    I don't think hes lost his hunger, I just think he doesn't have very good boxing skills and for some reason can't seem to develop them. Thats the mystery, why can't he improve? Emanuel Steward is one of the best trainers in the buisness and Taylor does not look good.

      I don't know what the **** his problem is......If anything from his disputed 1st win over Hopkins to his narrow second win and than his pure luck draw with Winky, you would think the guy would have more hunger and fire to prove himself worthy than ever.....but for some reason he does'nt.He will be KOed hard soon just wait and see.....maybe that will wake his ass up.

        Rae, I think the Winky and Hopkins fights may have screwed him up mentally. You know what I mean? Three extremley taxing fights like that. And two tough fighters like Nard and Winky, that can take alot out of a young fighter. I don't know if this is the case I'm just thinking...

          He just needs to change his management. Their matching him with Spinks was a mistake, it just made him look bad. He should change his trainer, I think Steward is excellent but is incompatible with Jermain.

                Once he's in with the right opponent he'll look a lot better.

                  Yeah I always thought most fighters wouldve been fight fans aswell but I remember seeing Earnie Shavers doing an after dinner speech and my mate asked him who was his fave fighter and what was his fight of all time and Shavers replied I dont really follow boxing never really have but I'd go for Sugar Ray as my favourite fighter but couldnt pick a favourite fight.
                  Everyone was abit taken aback as we all thought he'd follow the sport.
