    New Respect for Jermain Taylor

    i just wanted to say that i liked the way taylor handled his first loss. he congratulated his opponent and didnt make excuses. he simply said pavlik fought a good fight and that he has to go back to the drawing board to see what he did wrong. some fighters today like to make excuses for their losses which i think is bull****. taylor may not be the greatest fighter in the world but at least hes mature enough to admit his faults which is a good characteristic in my book for a boxer.

      So true, I really see no reason why you shouldn't like him, he figfhts the best and he fought a good fight. The rematch should be just as good.

        Margarito pops his head into the room to say:

        Taylor didn't lose fight, he just didn't win last night.

          i agree, but what was so funny about the ko was, if u watched the countdown to the fight on hbo. Taylor was talking **** about keep ur left hand up. Should have listened to his own advise, but I do have more respect for im now then i did because he took his lose loke a man. a real man, and I do wish him all the best. I personnly don't like him as a fighter, but respect him as man, which he showed last night.
