What Is Good About Jermain Taylor?

[abadger]

Many people have a pretty high opinion of Taylor, I often see references to his skill and athleticism. I don't hate Taylor or anything, but personally I don't see it. To me he looks like a guy who does lots of things well, but nothing excellently, has no major weapons and who seems a bit mentally fragile with an awful tendency to gas.

So what's so good about him? What do you mean by his athleticism? What is so skilful about him? Let me know.

I essentially agree with you. He was hyped from the moment his career started and isn't worthy of it. There are parallels between him and Zab in the sense that they're constantly hyped up by a minority but have never delivered actual results. They are not complete fighters.
