demonstrate consistent growth and progression. As a pro, Jermaine can't even break the amatuer habit of adjusting his headgear. He's never learned to fight on the inside...simply hits, holds alot, and waits for the ref to break. In the same light, I wouldn't consider Mike Tyson to be an athlete...more of a physical specimen trained in the art of boxing. On that note, Jermaine is in no mental state to stand up to the offensive onslaught of Pavlik. His only chance is to go for broke early...after the third round he'll be looking for a way out of there. Look for Dibella and HBO to try and cash out on Taylor one last time, especially since HBO can make just as much money, if not more, with Pavlik now. If you ask me, Taylor's gonna be all his own soon and will not be able to handle it.

Taylor will win a decision even if he's beat to a bloody pulp. It's clear that Pavlik is not only fighting Taylor but Taylor's backers who have managed to get judges to ALWAYS see Taylor winning even when he loses. There is simply no way Taylor should have been ahead on the score cards during the first fight, Cory Spinks the welterweight out pointed him and Winky Wright the Jr. Middleweight clearly beat him. Ouma another Jr middleweight I admit lost a decision to Taylor but anyone else notice not one real Middleweight until Pavlik. I believe the public drove Taylor to finally fight a real middleweight named Pavlik but once again they put the right judges in place to ensure a win for Taylor. Pavlik screwed it all up by knocking Taylor out. In the rematch I see Taylor running most of the fight to survive and glory be!!! winning a decision!!! That is unless Pavlik screws it up again and knocks him out which I believe is the only way he can win. EXACTLYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! RIGHT ON THE FUCKING HEAD ANYONE WHO DISAGREES IS CRAZY

if taylor wins there should be a 3rd fight. No doubt about it. That's a must.

if taylor wins there should be a 3rd fight. i agree ...

if taylor wins there should be a 3rd fight.

if jermain beats pavlik in the rematch it is because he has improved his defense and doesn't back up whenever pressured.

If Jermaine Wins And Tito Wins I Would Love To See That Fight. taylor vs trinidad

Pavlik was'nt winning that fight he had been put on the canvas once and had established control after that but i still had him behind by 1 round due to the knock down it did'nt matter int he end becaus he ko'd Taylor but Taylor was drawing at the very least as for Spinks winning the fight with Taylor ,NO WAY

I Don't See Jermaine Winning This One Either.pavlik Is Gonna Land,and The Minute He Lands This Fight Is Over.jermaine Is Not A Boxer Puncher,he's An Athletic Puncher That's All.pavlik Is Almost Like Tim Duncan In Fundamentals Just A Hell Of A Lot More Fun To Watch.

Pretty much. I see a trilogy in the works, one that will be remembered for years to come.
