Spinks definately skooled him . That was one of the biggest robberys of recent years .
Taylor was fighting the whole night like he respected Spinks's power, I have no idea why.
because of the counter jab of spinks i think
But Spinks schooled Jermain I have to admit. He's p4p for sure even in that robbery
Someone that can't overcome a basic counter like that shouldn't be in the p4p list IMOQuote:

You guys think because a guy is fast and he lasts 12 rounds that he wins? Taylor controlled the rounds!Quote:

The fight wasn't robbery i think Spinks just stole it but it wasn't robbery too many people say robbery these days in close fights.
It's true actually you make a good point, with people saying so many fights are robberies it makes the true robberies seem less justified, which is really sad.Quote:

I am not sure. He could have fought a bunch of tomato cans and people would say he is ducking competition. The guy has fought Hopkins twice, Wright and Spinks . To name the good fighters. and that is in a 2 year span. If you think how inexperienced he was 2 years ago, and how experienced he is now it is amazing.Quote:

A robbery to me is when they give it to the wrong winner . No matter how tight or wide the margin is . Spinks knew he won after the 12 rounds and Taylor thought he lost .Quote:

If focused Corey Spinks is one of the best P4P out there hands down....That can not be denied...If anyone does deny it they are doing it due to the plain fact they just are not a fan of his not due to their knowledge of boxing....and if no one believes Spinks is that talented they need to re-evaluate their knowledge of the sport....
Taylors people took that fight because Spinks was not dangerous in the fact he is not a hard puncher....It was supposed to be a way for Taylor to go out and dominate physically...Use his boxing skills then impose his will....After that the claims could be made on a dominate performance...
The other side of it was just in case Spinks did make things difficult for Jermain boxing wise again he could just overpower him and bully Corey down then score the KO....
Here came the problem....
Taylor found Spinks to be a bit more difficult then he thought he would be...He also found that Corey was not that fazed by the size diffrence.....So somewhere in Jermains head he became afraid....
No afraid in the sense he was scared of Spinks but in the sense he was afraid to look bad against him...something Corey has a way of doing to his opponents...Taylor did not want to have a bad showing against a 154 powder puncher...That caused him to mentally not allow his hands to let go freely......Taylor is the real thing...he has all the skill.....his people need to make the adjustments and fix his menatl game all the physical attributes are there
Ok fair enough i don't see it that way but good point anyway.Quote:
