Anybody else miss a Prime Jermain Taylor???

you mean the guy who decisioned hopkins 2 times and then was out of his prime?

Yeah,who could forget his memorable SD over Spinks and Ouma, what a great champion he was. Pacquiao looks alot different than when he was younger. He was bald and was more tanned. :) Regarding Taylor, he did put on some awful performances as champion like Spinks and Ouma but his fight with Wright was great. I like Taylor overall though, he's a nice guy. He's had a tough time these past few years and i hope he bounces back.

Has he ever even talked trash? Surely mixing it up with Hopkins would've forced something out of him. :laff2: I heard him call Winky Wright "Stinky Wright" on TV :lol1:. He seemed to be talking trash to Hopkins at one of the weigh ins.

He really is a great guy. Everytime I see him interviewed I feel like having a pint with the bloke... I wish him the best!! Has he ever even talked trash? Surely mixing it up with Hopkins would've forced something out of him. :laff2:

Hate watching Taylor. Mainly because of the potential he had, he could have been so much better. Just frustrating to watch.

Yeah,who could forget his memorable SD over Spinks and Ouma, what a great champion he was. Yeah, kick him while he's down :nonono:. Taylor may have declined since his two fights with Hopkins, but he never ducked anyone. He always fought the best and went out on his shield.

Whilst I haven't been around to see a prime Taylor, I would absolutely love for him to bounce back one day. He's a truly nice guy and a great ambassador for the sport. I've grown to like his style, too.

Nope... i almost blame HBO for that.. and i'm STILL bitter that i drove to Memphis to watch a draw between that dude and my man Wink (which should have been a W for Winky, no question)

Yes, I still support Jermaine because he is a real champion and never gave up. But a lot of people are still pissed because he got the two decisions over Hopkins and the draw with Winky. I had Winky winning that fight. Taylor was still fun to watch though.
