Which of these fights did Jermain Taylor lose?

[wolfgang]

I though he lost to winky and spinks, and the first fight with hopkins was close but had taylor winning 7 rounds to 5, but I dont understand why people think that taylor beat spinks, the reason people thought the mayweather oscar fight was so close was because oscar threw alot more punches than floyd, taylor never let his hands go, he waited 30 seconds sometimes just to throw a single punch.

Hopkins-Taylor I- I thought Jermain won clearly but Bernard did well late
Hopkins-Taylor II- I thought Bernard won or at least a draw
Wright-Taylor- One time I thought Jermain won and then I scored a draw
Spinks-Taylor- I thought Jermain won but Spinks may have taken 3 or 4 rounds

If he lost any IMO they were to Hopkins.

Interesting responses.. Varied.

I'm sorry, but having him lose to Spinks is just ludicrous. Spinks maybe won 4 rounds. Maybe.

The Hopkins fight, I understand how non-boxing fans scored it for Hopkins. Hopkins lost 7 of the first 8 rounds, comes on strong to take the last 4, does the only damage of the fight, so obviously he looks like the winner because he finished strong and actually landed big shots. BUT HE LOST ROUNDS. I could see how UFC fans scored this for Hopkins, and I know we have a lot of them on here now, so that's not too surprising.

The Wright fight was the closest of all. I was ok with the draw, but if either guy won it, it was Taylor.

Tell that to the plethora of Boxing journalists that had Spinks..

I can't take the fan opinion of this very seriously.


Taylor lost to Spinks.

I thought Taylor lost the first fight with Hopkins. There's a big difference between aggression & effective aggression & all you have to do is watch that fight & you'll see the difference. The second fight was very close & I thought Taylor won the fight by two rounds but honestly you could make a case for Hopkins winning a close fight. The fight with Winky was just a bad decision. I thought Winky won that fight comfortably but it seems you have to KO Taylor to beat him in a close fight. I didn't watch the fight with Spinks because I knew that fight was going to be terrible & I was right from what I read about it. I have no desire to see that fight either.

its not really the decisions that inspire my ire of taylor, moreso its how he fights... like a *****.

[Knicksman20]

I'd like to see Taylor win a fight without a cloud of doubt over the decision for once.

i picked b-hop

because he was a champion whith 20 something title deffensis. and a fight like that should always go to the champ period.
