Is Jermain Taylor a shot fighter

I ve never been a taylor fan but, i couldnt help but feel sorry for dude after he got ko'd by froch, I thought he was really poised to take over 168, but the two loses to pavlik must have really left him a broken fighter, I really think JT should hang em up He was never really that good to begin with. I mean he got the decisions against Hopkins and Spinks because he looked more lively in the ring not because he was actually landing punches. To tell you the truth, he looked better against Froch than he did against Hopkins or Spinks. Probably his best performance was against Winky Wright and even then he didn't win.

He needs to go back to fighting 4, 6 & 8 round fights. He would do very well! :lol1: Taylor was the king of 6 and 8 rounders.

hell nah he was beating up that brit but something went wrong and i think he will work on it and come back. in a rematch its him by ko.

I don't think he's shot. I think it's just more of a case of him not being very good at staying on his feet, having a good workrate, keeping his stamina consistent throughout the fight, etc. He just has a firestorm of flaws that he can't seem to get over. It is a travesty that he will go down as the guy who ended Hopkins's reign. There is no ****ing way Taylor should have ever beaten Hopkins once, let alone twice.

Since he was beaten by Pavlik I always got the impression that Taylor lost all his motivation. After picking up the W's from Hopkins and being a champion, his goals were complete. Nowadays he appears to lack any kind of burning desire. It's a shame because Taylor seems like a good guy and can be an exceptional fighter at times. 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3

he's not shot. just needs to work on his stamina. Had the froch fight been a 10 rounder, he would have won comfortably.

Taylors a nice guy. but after this last fight he might never be the same fighter again. I felt he should've clinched in the last round, but he still try to box with froch, but he didn't have much left which helped froch counter attack him. That last round really hurt him not only for that fight, but for his whole career.

He's not shot he jus has stamina issues and his defense needs a lotta work. When he gets tired he neglects defense. He better master tying ppl up.

What he needs is a way to improve his conditioning. He's got heart, talent, power, skill, speed....but he may have gotten screwed genetically by the conditioning fairy. I know his trainers have said in that past that he's a hard worker, so it's probably going to be incredibly difficult (if it's even possible) for him to bring his conditioning up to a level where he can go a hard 12 with guys for whom it comes much easier, like Froch, Pavlik, and especially Calzaghe. Either that, or he's going to have to start head hunting and learning to close the show when gets his man hurt, like he invariably does. Anyway, I like the kid, he's got heart, he's humble, and he's (usually) exciting. One of my favorites, whether he wins or not.

You get the feeling he's never gonna beat an A level fighter again.

He's done as an elite.
