WILL TAYLOR EVER WIN A FIGHT CONVINVINGLY AGAINST A HIGH PROFILE FIGHTER IN WHICH HE IS GETTING THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT AND SQUEAKING BY LATELY? WILL HE EVER WIN WITHOUT CONTROVERSY? IS HE EVEN GOOD ENOUGH?
You would struggle to find a more convincing points victory, than that of Taylor’s against the then World class William Joppy; 12/0 across the board, with a 10/8 round to boot!
TAYLOR IS BARLLEY SQUEAKING BY HOPKINS AND WRIGHT WHO YOU GUYS SAY ARE ON THERE WAY OUT. SO HOW MANY FIGHTS WILL BE HANDED TO HIM? WILL HE EVER HAVE TO HAVE A FIGHT WHERE HE WILL NEED TO WIN OR WILL ALL THE CLOSE ONES BE A SHOE IN BECUAE HE IS THE NEW GOLDEN BOY?
Oh, stop with the “Golden Boy” crap already. He hasn’t had a damn thing handed to him. The first BHOP fight was a close call, but the second one was an obvious victory. Everyone seems to forget that Bernard wasn’t his first opponent. He may not be the best technical boxer in the world, but he was knocking out plenty of good fighters long before his first match-up with BHOP.
Then he gets the opportunity to fight two of the hands-down best fighters in the world. Both are tougher than fucking coffin nails, and people give him shit because he didn’t make it look easy. WTF?
britkid I’m surprised at you. Hoppy was off for a year after taking a beating from Bernard Hopkins and had only fought twice in the last 2 years world class when Taylor fought him? doubt it ;D
Alot of these haters making comments about JT are the same people who love ODH. All his mega fights and never a good showing yet you hear people call him a legend. OSCAR, OSCAR, OSCAR
I think he is a great fighter…he just got in the ring with the best 2 fighters in the division in the last 3 fights…I don’t think anyone has ever looked good against B-HOP or Winky…I think someone else is going to feel the rath of Taylor…as I said he’s a great fighter and better person…the more I hear him speak the more respect him…very gracious…good kid…
What a ridiculous post. Taylor fought Hopkins and Winky, back to back, two of the best fighters in the world pound-for-pound. When you get two marvellous athletes, at the top of their game, you are obviously going to have close-knit fights.
Man Taylor is so raw and still doing a hell of a great job on legendary middle weights all he needs to do his Keep his freaking Hands up, fix up his foot work, and his freakin weird stance and nobody is messing with him Hopefully emanuel stewart will fix and tweak these things in JT i beleive on day he will be far better than hopkins ever was
how long was kosta tszyu off before he fought hatton??
how active was he leading up to the lay off??
i guess that logic only applies to fighters that you decide you like
