      only problem with his analysis is taylor doesnt hit as hard as he thinks , hbo has everybody believing taylor is some huge puncher, this whole discussions a joke , winkys not bad im not a winky fan , but in my opinion taylor sucks he looks akward his defense is horrible he was hit so clean how could winky get a draw he never really hit winky clean. taylor has no footwork his just fighting smaller men and has alot of speed, the only real middle wieght he fought was hopkins and all the rest were jr middles and hes at least a super middle if he fought calzage lacy or any of the super middleweight he would get killed

        Jermain Taylor is not a supermiddle, nor does he belong there. He came into the ring at 170 vs Wright. Wright came in just 4 lbs lighter than that. You know how much Calzaghe probably weighs on fight night? Probably around 180.

            Wright said he's had trouble making 154 for several years. So you can take that up with him.

            Wright has been at 160 for 3 fights now, and has looked good just now vs the champ at that weight. He's a middleweight now. He himself believes he has grown out of 154.

                Right on point. A good way to tell whose fans are being bias is the scorecards. Nobody ever claimed Taylor won by more than 7 rounds to 5, yet the Winky fans are trying to say he won 8 or more rounds. It tells you who is biased, and therefore, WHO IS WRONG. A draw is acceptable to me or a Taylor win, but not a Wright win and not by the margin his fans are claiming he won by. Get real, Winky fans. The man doesn't want a rematch for a reason. He's content with the draw and knows he gets dropped and beat up in a rematch. Admit it.

                  That is true. Winky is not accepting a rematch for a reason. He knows how hard Taylor hits. And if they were to meet up in the ring again Taylor would win. The Vargas fight was closer than this. If they were to fight again Taylor would win via UD and knock Winky down in the process. Belive that.
