Re: What is Jermain Taylor's best asset?
His best asset is probably his physical stature.
Re: What is Jermain Taylor's best asset?

make no istake taylor can box, but he needs to get his a** into gear and prove it
even still I'm not sure he's an incredibly skilled fighter, that right hand is telegraphed all to hell and I'm not totally sure he has a good chin, I think that's still debatable.
I guess it would be his jab like Ice Cold said but he hasn't really been using it. He's also extraordinary at getting Jim Lampley to say "big right hand from Taylor" even when it lands on the other guy's gloves or shoulder, or not at all.
i know im surin alot of words tat the forum **** out lol (mainly coz i been hitting the rum tonight ;D) im not syaing taylor has incredible skill but he has skills, you don't get a gold medal for being a less than skillfull fighter...
Taylor hasn't got a gold medal!
He's just not that good. To be honest ANY strong, tough, hard working, big middleweight with good fundamentals could be world champion right now. B Hop and Winky are FAR from unbeatable, I'd fancy Pavlik to beat both of them, Froch to beat both of them, Mundine to beat both of them etc.
Taylor is the only big, young middleweight either of them has faced. Guys like Eastman, Soliman, Quartey etc are hardly real middleweight contenders.
Re: What is Jermain Taylor's best asset?
He is a very good athlete. His jab was one of the best in the business until he recently abandoned it. It's strange...i give him props for fighting Hopkins and Wright...but i think those fights, along with Spinks, threw off his style. He just seems like a fighter searching for a comfort zone again. And it doesn't help fighting guys like Spinks, Hopkins, and Wright. I think the best thing for him right now is to fight an aggressive brawler...like a Miranda...someone who will bring the fight to him and force him to come out of his shell and show some fire. I think it's a bit early to think he cannot regain his early potential...but he definitely needs to step up. First thing is for him and his team need to find a good opponent that will let him showcase his talent and be an exciting match up.

I think you're right on the money....His jab has the POTENTIAL to be great.....but he uses it way to infrequently...
Re: What is Jermain Taylor's best asset?
Personally...I think that Taylor has learned to do just enough to win.
He's got a great jab & loads of skills...but he's learned that with HBO behind him he'll be bankable...no matter what or how little he does.
Re: What is Jermain Taylor's best asset?
Jermain Taylor's best asset is him being a BIG middleweight.
Re: What is Jermain Taylor's best asset?
...the jab when he uses it
Re: What is Jermain Taylor's best asset?
Re: What is Jermain Taylor's best asset?
His best asset is his ability to fight to the level of his opposition
Re: What is Jermain Taylor's best asset?
His jab is a thing of beauty fast and strong, i think he could beat just about any middle/super middle weight if he applies him self and uses his JAB kindda like ali.
I still dont know why fighters with a great jab neglect to use it like JT and ODLH, u would think that with the level there on they would learn to use there best asset
Re: What is Jermain Taylor's best asset?
None of the above. I chose his bank account . Really thats the only thing he is really working on.
Re: What is Jermain Taylor's best asset?
His best asset is his home own advantage
