Why am I the only one that sees the truth about Taylor?

[Verstyle]

Hes still unfeated so there isnt that much to talk about him with.

[Double]

No I cannot. Maybe Morales has.

appreciate the honesty

Taylor did not dominate Ouma like many thought he would. Instead, he held a lot, which was the main way he decided to thwart Ouma's output. It was lame. But hey, in the end he did win the fight, and Ouma is a tough opponent for anyone. Ouma will be champ at 154 if he gets the chance.

Spinks is not all that. Sorry. He's good but he has mental weakness and his stamina falters. I could see Manfredo beating him. Spinks is small compared to Peter, and Peter has improved a lot since Contender.

Anyway. The reason we don't see the truth about Taylor, Cletus, is because we are just unelightened fools who cannot have access to the same wealth of knowledge that you can. Thankfully, God left that to higher, more discerning men such as yourself.

I agree fully.

I think Taylor is a little underrated here to be honest. I mean yeah he's been feasting on little guys, but he has been fighting on at least the same level as Winky Wright and Bernard Hopkins, so how could he be garbage? I have him 1-1-1 in those fights (loss to Winky, draw in the first fight with Hopkins), but they were all close. He proved to be about equal to them. How could he then be garbage? Am I actually reading people here calling him garbage because he didn't dominate Bernard Hopkins or Winky Wright? Come on now. Don't be ******. Taylor may not be a top ten guy p4p (though you could sneak him in the bottom half pretty easily), but he is certainly a top fighter. And as for people comparing Spinks vs. Taylor and Manfredo vs. Calzaghe... hah. I love the logic. People rip Taylor for fighting Spinks at middleweight because Spinks is essentially a welter and that is a two class difference, but Manfredo Jr is essentially a junior middleweight and fought at supermiddle. That makes no sense. It is even in terms of weight, and Spinks is a much, much better fighter than the pride of Providence.

Taylor sucks. I can't stand him. I dunno but he bores the hell outta me and since he's stepped up, he hasn't done anything amazing. He had 2 ****ty wins over Hopkins and 1 felt more like a gift. He lost against Winky though a draw was another gift to him. He's just garbage, your not alone.

this is my thoughts exactly

[CottoOverrated1]

In his dreams he beats Kessler or Calzaghe. Were is the bashing on here for his fighting Spinks? Manfredo was a much better opponent than a guy that was a jr. welter at one point. I think Miranda or Pavlik beats his ass. I just don't get it.

are you serious? Spinks is better than anyone that ever went through the contender. Thats not saying much.

[Em1]

I mean does anyone not find it a bit odd that since he turned pro outside of Hopkins all he has been feasting on is Jr Middles? The guy is the most overrated fighter I have ever seen with his lunging and wide stance. He has a great Jab, no hook to speak of and a decent right hand. Am I missing something?

I agree 100%

[Parody]

He's fighting top guys from 154, don't make it sound like he's figing guys from 126, it's not much of a big difference between 154 and 160. Julian Jackson is considered one of the biggest punchers in the middleweight history, guess what he fought most of his career at 154.

He will fight guys like Miranda and Pavlik soon, I rather see Taylor fighting some top 154 pounders then what Hopkins did fighting many C level middleweights most of his career. Lets not forget Hokpkins 2 biggest wins came against guys who started their careers at 135 and 140. Hopkins became a superstar after fighting little guys and Taylor is getting bashed for fighting the top guys from 154.

Dude your wasting your time, boxingscene is full of JT haters. I'm not one of them and I give him the props, he is the undisputed middleweight champion and he will be a great fighter.

[potatoes]

No you're not the only one here, welcome to Boxingscene.com the home of Taylor haters.

If you know anything about boxing you will never compare Manfredo to Spinks, do you even know that Spinks is rated the #1 man at 154, he's the man that beat the man.

The Taylor/Spinks fight is between the best from 154 and 160, both Taylor and Spinks is #1 by Ring magazine.

What we had with Calzaghe/Manfredo is a guy that was fighting a TV reality star who lost to Alfonzo Gomez Jr.

I'm sick and tired of people not knowing **** about boxing talking out of their asses, if you're such a Calzaghe fan you should be looking at his resume first before talking about a guy who in his last 5 fights have fough Hopkins twice, Wright, Ouma and Spinks next!

Good post!

Taylor has taken some tough fights agsinst some very tough opponents who came to fight.
