Jermain Taylor should be Fighter Of The Year

[Parody]

Jermain Taylor by no doubt is Fighter of the Year 2005...

Let me tell you why, Taylor has been winning good fights in a steak and is a undefeated undisputed champion right now.

When he beat Alfredo Cuevas, he started getting my attention, he beat him and won every round, people started noticing what jermain taylor is... a good fighter.

Then his wins against other good prospects Alex Rios (TKO 1) & Alex Bunema (TKO 7) most people starting recognising him as a good fighter...

After all of this, When he beat 2 RESPECTED CONTENDERS who were at top 10 rankings, Raul Marquez (TKO 9) and William Joppy (UD) he got a lot of respect for his overall accomplishments, although some people said both of them were at the end of their careers.


After all of this the YEAR 2005 started with Taylor looking fresh...and this is the main reason why he is the fighter of the year 2005..

His next fight was with a highly ranked Undefeated contender Daniel Edouard (16-0 at that time),Taylor took this fight to convince people that the fighters he fought before were at the end of the career, but taylor could do the same damage to any other fighter who gave him a chance and took the fight..some people predicted Edoard would win this one because he looked really good in his last fight and won the USBA Belt just in round 4, against another undefeated prospect at that time (Gibbs), Daniel has only 1 loss right now and that is too taylor, With this win Taylor earned a title bout against Bernard Hopkins, Taylor before also had been touted by many as the Heir apparent to Bernard Hopkins throne...

Jermain Taylor beat Bernard Hopkins in a close fight, some people said it was a robbery, but it was a very close fight which Taylor won, and finally the dream was true, Taylor was the Undisputed Middleweight Champion at the Age of 27.

Taylor gave Hopkins a rematch which was billed "No Respect" because Taylor said "I have no respect for the man" and "he is a dirty fighter"... This time Taylor won by Unianimous Decision, all judges scoring 115-113 in favour of taylor, and majority of the people thought taylor won.

Although the fights were close, Taylor had won them.

Taylor said:

"I give myself a B this time," Taylor said. "I won't give myself an A because I didn't knock him out. But I still won it and I'm taking the belts back to Arkansas."

"The difference in this fight is that Bernard respected me a little more," Taylor said. "I came out in this fight determined to win. Taking nothing away from Bernard Hopkins, the man is an excellent fighter."

This showed he still respects Hopkins and Hopkins still respects him, he may be nick named "Bad Intentions" but he has the very best Intentions against his opponent and outside the ring.

Even though I dont think he deserved the wins, he should get FOTY for them. No one did any better than him this year, IMO.

[iron mike tyson]

even tho i beleive its been a good year for jt i beleive hatton has should be
he stopped argubly the top p4p fighter in the division to win the ibf title
then pulverised a very awrkward fighter in muassa

ricky hatton did more than taylor and did it better than taylor. and none of hatton's fights this year were controversial or boring or unimpressive or questionable.

taylor pales in comparison to hatton in terms of FOTY accomplishments in 2005.

so you had Tszyu ranked above Hopkins in June? Wow, your list ******! Even if you had Tszyu above Hopkins (you are the only one), Taylor beat his p4p opponent TWICE. That is the biggest a year can get IMO. Bigger than Corrales last year, bigger than Toney in 2003.

BOTH hopkins and tszyu are legends but taylor got an undeserving decision in the 1st fight and eeked away with a UD in the 2nd of two very boring and unimpressive fights.

hatton made the legendary tszyu QUIT. hatton cemented his status as a top guy by unifying the IBF and WBA jr welter titles.

hatton beat two champions, both by knockout, in two entertaining fights. taylor put a lot of people to sleep by pulling off an upset on the longest reigning MW champion ever. but neither fight ended in a KO, neither fight would ever merit a fight of the year award, and taylor hardly proved himself worthy of being a champion.

sometimes (in this case) its not who you beat, its HOW you beat them.

you're a joke. who cares how interesting or entertaining the fight is?! Winky DOMINATED Trinidad, but does it mean nothing just because it was boring? **** OFF, CLOWN!! Taylor is fighter of the year and I guaran-damn-tee he wins it.
