Anybody else miss a Prime Jermain Taylor???

Yes, I still support Jermaine because he is a real champion and never gave up. But a lot of people are still pissed because he got the two decisions over Hopkins and the draw with Winky.

Disputable fights nonetheless.

I had Winky winning that fight. Taylor was still fun to watch though.

Nope... i almost blame HBO for that..

and i'm STILL bitter that i drove to Memphis to watch a draw between that dude and my man Wink (which should have been a W for Winky, no question)

Whilst I haven't been around to see a prime Taylor, I would absolutely love for him to bounce back one day. He's a truly nice guy and a great ambassador for the sport. I've grown to like his style, too.

Yeah,who could forget his memorable SD over Spinks and Ouma, what a great champion he was.

Yeah, kick him while he's down

. Taylor may have declined since his two fights with Hopkins, but he never ducked anyone. He always fought the best and went out on his shield.

He really is a great guy. Everytime I see him interviewed I feel like having a pint with the bloke...

I wish him the best!!

Hate watching Taylor. Mainly because of the potential he had, he could have been so much better. Just frustrating to watch.

Has he ever even talked trash? Surely mixing it up with Hopkins would've forced something out of him. :laff2:
