Does Jermain Taylor like boxing??

[Kball15]

He says he likes to fight, but he does not follow boxing.

I really find that hard to belive.

it was pretty much common knowledge that Taylor was dissinterested in boxing but i didnt know to what extent until i read that interveiw....i'll dig it out and let you know what issue it was

John Scully told me that Mike Oliver is the same way. In remote places where there isn't a large boxing fraternity, there are a lot of fighters that aren't in the know as to who are the top fighters nowadays.

I remember reading of Joe Louis towards the end of his career, when his management tried to preserve whatever tolerance of the sport that remained in him by not mentioning boxing or anything like that.

i think it was an Everlast Catalog, interviewed by Teddy Atlas. Not sure though. But i read it too so it definetly happened, u aint lying

I have heard Cotto & Floyd say the same thing before. Whatever the case is JT managed to medal at the olympics & win the recognized MW title with only 1 loss in like 30 fights.

[Rocky Katsidis]

Alot of black people take up boxing and fight as away to get out the ******, he probaly wasnt a boxing fan, but was good with his fists and knew boxing was his ticket to a better life.

When he gets knocked out again the 2nd time around i wonder what will be next for him.

Sugar Ray Robinson hated Boxing, he only did it for the money.

Fighters who go to alot of the fights are.



Wayne McCullough
Jeff Lacy
Mayweather goes to alot of fights, I think more to be seen.(a few years ago he told me, he diden't really follow the sport)


Those are here in Vegas, to me it seems that in Europe the fighters go to the fights alot more.

I remember seeing Naz,Bruno,Benn alot of those guys were always at the fights.

I read that interview too, I was going to post it a month back but I forgot lol.

[Tyson Jones]

winky wright, roy jones, jeff lacy are some of the few REAL FIGHT FANS that are fighters as well. Floyd mayweather is a fight fan as well but not like winky and lacy. Oscar delahoya doesnt really enjoy fights that much either, when you watch him ringside at fights he's promoting he has a straight face the whole time. He has no emotion. Fight fans have emotion. Taylor may not be interested in other boxers but , he's now interested in fighting for his pride. He fights for himself, much like Miguel Cotto.
