Yes, it does. Just cause taylor has manners and some decency, that in no way makes him 'soft'

I guess we'll have to wait and see won't we?

And yes B-Hop is 40, and has tons more experience in 12 round championship fights(20!!) than Taylor. If he would have gassed earlier than JT I would have been in a state of complete shock.

And too SOFT? If you knew anything about Jermain or his upbringing, you'd know he's FAR from soft. The kid is an animal, but he's humble and respectful. He's honest about his mistakes, and he doesn't have a huge ego like the rest of these clowns.

JT will reign supreme in that division for a while. He will beat Hopkins in a rematch, and don't even get me started on Sturm's weak ass. Jab vs. Jab? Pffft, Taylor will eat that dude alive.

no Oscar has manners Leneord has manners Gatti , Lacy, Glenn Johnson. But they all show they have confidence in their skills. Every interview taylor had hes always saying hes not good enough, that hes not sure if he wants to be the best

he always says theres room for improvement, and that he's gonna train hard. He is right...there is, and he will.

what the hell??? are you serious??? Have you seen Kostya Tysyu, Oscar De la Hoya, Mike Tyson in their last fights??

So your saying a 40 year old should have more stamina than a 25 year old in the later rounds?

No.. He said after the Joppy fight that he wanted Tito or B-Hop. He took the fight with Eduoard and annhihilated him.

Like I said, he doesn't have the big ego. He just does his talking in the ring, and so far he's made some pretty sound statements.

Why is everyone discrediting Taylor like he's a fluke? If you guys like Hopkins so much, even HE said Taylor is the obvious future of this division.

[dansweeney]

Hopkins will ko taylor in the rematch,and taylor knows it!

WOW dude.

Let's see, I'm not talking about Tyson, DLH, Kostya... I'm talking about BERNARD HOPKINS, who everyone and their mother knows he hit his prime late and only got better with experience...

Yes, I'm dead serious.

And DLH wasn't even tiring in his last fight, he just got dropped by a perfect shot. Tyson didn't train hard enough, and Kostya was coming back after a long ass layoff...

i dont like Hopkins at all and i dont care about Taylor, i just dont like how one got guy can get robbed just cause its a bussiness. Jermain has been spoon fed by HBO all his career cause they think he might be their new cash cow. Bernard has only 1 or 2 fights left while Jermain has at leats 10 more. And of course Bernard is going to say that hes not going to say "oh this guy is garbage, but buy my PPV anyways please."

Im not saying Taylor is garbage but he has a lot of improvements he need to wokr on. Most importantly is his phycological state of mind when he comes to fight. He seems likes hes not sure of himself. Before the Joppy fight he was asked if he was ready to be king of the division, he said he wasnt sure if he wanted to be the best. I would understand if hte kid is humble and says "yeah im ready to be the best, but respect the fighters out ther" or sumting. But every interview he sounds like hes an old fighter who doesnt want to fight anymore.
