Is Jermain Taylor a true champ?

[squealpiggy]

Taylor's first fight with Hopkins I scored a draw. The second I gave to Taylor. Time and time again you see that when a fighter believes he has been robbed of a decision he tends not to do a damn thing to improve his game in the rematch. Hopkins - Taylor II is one example. Toney - Peter II is another.

He is a champ... in the same way the ****e Girls were a Band..

I am one of the few who Feel he beat Wright

But IMO he lost BOTH fights to Hopkins.. Its funny how people keep saying Hopkins wasn't active enough.. (having just watched both again recently.. all I can counter IS)... AND TAYLOR was??? No he wasn't.. I am now convinced Taylor is the most negative fighter in the world..

[TheEvilSaint]

no, hes not a true champ. he didnt win the title on his own and his recent "defenses" i.e. ouma and spinks are ****ing jokes of matches.

He could lose the 2 fights with Hopkins also he could lose his fight with Wright and he couldn´t KO Ouma and did look slow and buring...

I think Taylor may lose in every moment.

He is the true champ technically but he should'nt have gotten the nod in the first Hopkins fight and Winky clearly beat him.......

[King Koyle]

He beat the man(B-Hop)...So,yes he's a true champion.The fight's with Wright and Hopkins were close,and could have gone either way.Taylor didn't win convincingly,but he also didn't lose convincingly.As for the Kassim Ouma fight,who cares if he didn't knock him out?He won damn near every round.It was just a subpar performance by Taylor.No reason to take his status away from him because of that.

i think the title should be winky's..^ but you're right...he didn't win convincingly or lose convincingly either

I thought it was a very close fight with a well deserved draw

[Soundtraveler]

Of course he is the Champ, the bottom line is - he won against Hopkins, he got the nod against Winky, who, by the way, doesn't want any more of Taylor and said as much, and thus far, nobody else in the division has been able to really put the kind of beating on Taylor that would deserve them taking the belts from the Champ, and until that happens Jermain Taylor is the Undisputed Champion in the division....
