Comments Thread For: “Fighting Words” – Jermain Taylor is Not Wlad Klitschko

[anonymous2.0]

I don't think a journalist should criticize another fellow journalist/interviewer for 'softballing' an interview when he or she can't get facts in their own articles right...

ummm Maidana never dropped Khan

it did happen against khan when reffering to maidana (maidana got dropped) then got up and won on everbody elses card.....except the judges. thats what he meant.

Maidana didn't drop Khan.

And Taylor has been knocked out 3 times not 4

I just whiffed on Khan — made the correction. Taylor referenced himself being knocked out four times, forgetting that it was actually three. I merely quoted him.

And anon, hate to break it to you, but we're not perfect. Lapses in memory happen, and mistakes do get through on occasion.

The New York Times is the gold standard of journalism. Check out how many corrections they run. The Washington Post had to run a correction on a correction the other week.

I forgot when it came to this. We fixed it, and I regret the error.

You are joking right? You are one of the only people I have ever seen saying Maidana should have won that fight you are either a hater or cant score boxing matches. Id go for a combination of the two.

Yeah everyone makes mistakes no biggy, I realize you where only quoting Taylor with the 4K.O's I noticed that in the post fight interview maybe he meant he has lost 4 times.

[Larry the boss]

wtf?????

[BoxingGenius27]

wtf?????

I've never seen Jermaine like this. He's almost a new person right now.

I hope it's not "the punches" talking.

dude bute didn't make any adjustments to get over it he should have been knocked out the referee was blatantly on the take for that one

[ghost deini]

and no you're right he ain't wladimir klitschko either last time i checked taylor actually had some credible names on his list unlike dr snoozefest

I think Tito Trinidad holds the record of get dropped, survived and win. I think he did that in 5 championship bout, if I'm not mistaken.

Trinidad was impressive in that regard, but it's not a record I'm sure. Back in the old days with longer fights and rarely any premature stoppages I'm confident that you can find many fighters surviving KD's to win on multiple occasions. I know that the guy in my avatar did it many many times.

Tito was like Joe Louis in that regard. Dropped often but seldom hurt.

Is Taylor sane??

Is Taylor even mentally competent enough to fight. Was it just me or was Taylors' opponent just an average slow white kid with little talent??
