Why dont you like Jermaine Taylor?

[Nawfal]

he fights the best and comes to fight

what more can you ask for?


He may well be limited, and has definately had a few dodgy decisions, but thats not his fault. he hasnt done anything wrong.


he got a "gift" against hopkins I and had an immediate rematch. i think he tried to push for a winky rematch as well.

what do you expect him to do after a bad decision? give up his title and say he lost and the judges made a mistake?

[hopkinsfan07]

the decisions annoy me

and the fact he has fought 2 light middle weights trying to get a easy KO but cant

your right though he has fought very good fighter's better then most on the P4P list

[Nawfal]

yeah i know the decisions annoy a lof of you but he does go for the rematch

thats all you can ask of him really

[Fab2333]

I like JT, i give him all the respect 4 wat he has accomplished. He fights top competition. Might not loo impressive in his last couple of outings. But he gets the job done.

[jonesjrp4p1]

i like jermain hes one of my favs and for every one to know i had him winning both bhop fights and the winky fight

[brooklyn1550]

People don't like the fact that he got two close decisions over Hopkins and drew with Winky. It's not JT who was scoring the fights.

[Ramshall1]

I find it odd that so many black people dont like him, is it cause he likes country music?

[Nico]

I think Jermain is awesome. Good fighter, fights the best available competition as some of you have already mentioned. And he's a classy guy, a very good representative of the sport. :good

lol wft man:rofl :patsch

[Danny Ocean]

i have no idea

[DanePugilist]

Figthing the "best" is a painted picture - besides - he fights very boringly nor does he evolve, quite the opposite.

[Speak.King]

This guy beat Bernard twice and Winky. Even if you disagree,they were still close fights. And both of them shut out Tito. Oh! people want knockouts. Who knocksout Bernard and Winky? Give him some credit. I used to be a hater.

Hey BRUH . . . there's no explanation in this world that could enlighten people with a brain with the size of a peanut. :D :lol:

These people idolizes just a few fighters and not the sport of boxing. And fighters outside their nuthugging list are all bums.

:yep :good :rofl

[Speak.King]

My fault slim, a draw. Fact straight.

[psychopath]

Because he sucks ! :good


Oooh . . . logical point of view. :roll:

:happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy

:rofl

[psychopath]

maybe because he doesnt give a good show and when ask who does he wants to fight he says the one that brings me most money

. . . or maybe because he wins fights not so convincingly the way people expected him to. :D

[psychopath]

Yeah , I wish I could be as enlightened and sophisticated as you !:barf

You can only hope for that kid. :hey

But then you don't have to be sophisticated . . . all you have to do is use your brain a little bit more and give out a logical view instead of those moronic one liners. :yep

[compukiller]

The fact that he isn't very good and is very boring is probably why people dislike him. HBO still has him set as their posterboy despite the fact that he's shown repeatedly that he's not that good, and has no star potential. It's just odd that they continue to baby him when he's just not that good. He's mediocre.

I was gonna respond, but this post said it all. :deal

[compukiller]

It's funny how JT gets a pass for getting dodgy decisions from some on here, but if DLH has a fight that was at all close and he gets the decision, people cry robbery immediately:deal :yep

[vonBanditos]

He doesn't feel like a champion and that frustrates a lot of people. He has no satisfying wins. The Pavlik fight will change that. Win or lose the general feeling is that Pavlik's style demands a fun fight.

Personally, I don't dislike De La Hoya for getting close decisions. I dislike him for how he acts when he does get them. I remember after he was given a decision against my boy Sweat Pea, they asked him about a rematch right after the fight and said he wouldn't give him a rematch because nobody wanted to see it(this was during the post-fight interview). Then when he feels he lost a close decision he whines incesesntly. He even tried to protest the Mayweather fight(this was a clear win for Floyd). The guy just irks the shit out of me.

[Ramshall1]

WTF ? What kind of racist shit is that ?

no way, he's one of my favorite fighters despite the Spinks fiasco. . .but I was on another site a year ago and most of the black posters seemed to despise Taylor for some reason, I could never figure out why. .. maybe he has no "street cred" whatever that means.

[Ramshall1]

What the hell are you talking about ? What are black guys supposed to just like him because he's black ? And how do you know what color other posters on sites are ?

I dont mean they simply "didnt like" him. . . it was more like they despised him.

well when a poster has this as their sig. . . [Only registered and activated users can see links]

it might be a hint. ;)

it might be a hint. ;)It's a fake myth that blacks don't hate their own kind. They can be objective to race, just like anyone else.
