He is so dominating in his fight with Joppy that I even quit watching!!!

YES he looks good,but still wouldnt say hes Ready for B HOP OR TRINIDAD JUST YET. SEEMS NOT TO HAVE ALOT OF POWER

[mic573]

Taylor dominated as expected but seems to lack the power people thought he had. He has very good power but nothing big. He still needs to stay away from Tito and Hopkins. As always he is open for the right hand and tonight showed he is open to the jab over his jab as well.

Joppy needs to retire because he obviously didn't want to be in there tonight.

I agreed with Taylors own assessment of his performance after the fight. He said that he pops his jab a little too low to utilize his height advantage over his opponents but recognized that Joppy's determined jab was going over it so he switched it up a bit and had more success. I think Taylors willingness to change up something in his performance or repetoire is something that is going to set him apart from a lot of fighters and place him in the elite class, despite his apparent lack of power.

You've got to also remember that Hopkins couldn't drop Joppy either, they even had a bet on it, so that doesn't necessarily mean Taylor doesn't have any pop, I personally think Joppy's head has just filled with so much fluid from swelling up to pumpkin sized proportions from beatings over the years that his head will be able to withstand the force of nothing short of an atomic bomb.

J.T. did some great things in the ring tonight. Why not give him a shot at B-Hop or Trinidad? Who else should he fight next? Joppy was nothing short of disapointing, I basically retired tonight, if not official, the way he fought the last half of the fight will seal the deal. I cant think of any promotor or network that would put him in a fight the way he just gave tonight. I thought Taylor had a little bit more power than what he displayed tonight, however his hand speed seemed a touch faster that the last time I watched him fight.

I'm just saying because there was people on this board that was saying Taylor hit like a freight train or something like that. Any sensible person would know Taylor isn't ready for Hopkins or Tito. Taylor does seem to be the future so I wouldn't want Hopkins or Tito to take that away from him.

just heard about the fight i guess this is why joppy was a 7 to 1 underdog

****, deep down I don't even think Taylor himself thinks he's ready for Hopkins or Tito, anything that came out of his mout after the fight tonight was just buzz speak to generate interest, heres hoping his people do the right thing and give him a few more times at bat before he starts to **** it out with the big boys. He has the tools he just needs some more preening.

I agree it is all just talk right now. He seems to open to fight a hard accurate puncher like Tito who will definitely touch him more than a few times. Hopkins is too crafty and can exploit all of Taylor's mistakes.

he will lose with any legit top 10 guy
